Ingredients
2
oz
bourbon whiskey
1
egg white
3/4
oz
fresh lemon juice
3/4
oz
simple syrup
bitters for garnish
2 - 3 dashes
Instructions
Combine the whiskey, egg white, simple syrup and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker. Shake for about 30 seconds to froth the egg white.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake until very cold, about 30 more seconds.
Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a chilled coupe or rocks glass and garnish with a few dashes of bitters.
Notes
Use a pasteurized egg if you prefer.
Make it vegan by substituting 3/4 oz aquafaba (aka chickpea water) for the egg white.
