This tangy-sweet cocktail gets its lofty, fluffy froth from egg whites and a two-step mixing technique. The first shake, without ice, helps create the foam. After adding ice, the second shake chills the drink and further aerates the whites. This recipe is from Honey's in NYC.

Preparation
Shake lime juice, mezcal, amaro, agave, and egg white in a cocktail shaker (or in a tightly lidded 1-qt. glass jar) until frothy, about 1 minute. Fill shaker with ice, cover, and shake again until outside is frosty, about 30 seconds. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a coupe glass. Garnish with a few drops of Angostura bitters (drag a toothpick through drops to create a swirly pattern if you wish). Top with lime twist.

Back to TopThis recipe is a nice place to start. I’ve since dialed back the lime juice to 1 oz, upped the mezcal to 2 oz, and subbed in Averna. Delish

Really enjoyed this. I'm new to the mezcal scene and was looking for new mixers for it. Bought the amaro montenegro just for this recipe. Now I need to find other mixers for the amaro.

Wonderful riff on a traditional sour. I used Amaro Nonino this time. Am looking forward to trying other Amaros.

Delicious. Used Amaro Siciliano because it was all I had but the drink was very tasty. Into the rotation it goes.
