Servings: 1 cocktail

Equipment
- Vegetable peeler (for the lemon peel garnish)
- Knife and cutting board (for the lemon peel garnish, and if you are using the fresh juice)
- Citrus juicer (if you are using fresh lemon juice)
Ingredients
Garnish
- Lemon peel
Cocktail
- 2 ounces Aperol liqueur
- 1 ounce Gin (London Dry style works great)
- ¾ ounce Lemon juice
- ½ ounce Simple syrup
- 1 ounce Egg whites (I used pasteurized)
Instructions
- Use a paring knife to clean up the sides of your piece of lemon peel, and then make a slit in the middle of the peel to attach it to the glass. Set aside.
- Add the Aperol, gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker.
- Fill the shaker with ice and shake well about 15-20 times.
- Strain out the ice, collecting the liquid in the other side of your cocktail shaker (or in a separate glass, and then add it back to the shaker).
- Add in the egg whites.
- Seal the shaker without ice and do a dry shake for at least a minute. Or, you can use a milk foamer to froth up the mixture for a quick shortcut (but the bubbles won't be as smooth).
- Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into your chilled coupe glass.
- You can optionally squeeze a separate large lemon peel or add some drops of bitters to the top of the foam for extra aroma.
- Add the garnish to the rim of the glass, and serve.
Notes
- You can use Fee Foam, aquafaba or another vegan foamer in place of the egg whites if you prefer.
