Winter in L.A.

Winter in L.A.

This cocktail from the book Tropical Standard: Cocktail Techniques & Reinvented Recipes incorporates both an egg white and gum syrup for texture, and has a somewhat unusual preparation: dry flash blend, add ice and continue flash blending, then double-strain into your glassware. This results in a highly emulsified drink with a nitro-like texture. Many of the ingredients are slightly outside the typical tiki flavor profile, and the inclusion of mezcal and spiced cranberry bitters transports you to the drink’s namesake time and place.
