Fine strainer
Kitchen torch
Add whiskey, Baileys, lime juice, simple syrup, and the egg to a shaker (no ice yet).
Dry shake for 20 seconds to fully mix and build foam.
Add ice and shake again until well chilled, about 10–12 seconds.
Strain into a chilled coupe glass.
Lightly sprinkle sugar on top in an even layer.
Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden and crisp.
Let it cool slightly, then serve.
Pro Tips
-
Use a light hand with the torch just enough to melt and caramelize the sugar without burning it.
-
Always dry shake egg drinks to get that smooth, silky texture.
-
Chill the glass ahead of time so the drink stays cool while you torch the top.
