Add Aperol, gin, lemon juice, dry vermouth, grapefruit syrup, and egg white to a cocktail shaker.
Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds without ice to emulsify the egg white.
Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well chilled.
Double strain into a Collins glass over one large ice cube.
Pour 1 oz sparkling water into the empty shaker and swirl to collect the remaining foam.
Spoon the foam over the top of the drink.

Pro Tips
-
Dry shake first (without ice) to help the egg white froth properly.
-
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best balance.
-
Swirling sparkling water in the shaker helps lift all the remaining froth into the glass.
