Notes

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.
