Technique: Egg Whites

Cocktails made with raw eggs are all the rage for courageous mixologists across the country.

 

TECHNIQUE: Egg Whites

Crack one egg, separating the whites from the yolk. Take a bar strainer and remove the spring (if you don’t have a strainer, use a cocktail fork). Pour egg white into the shaker. Pop the spring into the shaker, place shaker top on and shake vigorously until the egg white is whipped. The egg white will transform into foam that coats the glass.
