Pro Tips
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
- The dry shake is essential for creating a rich, frothy texture with the egg white.
- Chill your glass in the freezer before preparing the cocktail to keep it cool longer.
- To express the oils from the lemon twist, twist it over the drink before garnishing.
