One for the more advanced cocktail maker and drinker. Made with the artichoke-based, herbal liqueur Cynar, this cocktail tests the palate with savory, nutty, and bitter tones. It has a heavier taste and texture than many fizz cocktails, so it is best served as an after-dinner digestif.
Egg white binds the ingredients and leaves the drink with a creamy texture.
1. Shake 1 fl oz (30ml) Cynar, 1 fl oz (30ml) lemon juice, 1/2 fl oz (15ml) orgeat, and 1 egg white over ice.
2. Strain, then shake again without ice to get a good foam.
3. Pour a splash of Champagne into the bottom of the wine glass, then fill slowly with the cocktail.
