Notes
Expert Tips from My Bar
Dry shake the egg white first (no ice) to get that perfect froth. Always use fresh citrus—bottled juice will flatten the flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve in a coupe with cranberries and an orange slice for a festive touch. Pair with a cheese board or salty snacks to balance the tart-sweet sip.
