Ingredients
100 ml Bourbon
1 Tbsp (15 ml) simple syrup (1:1 ratio water-sugar, boiled)*
1 egg white*
2 maraschino cherries
2 half-moon orange slices
ice cubes
Method
Combine the Bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white in a shaker and shake vigorously for 30 seconds without ice (a dry shake), so that the egg white emulsifies. Then add the ice and shake vigorously for another 30 seconds until the drink is chilled correctly and blended.
Strain into a lowball glass filled with ice. Garnish with a maraschino cherry and a slice of orange.
* for a sugar-free version, use erythritol to make a 1:1 ratio sugar syrup.
** for a vegan version, omit the egg. Also, omit the dry shake step and simply shake with ice and serve.
