Egg Yolk

Description:

Egg yolk gives thickness, fat, and a rich dessert-like texture. It appears in flips and festive drinks where the cocktail should feel almost custardy. Egg in a cocktail is about foam, viscosity, and silkiness. It softens the sharp edges of acid and alcohol, but demands freshness, confident shaking, and clean technique. When serving an egg drink to guests, use very fresh eggs or a pasteurized alternative. Practice the shake on a small batch first: the texture reveals mistakes immediately.
