Print Recipe

Equipment

Ingredients

2 ounces tequila blanco (I used Altos)
1 ounces fresh squeezed grapefruit juice
½ ounces fresh-squeezed lime juice
½ ounces Campari
1 egg white* (or aquafaba)
cinnamon stick

Instructions

Prepare glass with a large rock (ice cube).
Add all ingredients to the cocktail shaker WITHOUT ice and dry shake for 8-10 seconds (this creates the foam on top).
Open the cocktail shaker and add a scoop of ice. Put the lid on the shaker and shake for another 10-15 seconds.
Double strain into your prepared glass. Take your cinnamon stick and grate cinnamon over the top of your foam. Cheers!

Notes

Another alternative to egg whites in a cocktail is aquafaba. Aquafaba is the liquid from garbanzo beans and works just like egg whites.

Substitute 1 ounce of aquafaba for the egg white and make the cocktail as directed. Aquafaba adds a tiny bit of saltiness, in my opinion, but you won't notice it in the final cocktail.

*The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) considers it safe to use raw eggs if they are pasteurized. Bottom Line: Raw eggs may contain a type of pathogenic bacteria called Salmonella, which can cause food poisoning. However, the risk of an egg being contaminated is quite low. Please proceed at your own risk and decide if you are ok with this. I have never had an issue.
