Notes
- When using egg whites in cocktails, it is important to do a "dry shake" aka a shake without ice, in order to create the silky/foamy texture of the egg white. Once that texture is achieved you can add the ice.
- We used an Amarena cherry for the garnish. We buy ours from Trader Joe's, but if you cannot locate these, you can also use a Maraschino cherry.
- If you do not have bourbon, you can substitute with brandy.
