Add the egg white to mixing glass and shake for 10 seconds without ice or any other ingredients. This will help you to create a nice light foam. Once you’ve agitated the egg white, fill your mixing glass with ice and the remaining ingredients. Shake vigorously for a full 30 seconds. Once shaken, double strain into a sour glass and garnish with fresh Meyer lemon zest.
