Ingredients

• 2 ounces bourbon whiskey
• 1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 3/4 ounce simple syrup
• 1 egg white from a small to medium egg
• Ice
• 1 maraschino cherry

Instructions

Place the bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white in a cocktail shaker. Do not add ice yet.

Shake with ice for 7 to 10 seconds more to chill.

Strain the cocktail. Fit a Hawthorne strainer over the top of the shaker and pour the cocktail through a fine-mesh strainer into a coupe glass. This is referred to as a “double strain” and this method is used to catch any ice shards or pulp from the fresh-squeezed lemon juice.
