Instructions

  1. Step 1: Add 2 oz bourbon, 1 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.75 oz maple syrup, 1 large egg white, a pinch of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of ground nutmeg into a cocktail shaker without ice.
  2. Step 2: Shake vigorously for 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create a foamy texture.
  3. Step 3: Add ice cubes to fill the shaker halfway and shake again vigorously for 10 seconds until chilled.
  4. Step 4: Double strain through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled old fashioned glass over one large clear ice cube.
  5. Step 5: Garnish by dusting a small pinch of cinnamon on the foam surface and place a thin lemon twist curled on the rim.
