This is a cocktail with a rich silky texture thanks to the cream and egg white. A classic that everyone should try... yet many people shy away from it. Some because of the uncooked egg white - to that we say PFFT! Others are intimidated by the lengthy shake they think it requires; yeah not really. The key is to shake twice; one dry shake with the spring from a Hawthorne strainer - this gets the cocktail really frothy, really quickly. Then a traditional wet shake with ice to cool it down and continue frothing. Even if this cocktail takes extra time and effort; it's worth it. Quality can't be rushed, so take your time and enjoy.
