How to make it
Shake the measured ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled glass.
Glass: Cocktail glass. Ice: None in serving glass. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh ground nutmeg.
Flavor & balance
- Boozy (Spirit-Forward) (dominant): Little nonalcoholic lengthening leaves the spirit or fortified ingredients prominent after chilling and dilution.
Assess sweetness, bitterness and tactile drying separately. These flavor expectations are based on recipe structure, not measured tasting scores. Actual products, ice and dilution will change the result.
Preparation & batching
Service complexity: high. Batchability: spirit components only.
- Measure and label the chosen product specification; chill appropriate glassware.
- Use pasteurized egg ingredients and follow the approved cold-holding and allergen procedure; alcohol is not a sanitizing step.
Finish aeration and texture to order; do not infer a safe storage period from the alcohol content. Workload is an editorial assessment; no labor timing or storage validation is claimed.
Ingredient checks: Egg: present; use pasteurized ingredients under the bar’s approved procedure. These checks are not a complete allergen declaration for every brand or garnish.
