Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare (if making cordial from scratch)

If you do not have pre-made lemongrass-lime cordial, make a quick cordial by simmering 1/2 cup water with 1/2 cup sugar until dissolved, add 2 stalks bruised lemongrass and the zest/juice of 2 limes, cool and strain. Use chilled; recipe above yields ~8 ounces.

2

Chill a coupe or rocks glass by filling it with ice water while you mix the cocktail.

3

Add the coconut gin, guava purée, lemongrass-lime cordial, fresh lime juice and simple syrup (if using) into a cocktail shaker.

4

If using egg white for a silkier texture, add the egg white now. Perform a dry shake (no ice) vigorously for 12–15 seconds to emulsify and create foam.

5

Add a good scoop of ice to the shaker (about 1 cup) and shake hard for 12–18 seconds until well chilled.

6

Discard ice/water from the chilled glass and double-strain the cocktail into the glass (use a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer) to remove ice shards and any pulp for a smooth presentation.

Garnish & Finish

7

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. If you used egg white, place a small sprig of lemongrass or herb on the foam and lightly express its oils over the drink by giving it a gentle clap near the surface.

8

Optionally float a dehydrated guava slice or a pinch of lime zest on the foam for aroma and visual appeal.

9

Serve immediately.
