Vancouver Cocktail

The 2010 Winter Olympics are wrapping up in Vancouver this weekend and this week’s drink celebrates the games well. The fair amount of Canadian whisky should help insulate you from the cold. Canadian whisky and maple syrup, this may work on pancakes as well. Let us know!

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ oz Canadian whisky
  • ¾ oz Dubonnet
  • ½ oz lemon juice
  • ½ tsp maple syrup
  • ½ egg white (powdered egg whites can be used if you are concerned about salmonella)
  • 3–4 dashes orange bitters

Instructions

Combine everything in the tin side of a Boston Shaker. Don’t add ice yet. Use a stick blender or a cappuccino frother get the eggs whites started. Blend lightly for about 20 seconds. Add a scoop of ice and shake well (20–30 seconds) and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. If you are brave, flame an orange peel into the drink to release the oils and float it.
