Instructions

Delight your palate with the Velvet Aperitivo, a sophisticated and soft-textured pre-meal cocktail that marries the bitter notes of Campari with the smooth embrace of egg white and honey. This drink provides a unique balance of flavors that prepare the taste buds for an exquisite dining experience. Ingredients: - 1 oz Campari - 1 oz Gin (preferably a smoother, botanical type) - 1 oz Fresh lemon juice - 0.5 oz Honey syrup (equal parts honey and warm water mixed until honey dissolves) - 1 Egg white (from a fresh egg or pasteurized egg white product) - A small pinch of fine sea salt - Ice cubes - Club soda (optional, for a lighter texture) - Lemon twist and fresh herb sprig (such as rosemary or thyme), for garnish Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the Campari, gin, lemon juice, honey syrup, and egg white. 2. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to allow the egg white to emulsify and create a silky froth. 3. Add a small pinch of fine sea salt to enhance the flavors. 4. Fill the shaker with ice and shake again until well-chilled, about 10 seconds. 5. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass to ensure a smooth texture without ice shards or pulp. 6. Optional: top with a splash of club soda for a lighter, effervescent texture. 7. Garnish with a lemon twist and a fresh herb sprig to add aroma and a hint of color to the presentation. The Velvet Aperitivo is best served in a chilled coupe glass which not only exhibits the cocktail's elegant froth but also concentrates the aromatics for an immediately engaging experience upon the first sip. The combination of the honey's sweetness, the Campari's bitterness, and the creaminess of the shaken egg white creates a harmonious prelude to any meal.
