Egg

Eggs in cocktails sound weird until you try a Whiskey Sour with egg white — that silky foam on top changes everything. The white adds body and a gorgeous frothy texture without any eggy taste. A Pisco Sour, Clover Club, and Ramos Gin Fizz all depend on it. You need to “dry shake” first (without ice) to emulsify the white, then shake again with ice to chill. Whole eggs go into drinks like eggnog and a Flip. Fresh eggs from a trusted source are important here for safety. Aquafaba — the liquid from canned chickpeas — works as a vegan substitute.
