Young Man's Delight

Serve in a Highball (max 10oz/300ml)

Ingredients:

[edit]

2 oz	Patrón Silver blanco tequila
1⁄2 oz	Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
1⁄3 oz	Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
2⁄3 oz	Egg white (pasteurised) or Aquafaba (chickpea water) or 3 dashes Fee Brothers Fee Foam cocktail foamer
3 1⁄2 oz	Thomas Henry Ginger Ale

How to make:

1. Select and pre-chill a Highball (max 10oz/300ml) glass.
2. Prepare garnish of Lemon zest twist and quarter orange slice wheel.
3. SHAKE first 4 ingredients with ice and strain back into shaker.
4. DRY SHAKE (without ice) to emulsify.
5. 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.)
6. 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.
7. POUR the final contents of the shaker into the glass. As you do so, the head should rise like a souffle.
8. Express lemon zest twist over the cocktail and discard.
9. Garnish with quarter orange slice on rim.
