Apple Blow Fizz

Pro tips

• Perform a dry shake (egg white + lemon + sugar + brandy, no ice) for 10–15 seconds to build foam before adding ice and shaking again.
• Use fresh lemon juice, not bottled, for bright acidity and proper balance against the brandy's sweetness.
• Strain into a coupe or cocktail glass and let the foam settle at the top for visual appeal and silky mouthfeel.
• Powdered sugar dissolves faster than granulated in the shaker; if substituting, shake longer to ensure it fully dissolves.

Substitutions

• Mr. Boston Apple Brandy → applejack or other quality apple brandy (similar proof and flavor profile)
• Powdered Sugar → 1 tsp simple syrup (reduces shaking time; adjust to taste)
• Egg White → 3 tablespoons aquafaba (chickpea liquid, vegan and pasteurized alternative)

Can I skip the raw egg white in this cocktail?

You can omit it, but you'll lose the signature silky texture and foam. Aquafaba (3 tablespoons) is a safe vegan substitute that produces similar results.

What type of apple brandy works best?

Mr. Boston Apple Brandy is traditional, but any quality apple brandy or applejack will work. Avoid low-proof versions if possible for better flavor.

Do I need to dry shake before adding ice?

Yes. Shake the egg white, lemon juice, sugar, and brandy without ice for 10–15 seconds first to emulsify, then add ice and shake again for chill and dilution.

Is this drink safe to drink with raw egg?

Use only pasteurized eggs or pasteurized liquid egg white to eliminate food safety risk.
