In a shaker, muddle the 3 strawberries thoroughly to release their juice and flavor.
Mix the Ingredients:
Add the tequila, orange juice, lemon juice, simple syrup, and a dash of bitters to the shaker with the muddled strawberries.
Add the egg white last. The egg white is used to create a frothy texture and should be handled with care.
Dry Shake:
First, perform a dry shake (shaking without ice) for about 15 seconds. This is important to help the egg white emulsify with the other ingredients and become frothy.
Add Ice and Shake Again:
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for another 15-20 seconds. This second shake with ice chills the mixture and enhances the frothiness of the egg white.
Strain and Serve:
Strain the cocktail into a chilled glass. Double straining (through a fine mesh strainer) is recommended to ensure a smooth texture, removing any bits of strawberry or ice.
Garnish and Enjoy:
Garnish with a fresh strawberry or a small skewer of strawberries on the rim of the glass.
Optionally, you can add a small sprig of mint for an extra touch of color and freshness.
