This is my new favorite Holiday cocktail! Elegant, smooth, and festive. Called the Filibuster, this maple-sweetened rye cocktail was created by Erik Adkins of Heaven's Dog and the Slanted Door in San Francisco, and appears in Left Coast Libations, which is an excellent collection of cocktail recipes from West coast bartenders. If you tend to like cocktails from the family of Sours, this one will be right up your alley. Not too sweet, not to sour, naughty but nice! Yum!
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 ounces rye whiskey (e.g. Old Overholt)
- 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lemon
- 1/2 ounce maple syrup
- 1 very fresh egg white
- Angostura bitters
Method
- Add rye, lemon, maple syrup, and egg white to a cocktail shaker.
- Dry shake (without ice) for 20 seconds to emulsify egg.
- Add ice and shake hard for 10 seconds, until chilled.
- Strain into coupe, garnish with Angostura bitters, serve immediately.
