In a cocktail shaker without ice, combine the bourbon or aged rum, Floraluna Cardamom Clove Syrup, Floraluna Coffee Cocoa Peppercorn Bitters, and fresh lemon juice. Add the egg white if you're opting for that silky mouthfeel. 2. Dry shake (shake without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds. This emulsifies the egg white, if used, creating a frothy texture. 3. Add a generous amount of ice to the shaker and shake again vigorously until well-chilled. 4. Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass. 5. Gently top with a splash of club soda to create a slight fizz. 6. Garnish with a citrus peel and a light dusting of either ground cardamom or cocoa powder to accentuate the drink's spice profile.
