How to Make a Cocktail With Egg White

How to Make a Cocktail With Egg White

Posted on: March 23rd 2018

How to Make a Cocktail with Egg White

If you’re a fan of fizzes, flips and sassy sours, you know the quintessential cocktail requires practice, patience and the perfect balance of blended flavor. And as tastes become braver and recipes become bolder, cocktails can consist of ingredients more deliciously daring than ever. Bacon and barbeque, you say? Beet puree? Squash?

As strange as some of these additions may seem, many drink-lovers and bartenders balk at the inclusion of an ingredient that’s been around for ages: eggs. We know it might sound unusual to imagine gulping down raw whites with your whiskey, but eggs have been a key part of classic cocktails since the golden drinking days in the early 1900s. And since then, they’ve been incorporated into dozens of oft-ordered drinks. Eggnog, anyone?

If we’ve sparked your attention, you’re probably wondering whether there’s anything to all this egg excitement. Are cocktails with egg whites good? Are they safe? More importantly, how should you go about making a cocktail with eggs? From mixing method to safety to classic and quirky cocktail recipes, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about adding egg white to your drinks.

Why Add Egg White to Cocktails?

So what’s all the hype about and why can egg whites be an excellent addition to your cocktail creations? Believe it or not, the answer lies not in the flavor, but in the froth. Much like the milk foam on cappuccinos in the coffee world, egg whites add luscious, fluffy foam atop your cocktail. They also contribute to a rich, creamy body so every sip is smooth and silky.

Fluffy Egg White Foam on Cocktails

This reaction occurs because the egg’s main protein, ovalbumin, unravels when you mix, beat or shake an egg. As it unwinds, the ovalbumin traps air into its folds, becoming fluffy and frothy. Like whipping eggs into a meringue, shaking egg white in your cocktail gives it an immediate foamy quality, enhancing its texture without affecting its taste.

 

How to Add Egg Whites to a Cocktail

Now that you know why you should mix in that meringue-like substance to add silky smoothness to your cocktail, you might want to know the best way to formulate flips, fizzes and fun-flavored drinks that feature egg whites. So how should you incorporate egg whites for the creamiest cocktails? Here’s how to handle your egg white additions:

 

  1. Separate Safely

In cocktails that use only egg whites, you’ll need to separate the white from the yolk. You can go about this in a few different ways, but keep a few details in mind before you begin.

First, your hands should always be extremely clean. Your fingers are likely to come into contact with the shell, white or yolk when cracking the egg, so it’s important to prevent germs or bacteria from entering the cocktail. When choosing the right egg, remember to pick fresh, well-refrigerated specimens. Fresher eggs have thicker membranes between the yolk and egg white. Also, it’s easier to separate cold eggs because their yolks are firmer, making them less likely to break.

Begin your separation by cracking the egg gently against a flat, smooth surface to ensure no eggshell slips into the egg. You can crack the egg cleanly in half and carefully switch the yolk back and forth between the two shell halves, letting the egg white ooze out into the measuring cup, bowl or container you’re using. While this is a common method for removing the yolk, it can pose a small risk of health hazards, because any bacteria present on the shell will come into contact with the egg white.

If you’re feeling adventurous, use your hands to sift the yolk from the egg white or, for a better chance of avoiding bacteria altogether, you can utilize different utensils. Crack the egg through a slotted spoon and let the egg white run through while the yolk sits on top. Use a small funnel that will hold the yolk while the egg white drains or let an egg separator do the work for you. You can also pour the entirety of the egg into a bowl and scoop the yolk out with a teaspoon, making sure not to leave any yolk traces.

 

  1. Shake It Up

The key to forming the perfect froth is being sure to shake the mixture correctly. Integrating the egg with the rest of the cocktail ingredients and completely unwinding the egg proteins requires a decent amount of elbow work and at least a minute of hard shaking.

Perfect Froth Mixture

For the best results, combine the egg white with the other ingredients in a shaker without ice and give the mixture a long “dry shake” to activate the chemical process of the proteins. After about 30 seconds of vigorous shaking, the drink should appear velvety with foam. Add the ice in and shake a second round to dilute and chill. If your arms hurt when you’re finished, it means you’ve done it right.

 

  1. Sift or Strain

We know you shook your shaker as hard as you could, but there’s always a small chance of leftover egg white remains that didn’t whip completely. To avoid encountering any gooey strands of escaped egg white when sipping your cocktail, sift the drink through a strainer as you pour from shaker to glass.

