2 oz. Beefeater
3/4 oz. Lemon juice
3/4 oz. Simple syrup
1 Egg white
Club soda
Dry shake all ingredients (except Club soda), then shake again with ice. Double strain into a fizz glass and top with Club soda. No garnish.
So this was a little rough and I may be to blame. Everything started well. I dry shook for like two minutes (which feels like forever) and shook with ice for probably another minute. I took a first sip and was happy. But then I got called away to change a diaper (the joys of parenting). I think I did something else as well. Anyway, I came back to finish and by the end of the drink I was getting a little bit of the 'wet dog' smell you can get from an egg white cocktail. I've read a little bit about this. You've gotta drink egg white cocktails quick. Also, supposedly the little white fleshy part in the egg white is what makes it smell and you can remove it. Maybe I'll try that next time. Or just let the diaper wait.
