Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place 2 sprigs of fresh thyme in a cocktail shaker and gently muddle for 10 seconds to release aromatics.
  2. Step 2: Add 2 oz reposado tequila, 1 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.75 oz simple syrup, and 1 egg white to the shaker without ice.
  3. Step 3: Dry shake vigorously for 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and thyme.
  4. Step 4: Fill the shaker with ice cubes to the brim and shake again for 15 seconds until chilled.
  5. Step 5: Double strain into a chilled coupe glass to remove thyme bits.
  6. Step 6: Express a lemon twist over the surface, rubbing oils along the rim, then rest it elegantly on the edge as garnish.
