I've just checked with our Cocktail Finder and, incredibly, your combination of four ingredients doesn't already exist. What do you call this new cocktail?
Throwing a Left Bank is a great call and not something I'd thought to do.
Photo does indeed look like its without egg white. I'll rephotograph, but I'll use Vegg White rather than egg white.
We had (and still have) some winning recipes from cocktail competitions (most notably Bacardi Legacy) where we used photography supplied by the brand. Due to their copyright, I ‘hard-coded’ the brand’s ingredients in such recipe. As I come across them, I am photographing these cocktails and switching the ingredients to fit in with our usual brands/generics.
The Dynasty Margarita was such a cocktail, and we replaced with our photography on 15/May/25. At the same time, I also changed the blanco tequila used in the recipe. However, I missed the second ingredient, which was Patron Citronge. Thanks to your bringing to my attention, I’ve now also switched this to triple sec and our sponsoring brands.
