Keyword: Christmas, Christmas cocktails, christmas tequila cocktails, egg white cocktails, Lemon, lemon cocktails, sour cocktails, tequila cocktails
Servings: 1
- 1.5 oz tequila
- 0.75 oz lemon juice
- 0.75 oz agave nectar
- 1 egg white
- Rosemary sprig cranberries, and lime wedge (for garnish)
Combine the tequila, lemon juice, agave nectar, and egg white in a cocktail shaker without ice.
Dry shake (shake without ice) vigorously for about 10 seconds to create a frothy texture.
Add ice to the shaker and shake again briefly, 2–3 times, until well-chilled.
Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with ice using a Hawthorne strainer. For an ultra-smooth finish, use a fine-mesh strainer as well.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary, a few cranberries, and a lime wedge for a festive touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Pro Tips
- Ensure your shaker is sealed tightly before the dry shake to avoid any spills.
- Use fresh citrus juice for the best flavor; bottled juice won't provide the same brightness.
- To enhance the rosemary garnish, gently clap it between your hands to release its aromatic oils.
- For a perfectly frothy top, shake the egg white thoroughly during the dry shake phase.
