Citrus Fizz, Created by Jaime Rios, Bartender, Top of the Standard & Tavern on the Green
This libation uses milk instead of heavy cream, which not makes it a lower calorie option, but the milk is soothing and the orange, lemon and lime flavors really shine through to make it the ultimate summer nightcap.
2 parts Ménage à Trois Citrus Vodka
1 part Milk
¾ parts Simple Syrup
1 part Lemon Juice
1 Egg White
3 drops orange flower water
Combine all ingredients into mixing tin and shake vigorously for three seconds without ice to emulsify the egg white. Add ice and shake for another 8-10 seconds. Strain into chilled coupe glass. Garnish with Angostura mist and orange zest.
