- 1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 ounce simple syrup
- 1 egg white

- Angostura bitters, for garnish (optional)
- Lime or lemon twist, for garnish
Instructions
- In a shaker (without ice), combine mezcal, lime juice, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white.
- Dry shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds to emulsify the egg white.
- Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well chilled.
- Strain into a chilled coupe or rocks glass.
- Garnish with a few drops of Angostura bitters and a citrus twist if desired. Serve immediately.
