Velvet Smoke

AI-generatedMediumCoupe

A brooding, silky sour that wraps bourbon's caramel warmth in campari's bittersweet fire and a cloud of egg-white foam.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 oz bourbon
  • 3/4 oz campari
  • 3/4 oz lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz demerara syrup
  • 1 oz egg white
  • 2 dashes angostura bitters

Method

  1. 11. Combine all ingredients in a shaker without ice and dry-shake for 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white.
  2. 22. Add a generous scoop of ice and shake again hard for another 15 seconds.
  3. 33. Double-strain into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass.
  4. 44. Allow the foam to settle and rise for 20 seconds.
  5. 55. Dot the foam with 2 dashes of Angostura bitters and drag a toothpick through them to create a pattern.

PRO TIP

The reverse dry-shake — shaking with ice first, straining, then dry-shaking again — produces an even denser, more stable foam than the traditional method.

Garnish — Angostura bitters pattern on foam
