Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz Bourbon - your favorite good quality bourbon
  • ¼ cup Fresh Blueberries - ripe
  • 3 to 4 leaves Fresh Basil - torn and tossed in (optional for a refreshing variation)
  • ¼ oz Lemon Juice - fresh-squeezed
  • ¾ oz Simple Syrup
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Egg White

Instructions
 

  • Drop the fresh blueberries into the bottom of a cocktail shaker and muddle.  Muddle the blueberries, piercing through the skin until flesh and juices are released and berries are completely crushed.
  • Using a tablespoon, crack a fresh egg and measure out 1 tablespoon of fresh egg white. Splash this into the cocktail shaker with the muddled berries.
  • Splash in the fresh lemon to the same cocktail shaker.
  • Now splash in the simple syrup and the bourbon into the same cocktail shaker with blueberries and egg white.
  • Cover the cocktail shaker and dry shake (without adding any ice) for 15 to 30 seconds to build up body, froth, and foam.
  • Fill the cocktail shaker about halfway with fresh ice cubes, cover, and now shake again until cold, and chilled through.
  • Using a cocktail strainer, strain the cocktail into a coupe glass. Garnish with a fresh lemon slice and a few drops of Angostura bitters over the top.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy very cold.
