Notes
Tips and variations
- Play with the flavors - Feel free to substitute pear brandy for another fruity variation, use a different shrub flavor, or replace the shrub with a flavored simple syrup.
- Instead of brandy - Replace it with whisky or gin.
- Vegan sour cocktails - Instead of making the sour with an egg white, replace it with 2 tablespoons of vegan-friendly aquafaba.
- The importance of a dry shake - Dry shaking is the action of shaking all of the cocktail ingredients together at room temperature. It’s an important step in egg white cocktails because it introduces air and emulsifies the egg white, producing the signature foam on top and a luscious mouthfeel.
