TOOLS

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 ounces rye whiskey or bourbon
  • 3/4 ounce vanilla liqueur
  • 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 ounce egg white

Direction

  1. Combine all ingredients except for the sparkling water in the cocktail shaker.
  2. Dry shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds without ice.
  3. Add ice and shake again for an additional 10-15 seconds.
  4. Double-strain (using both the Hawthorne and fine-mesh strainer) the shaker contents over the chilled cocktail glass.
  5. Top with half of the sparkling water and stir to build up a good fizz. Wait a moment for it to subside, then top with the remaining sparkling water.
