Method

1
Add the white rum, apricot liqueur, triple sec, and lemon juice to a shaker without ice.
2
Add the egg white and dry shake vigorously for 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and build foam.
3
Add a large scoop of ice to the shaker and shake hard for another 15 seconds until well chilled.
4
Fill an old-fashioned glass with fresh ice cubes.
5
Double-strain the cocktail through a fine-mesh strainer into the glass.
6
Garnish with an orange slice on the rim and serve immediately.

From the Bartender

The reverse dry-shake technique - shaking with egg white before adding ice - maximises foam volume and creates a denser, more stable head than shaking with ice from the start.

Frozen Daiquiri

Frosty and citrus-forward, with tart fresh lime and clean white rum melding into a refreshingly icy sweetness. The finish is crisp and bright, with a smooth slushy texture that coats the palate like a tropical snow cone.
