What’s the reasoning behind egg whites in cocktails? Personally I can’t stand the smell and don’t think a cocktail needs a head on it, I just make my sours without. Just wondering how it came to be a thing?
@John Hinojos Yes, it's very hit or miss with aquafaba. I made a Bitter Lady (which does not call for dry shaking even) and the foam and texture were just like a fresh egg white's expected results. This drink was limp in comparison.
I can't use egg white due to health issues and do not like the texture of the aquafaba. We did buy a foaming agent (Fee Foam) from the same people who make Fee Bitters. It is a bit hard to find, but Amazon does carry. It give the foam of the drink. Not sure if it does anything for the texture.
