Rattlesnake

Unlike its reptile namesake, the Rattlesnake cocktail gives you very little warning.
Servings: 1 Cocktail

Equipment

  • 1 Cocktail Glass
  • 1 Cocktail Shaker
  • 1 Bar Spoon

Ingredients

  • ounces Bourbon
  • ½ ounce Simple Syrup
  • ½ ounce Lemon Juice
  • 1 bar spoon Absinthe
  • 1 Egg White

Instructions

  • Place a Cocktail glass into the freezer to chill.
  • Meanwhile in a cocktail shaker, add 1½ ounces of Bourbon, ½ ounce of simple syrup, ½ ounce of Lemon juice, 1 bar spoon of Absinthe, and an egg white.
  • Dry shake until the mixture starts to get frothy.
  • Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well chilled.
  • Take the Cocktail glass out of the freezer and rinse with a bit of absinthe and then discard.
  • Strain the mixture into the rinsed Cocktail glass.

Notes

  • Not feeling raw eggs? If whole eggs aren’t your thing, but you’re still dying for that frothy texture, try using aquafaba instead. Aquafaba is the juice from cooked chickpeas or the liquid gold found inside a can of chickpeas. Simply dry shake the aquafaba until it’s whipped up and resembles frothed egg whites.
