Not given much to go on with preparing the smoldering star anise, I held a star anise pod with a pair of metal tongs in the flame of my gas stove for a few seconds until it was flaming nicely. Turning off the stove, it remained smoldering and gave off a lovely aroma. Dropped it with a satisfying hiss into the foam of the cocktail. Side effect of making this cocktail is that it now smells like I just burnt incense in my kitchen, but I can’t complain!

Also omitted the simple syrup, which makes it more pleasing for my palate

Hello Mr. Difford; May I ask: is the omission of the dry shake (for a cocktail with egg white) a rare exeception or is it an error?

It would appear that the egg white is currently erroneously listed twice (including the health warning) in this recipe?

Many thanks for bringing this to my attention. My mistake when uploading the recipe. Now fixed.
