2oz Whiskey
.75oz Lemon Juice
.5-.75oz Simple Syrup
Egg White
Angostura Bitters
Combine whiskey, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white in a cocktail tin and shake without ice (a dry shake). Add ice and shake again. Double strain into a coup and top with a few drops of bitters.
If you're using a sweeter whiskey, like a wheated bourbon, I'd use .5oz simple syrup. Where a spicy rye could do well with the full .75oz of simple.
I break the egg white into the other half of a tin, so if I screw up and get egg yolk in there I can just toss the egg without costing a couple ounces of whiskey. Don't worry about getting all of the egg white either. You want about 1oz.
