Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare honey-ginger syrup by combining equal parts honey and water with grated fresh ginger; strain before use.

  3. Step 3: Dry shake vigorously for 15 seconds without ice to emulsify the egg white.
  4. Step 4: Add ice to the shaker and shake again hard for 12 seconds until well chilled and frothy.
  5. Step 5: Double strain into a rocks glass over one large clear ice cube.
  6. Step 6: Garnish with a thin lemon twist expressed over the surface and rested on the rim alongside a candied ginger slice.
