Any tips for getting the most out of these foam bitters? With 'real' egg whites (or egg white powder), I can get a really significant foam head with a reverse dry shake — especially if I add the egg or egg white for the second iceless shake. But doing the same with these bitters doesn't get quite the same amount of foam. Any tips very much appreciated!

Egg white powder? Interesting. Is that a good substitute for fresh egg white?

Yes, it foams up a lot. I'm using the Dr Oetker one which is like £1.20 for 4 sachets.

A reverse dry shake also seems to benefit this foamer, but (as with egg) add to the shaker with other ingredients rather than just for the second shake. The foam produced is good and lasting, although perhaps not as thick as can be achieved with fresh egg white.
