Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 90 ml Dark Rum; 45 ml Lime Juice; 22 ml Simple Syrup; Egg White; 4 dashes Angostura Bitters; Freshly Grated Nutmeg

The dry shake before adding ice is essential - it builds a stable, voluminous foam from the egg white without dilution; skipping this step will result in a flat, under-emulsified texture.

From the Bartender

The dry shake before adding ice is essential - it builds a stable, voluminous foam from the egg white without dilution; skipping this step will result in a flat, under-emulsified texture. A reverse dry shake (wet shake first, then dry shake without ice after straining) can produce an even silkier, more stable foam if preferred.
