Oliveto Cocktail
The Oliveto Cocktail combines olive oil, lemon juice, simple syrup, Licor 43, gin, and a pasteurized egg white.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 2 ounces gin
- 1 ounce lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1/4 ounce Licor 43
- 1/2 ounce extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large egg white pasteurized
- 1/4 ounce simple syrup
- 2 medium ice cubes
Instructions
- To a cocktail shaker, add the gin, licor 43, olive oil, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white.
- "Dry shake" the ingredients for 30 seconds.
- To the shaker, add the 2 ice cubes and continue shaking vigorously until the ice is fully dissolved and you can no longer hear it clinking.
- Pour the contents from the shaker into a coupe, martini, or wine glass.
- Allow the foam to rise to the top and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you do not have Licor 43, you may substitute with another vanilla-flavored liqueur. Vanilla extract can also be used, in a pinch.
- When using egg whites in cocktails, it is important to do a "dry shake", which is a shake without ice, in order to create the frothy texture of the egg white. Once that is done, follow up with a second shake with ice as noted above.
- Extra virgin olive oil should be used for this recipe. I would advise against using other types of oils, however, feel free to experiment with flavor infused extra virgin olive oils.
