Method
Cocktail
Prepare and dry-shake (if using egg white)
If using egg white: add bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup, bitters, and egg white to a cocktail shaker. Seal and dry-shake (no ice) vigorously for 15–20 seconds to emulsify and build foam.
Shake with ice
Add ice to the shaker (enough to fill about half to two-thirds). Seal and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and diluted slightly.
Strain
Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or rocks glass (use a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer if available) to remove ice shards and any solids from the egg white.
Garnish & Finish
Express the lemon twist over the drink by holding it skin-side down and giving it a firm twist to release oils, then rub the rim of the glass with the twist and drop it into the drink or hang it on the rim. Float a Luxardo or maraschino cherry on top. Optionally add one drop or two of Angostura bitters on the foam and lightly drag a toothpick through for a decorative pattern.
