Instructions

  1. Step 1: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes to the brim. Add 2 oz bourbon, 1 oz fresh grapefruit juice, 3/4 oz simple syrup, and 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice.
  2. Step 2: Dry shake (without ice) for 10 seconds to emulsify the egg white. Add ice and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until the shaker frosts.
  3. Step 3: Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a grapefruit twist (expressed over the glass, then placed on the rim) and 2 drops of bitters on the foam.
