Ingredients
60 ml 2 fl oz Scotch whiskey
22.5 ml 3/4 fl oz fresh lemon juice
15 ml 1/2 fl oz simple syrup
15 ml 1/2 fl oz egg white (about half an egg white)
Ice cubes
1 dash 1 dash Angostura bitters (Optional)
1 1 Lemon twist or cherry for garnish (Optional)
Equipment

Citrus press
Old Fashioned glass
Instructions
- Using a jigger, add Scotch whiskey, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, egg white and a dash of Angostura bitters and pour it into the shaker
- Shake the ingredients without ice for about 10 seconds to emulsify the egg white.
- Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, or until the mixture is well chilled.
- Use a strainer to pour the mixture into a Old Fashioned glass filled with fresh ice.
- Garnish with a lemon twist or a cherry if desired.
Notes
- If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can increase the amount of simple syrup slightly, but be cautious not to overpower the drink.
- If you’re concerned about using raw egg white, you can use pasteurized egg whites available in cartons at most grocery stores.
