History

Adapted from a recipe created in 2015 by Leigh Brown at Hernando's Hideaway in Warrington, Cheshire, England.

Review

Reminiscent of a French Martini without the pineapple juice but with the balancing lemon sourness and an even thicker creamy foamy head thanks to the addition of egg white.

I found it quite sweet, but a good showcase for the richness of the brandy.

Very nice. Made as an after dinner drink. Sweet but not overpowering. No need for dessert.

Made this with a whole egg and the added texture was amazing. Super balanced

I just ate the yolk raw in order to follow the recipe. Not something I often do. Wish I had read your comment before! I feel like a degenerate.

I applaud your commitment to cocktail making. I think I was drunk when the yolk slipped into my drink. Happy accident. Cheers
