Apple Blow Fizz

Pro tips

• Shake the egg white vigorously with ice for at least 10 seconds to achieve a dense, stable foam.
• Chill your glass before pouring to keep the drink cold and the foam intact longer.
• Add soda water last and gently to preserve the foam layer.
• Use fresh lemon juice—bottled will flatten the bright citrus character.

Substitutions

• Old Mr. Boston Apricot Nectar → apricot brandy or apricot liqueur (use 1.5 oz, adjust sweetness)
• Soda water → sparkling wine or dry champagne (for a drier, more elegant version)
• Powdered sugar → simple syrup (use 1/2 tsp to maintain balance)

What does an egg white in a cocktail do?

Egg white creates a silky, stable foam layer when shaken vigorously, adding texture and mouthfeel to the drink.

Can I skip the egg white for food safety?

Yes. Simply shake the other ingredients without it, though you'll lose the signature frothy texture.

How do I make a proper foam layer?

Shake hard for 10–15 seconds with ice to emulsify the egg white, then strain. The foam will form on top as the drink settles.

What if I can't find Old Mr. Boston Apricot Nectar?

Use any apricot brandy, apricot liqueur, or apricot juice as a substitute; adjust sweetness with the powdered sugar.

Is this drink sweet or sour?

Balanced—the lemon juice and powdered sugar are both present in equal measure, with apricot providing subtle fruit sweetness.
