Ingredients

  • Bourbon (2 ounces)
  • Lemon juice (3/4 ounce, freshly squeezed)
  • Simple syrup (1/2 ounce)
  • Egg white (1)
  • Ice (as needed)
  • Orange slice (1, for garnish)
  • Cherry (1, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing your ingredients: squeeze fresh lemon juice and set aside.

  3. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds without ice to ensure that the egg white becomes frothy.
  4. Add ice to the shaker, then shake again for another 10-15 seconds until well chilled.
  5. Strain the cocktail into a chilled glass, preferably a coupe or rocks glass.
  6. Garnish with a cherry and an orange slice on the rim for a pop of color and flavor.
