  • 2 ounces Bourbon
  • 1 ounce fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • ¾ ounce simple syrup
  • 1 small egg, separated

Notes

You can make this drink without the egg white if you like
If you are unsure how to separate out an egg yolk, just follow these simple steps:
  • Crack fresh egg over a small bowl.
  • Grasp a half of egg shell in each hand and pour the egg yolk back and forth between egg shells letting the egg white separately fall into the dish.
In order for this drink to work, you must not get any yolk in the drink mixture.
