Creature Comforts

Start with these components prepared in advance: Scotch (chamomile-infused).

Begin by dry shaking the chamomile-infused Scotch, lemon juice, elderflower liqueur, honey syrup, bitters, and egg white without ice to emulsify the egg.

Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously until well-chilled.

Double strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail coupe to ensure a silky texture.

Garnish with aromatic drops or a spritz, using options like chamomile tea, Boker's, allspice dram, or others. Optionally, finish with a sprinkle of freshly grated lemon zest.
