Notes
Pro Tips
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best bright and tangy flavor.
- If using apricot brandy instead of apricot liqueur, the drink will have a slightly richer, deeper fruit note.
- Egg white creates a luxurious mouthfeel, but if you prefer a foam-free cocktail, simply omit it.
- Dry shake first (without ice) if using egg white, then shake again with ice for the best frothy texture.
- A flamed lemon twist can add a subtle caramelized citrus aroma for extra depth.
