Description
It’s the world’s simplest, most classic cocktail recipe – booze, citrus, sugar – gilded in all the right ways with an emulsion of egg white and olive oil, and the result is spectacular.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz. gin
- 1/2 oz. orange liqueur (preferably something like Citronge or Cointreau – if using triple sec or something equally as sweet, reduce simple syrup to 1/4 oz.)
- 1 oz. lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract or paste
- 1/2 oz. simple syrup
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 oz. olive oil
- Ice
Instructions
- Combine gin, orange liqueur, lemon juice, vanilla, and simple syrup in a measuring cup or glass. Set aside.
- Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice, add egg white and olive oil. Shake heartily until fully emulsified, around 200 shakes (yes, really). Add the rest of the ingredients and shake until combined, about 10 seconds or so.
- Strain into a champagne flute or rocks glass and serve. As the cocktail settles the foam may separate out, and that’s okay.
