Servings: 1
- 1.5 oz bourbon
- 0.75 oz pumpkin spice syrup
- 1 oz lemon juice
- 1 egg white
- 2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters
- Grated nutmeg for garnish
Add the bourbon, pumpkin spice syrup, lemon juice, and egg white to a cocktail shaker.
Without adding ice, shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to create a frothy texture (this is called a dry shake).
Add ice to the shaker and shake again for another 15 seconds to chill and further mix the ingredients.
Strain the cocktail into a coupe glass, using a fine mesh strainer if needed for extra smoothness.
Garnish with a few dashes of Peychaud’s bitters and a light sprinkle of grated nutmeg.
Pro Tips
- To ensure the egg white froths properly, use it fresh and shake hard during the dry shake step.
- For an alcohol-free option, swap the bourbon with apple cider and the bitters with cinnamon.
- Chill the glass in the freezer before serving to keep the cocktail at its ideal temperature.
