Method

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients (Dry Shake)

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 60 ml of gin, 22.5 ml of fresh lemon juice, 15 ml of Cointreau, 7.5 ml of Crème de Violette, and 1 egg white. Secure the lid tightly and dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This emulsifies the egg white and creates a beautiful foam.

    The 'dry shake' is crucial for achieving a rich, stable foam. Don't skip this step!

  2. 2

    Add Ice and Wet Shake

    Now, add 1 cup of fresh ice to the shaker. Secure the lid again and wet shake vigorously for another 15-20 seconds, or until the shaker is thoroughly chilled. This chills and dilutes the cocktail to perfection.

    Use fresh, large ice cubes for shaking to minimize dilution and maximize chill.

    Timer: 1 mincocktail shaker
  3. 3

    Strain and Garnish

    Double strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or martini glass. The double strain (using a fine-mesh sieve in addition to your shaker's built-in strainer) ensures a smooth, frothy texture free of any ice shards or egg white bits. Garnish with a lemon twist or a delicate edible flower for an elegant presentation.

    Chilling your glass beforehand helps keep your cocktail colder for longer. Place it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the drink.

  4. 4

    Serve and Enjoy

    Serve your beautiful My Fair Lady Cocktail immediately and enjoy its sophisticated flavors and delightful aroma. This recipe makes 1 serving.

    For a non-alcoholic version, substitute gin with a non-alcoholic spirit, Cointreau with orange syrup, and Crème de Violette with violet syrup, omitting the egg white or using aquafaba for foam.
