Ingredients
- 50ml Irish whiskey
- 25ml fresh lemon juice
- 15ml simple syrup (1:1 sugar and water)
- 1 fresh egg white (or 15ml aquafaba for a vegan alternative)
- Angostura bitters and a lemon twist (for garnish)
Method
- Add the Irish whiskey, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white to a cocktail shaker without ice.
- Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds (this 'dry shake' emulsifies the egg white to build a luxurious foam).
- Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker and shake again for another 10 seconds until frosty cold.
- Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled coupe or rocks glass over fresh ice.
- Dot the foam top with a few drops of Angostura bitters and express a lemon twist over the glass.
A smooth, elegant, and classic cocktail balancing the warmth of Irish whiskey with fresh tart citrus juice and a velvety, frothy foam top.
