Instead of Ketel One, however, I took the opportunity to use Cardinal Sins’ Starka Barreled Vodka.
I’m going to have to remake it later with plain vodka so I can definitively say what it added.
Used gin, dialed down the elderflower to the same amount as the aperitivo (for which I used Cynar), and added about 3.5 ml of Malört to bump up the grapefruit flavor and add some indefinable intrigue.
Garnished with a nasturtium flower because it's summer and I have a lot of them :)
Anyway at 15ml egg white (about half of one) there should be a decent head on this but neither photo shows that. That looks more like natural aeration from a good shake.
I think I'd prefer it without the foamy top anyway so will probably leave it out but were the photos taken without egg white? Just curious.
