Ingredients
  

  • 2 ounces tequila
  • 0.5 ounces lemon juice
  • 0.5 ounces agave nectar
  • 2 dashes orange bitters
  • Garnish: Cocktail cherry (optional), egg white foam (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Add the tequila, lemon juice, agave nectar, and orange bitters into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously until the mixture is thoroughly chilled.
  • Strain the liquid into a serving glass. Garnish with a cocktail cherry, if desired. To elevate the drink, prepare a frothy egg white foam and carefully fold it into the drink, letting it settle on the surface for a creamy finish.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh lemon juice.
  • The egg white foam adds texture and visual appeal but is optional for those avoiding raw eggs.
  • Adjust the agave nectar to taste for a sweeter or more balanced sour cocktail.
