Equipment

• Strainer Hawthorne and Fine-mesh
• Jigger
• Rocks Glass
• Cocktail Shaker

Ingredients

• 1.5 oz tequila
• 0.75 oz lemon juice
• 0.75 oz agave nectar
• 1 egg white
• Rosemary sprig cranberries, and lime wedge (for garnish)

Instructions

• Combine the tequila, lemon juice, agave nectar, and egg white in a cocktail shaker without ice.
• Dry shake (shake without ice) vigorously for about 10 seconds to create a frothy texture.
• Add ice to the shaker and shake again briefly, 2–3 times, until well-chilled.
• Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with ice using a Hawthorne strainer. For an ultra-smooth finish, use a fine-mesh strainer as well.
• Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary, a few cranberries, and a lime wedge for a festive touch.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Pro Tips

• Ensure your shaker is sealed tightly before the dry shake to avoid any spills.
• Use fresh citrus juice for the best flavor; bottled juice won’t provide the same brightness.
• To enhance the rosemary garnish, gently clap it between your hands to release its aromatic oils.
• For a perfectly frothy top, shake the egg white thoroughly during the dry shake phase.
