Ingredients

22.5 ml 3/4 fl oz Crème de violette
30 ml 1 fl oz Fresh lemon juice
15 ml 1/2 fl oz Simple syrup
1 1 Egg white
Equipment
Cocktail shaker
Jigger
strainer
Citrus press
Bar spoon
Coupe or Martini glass
Instructions
- Start by placing your coupe or martini glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill it while you prepare the cocktail.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine gin, crème de violette, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and the egg white. Shake vigorously without ice for about 15 seconds. This step, known as a dry shake, helps to emulsify the egg white and create a frothy texture.
- Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for another 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled and frothy.
- Discard the ice from your glass, and using a fine strainer, pour the cocktail into the chilled glass. The fine strainer helps achieve a smooth, froth-topped finish.
- A small edible flower or a twist of lemon peel can be added for a beautiful presentation.
