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
