I always reverse shake. Dry shake doesn’t make a solid enough meringue for me. Tried dry shake and failed lol. I did get a line on one side of the glass, but also a big pink hole in the middle. It wasn’t sour or bitter enough for me either, but was indeed, very tasty. I like the transformation concept - imma keep at it.

A very nice drink...and pretty. I like it. More importantly, my wife and her friends like it for taste and beauty.

The "Thin Pink Line" and the "Improved Japanese Cocktail" are cousins from different cities. One born in London with egg white, the other in New York with Peychaud's Bitter - both nine years old. I better try them side by side on day soon.

Very clever - However I dont like having to wait 10 minutes for the thin line to appear. Personally I like to drink the cocktail cold. The amount of bitter was unpleasant for me.

Since I did not have orgeat on hand I replaced it with yellow chartreuse M.O.F.
Also very lovely.

Well I wasn’t expecting that!

Not your typical brandy cocktail - well worth trying.

Awesome cocktail every thing about it was just right. Loved the subtle almond orgeat interplay with the Peychaud's! Having tried all (?) the recipes calling for lots of Angostura, and thoroughly enjoying, was pleasantly suprised to find this one calls for two spoons of the bitters. Really works. I used a French XO brandy.

For presentation purposes it's pretty easy to simply scoop the bitters-stained foam off the top, so you get a nice clean white foam with the layer of pink underneath
