From the Bartender

For the best result, use a reverse dry shake: shake with ice first, then strain out the ice and shake again without it - this produces a tighter, more stable foam from the egg white. Always use fresh-squeezed lemon juice; bottled juice will flatten the cocktail's bright citrus character.
