Ingredients
- 2 oz Lobos Joven Tequila
- 1/3 oz Grand Marnier
- 1/3 oz Lime juice Freshly squeezed
- 1/3 oz Agave syrup
- 2 drops Oaxacan chocolate bitters
- 3/4 whole Egg white
- 1 pinch Chapuline salt mix
Instructions
- Separate egg whites from yolks in advance. You'll need between 1/2 to 3/4 of the egg white per cocktail you're making. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Add tequila, Grand Marnier, lime juice, agave syrup, bitters, and egg white to a cocktail shaker, in this order.
- Dry shake (no ice) for about 30 seconds.
- Fill your shaker 2/3 with ice and shake for another 30 seconds.
- Double strain into a coupe glass.
- Add a pinch or two of the chapuline salt mix over the top of the egg white and express a lime peel.
Notes
Shaking should be done extremely vigorously - this should feel like a workout to you. Dry shaking first will help agitate the egg whites and create more texture.
Double straining will help keep ice bits out of your finished cocktail and create a more refined, smooth egg white on top.
The reason for expressing the lime peel over the finished cocktail is to hide the smell of egg - for some people, it can be overwhelming and take away from the experience.
