Add ice and shake again until well chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with fresh raspberries.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Dry shake for exactly 30 seconds to properly emulsify the egg white proteins, creating stable foam through mechanical agitation without ice dilution compromising texture.technique30 seconds
- ✓Chill your coupe glass in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before serving to maintain the cocktail temperature at 28-32°F and prevent rapid foam collapse.equipment10-15 minutes, 28-32°F
- ✓Use a fine mesh strainer followed by a tea strainer (double strain) to remove all ice shards and foam impurities that would create an uneven texture.technique
- ✓Shake with ice for 10-12 seconds after the dry shake - any longer will over-dilute the cocktail beyond the optimal 20-25% water content for balanced flavor.timing10-12 seconds, 20-25% dilution
- ✓Express fresh raspberry oils over the foam by gently pressing the garnish berries - the volatile compounds will enhance the vanilla bean aromatics through complementary terpene interactions.technique
