Young Man's Delight
Ingredients
- 2 oz Patrón Silver blanco tequila
- 1⁄2 oz Orange juice
- 1⁄3 oz Lemon juice
- 2⁄3 oz Egg white (pasteurised) or 3 dashes Fee Brothers Fee Foam cocktail foamer
- 3 1⁄2 oz Ginger ale
Method
Glassware:
Serve in a Highball (max 10oz/300ml)
Prepare:
- Select and pre-chill a HIGHBALL (MAX 10OZ/300ML) GLASS.
- Prepare garnish of Lemon zest twist and quarter orange slice wheel.
Method:
- SHAKE first 4 ingredients with ice and strain back into shaker.
- DRY SHAKE (without ice) to emulsify.
- SLOWLY POUR two-thirds of the shaker's contents from a higher-than-normal height into a chilled empty glass (no ice in the glass) while simultaneously pouring ginger beer with your other hand. (The cocktail and ginger ale should form a single stream of liquid falling into the glass.)
- As when pouring a Guinness, to achieve a perfect head, LEAVE TO SETTLE for at least a minute. Ideally, during this settling period, the glass should be placed in a freezer/glass-froster/fridge.
- POUR the final contents of the shaker into the glass. As you do so, the head should rise like a souffle.
Garnish:
- EXPRESS lemon zest twist over the cocktail and discard.
- Garnish with quarter orange slice on rim.