If you’re brave and love even richer flavor, try these recipes that use eggs in different ways than just the whites:

  1. Tom and Jerry

If you’re craving the warm, wintery undertones of a drink as sweet and frothy as your favorite latte, sample the cognac and rum delight of this spiced cocktail. Served hot, the Tom and Jerry is perfect for parties — especially holiday gatherings. The preparation might be more complicated than other cocktails, but the result is well worth it. Reward yourself with this recipe:

  • Ingredients: 12 separated eggs, 1 tsp cream of tartar, 1 stick softened butter, 1 cup sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp cloves, 1 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 3 oz. rum, 1 oz. cognac, 4 oz. hot milk, ground nutmeg garnish.
  • Directions: Because this drink requires you to prepare a batter first, it’s best to prepare in bulk. To begin, separate the egg whites from yolks and place them each in different bowls, then add cream of tartar to the whites and whip until fluffy like meringue. Add the sugar and butter to the egg yolks and mix until smooth and liquid, then combine the egg white and egg yolk mixtures and add the spices. Cover and refrigerate the batter until it’s time to make your individual drinks.

To make each cocktail, pre-heat your mugs and heat up the milk, making sure it doesn’t boil. Add a teaspoon of batter and 1 oz. rum and cognac to each cup, then fill with the hot milk, stir until the substance is frothy and add a pinch of nutmeg on top. If you like brandy better than cognac, you can substitute.

Eggnogs Galore

Eggnog could be one of your Christmas favorites, or maybe it’s one of those drinks you’ve always been a bit too scared to try because, as its name hints, it uses egg as its key ingredient and not just egg white. Eggnog is defined by its unique incorporation of both egg and milk or cream, making the cocktail silky, thick and creamy with a touch of eggy flavor.

For nogs with added interest for your taste buds, try these unique variations on the classic Christmas drink:

  • Ingredients: 1 oz. brandy, whiskey or rum, 1 ¼ oz. milk, 1 egg yolk, ½ oz. simple syrup, nutmeg or cinnamon garnish.
  • Directions: Combine the milk, simple syrup, egg and alcohol in a cocktail shaker. Dry shake without the ice, then give the mixture a good second shake with ice for half a minute. Strain into your favorite cocktail glass and add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg as a grated garnish. Enjoy!

 

  1. Texas Farm Nog

Packing a punch with layered spices and a fresh, farmy feel, this twist on traditional eggnog incorporates the rich, nutty flavors of sherry and aged tequila along with raw milk and fresh eggs.

  • Ingredients: 2 whole organic eggs, 6 oz. raw milk, 4 oz. heavy cream, 2 ½ oz. nutty sherry, 2 oz. tequila, 3 oz. sugar, pinch of cinnamon, pinch of nutmeg, pinch of salt, pinch of pepper, nutmeg garnish, star anise garnish.
  • Directions: Beginning with the eggs and finishing with the heavy cream, add all ingredients except the garnishes to a blender and mix until smooth. Refrigerate the drink for two days for the best taste and serve garnished with star anise and grated nutmeg for a refreshing feel.

Is Adding Eggs to a Cocktail Safe?

With all the stories of foodborne illness floating around and the especially bad rep assigned to the consumption of raw eggs, you might be a bit concerned about the safety of sipping them in a cocktail. Will you get sick if there are egg whites in your drink? Almost certainly not.

Despite the widespread misconception that you can catch Salmonella from any uncooked egg, only one in 20,000 eggs is actually contaminated. With FDA standards and cleaning regulations in place, the chance of salmonella making its way into sold eggs is so minimal that even in salmonella-infected flocks, fewer than one percent of resulting eggs carry the bacteria.

Only 1 in 20,000 Eggs contains Signs of Salmonella

Although you can usually trust store-bought eggs to be safe and healthy, bacteria can always be a possibility — especially if the eggs aren’t kept fresh. To make sure you’re picking, storing and handling your eggs in the best way to minimize health risks and craft the yummiest cocktail without cause for concern, follow these safety tips:

  • Choose Wisely: When shopping for eggs, always purchase refrigerated cartons only. Check the container for an expiration date to make sure you’re choosing the freshest pack and look for a USDA stamp to verify health inspection. Before heading off to the checkout counter, open the carton and inspect the shells for any damage or cracks.
  • Store Safely: To make sure your eggs stay as fresh as possible, refrigerate them right away, preferably in the coldest corner of the fridge at 45 degrees or lower. Try not to keep your carton in the door — the constant opening and closing of the fridge will make the temperature there less stable and the freshness of the eggs less likely to last. You should also keep the eggs in their original container.
  • Don’t Take Chances: When it comes to preserving freshness, three weeks of storage is the USDA-recommended timeframe for keeping eggs. If you come across an egg with cracks, bad spots or a cloudy or abnormal appearance when cracked, don’t serve it in your drink. When you’re not sure whether an egg is fresh enough, it’s best to be safe and toss it.
