Notes
Simple syrup substitute: Maple syrup is our favorite substitute for simple syrup in a cocktail; it adds subtle caramel notes without tasting like maple.
Egg white substitute: For vegan, substitute 2 tablespoons aquafaba, the liquid from a can of chickpeas. Another popular egg white substitute for cocktails is this Fee Brothers Cocktail Foamer.
Foam tips: For maximum foam, make sure your egg is fresh and shake vigorously during the dry shake phase.
Gin recommendations: I like Beefeater and Malfy for their balanced botanical flavors. Avoid overly floral options like Tanqueray.
