[@aenamabag]

1:35 you should actually add all the ingredients, shake it a little without the ice in there to get that egg white emulsified, then add the ice and shake it again. You'll get a much nicer foam.

[@wubanger]

Also double strain it and pour it in a pre-chilled coupe glass 🍸or any other cocktail glassware. Save the coconut for something else .😉 The ingredients are legit and the recipe itself is fine, however. Big plus for using Peruvian Pisco Quebranta. 👏👏

Yes! And Sandra Lee is doing well after her cancer bouts and recent hysterectomy.

[@frankie9736]

Frozen pina coladas. I make them any time there's a party at my place. I just freeze tinned pineapple in advance then whizz it up in a blender with lime, coconut cream and rum. Or I make 2 batches and leave the rum out of one so kids can have it too and I find they like sharing the same stuff as the adults. So easy, not super pricey either, the coconut cream can be but overall a pitcher last time using the expensive coconut cream cost maybe £10 including the alcohol (and there was A LOT of alcohol in there). Never fails to get sooo many compliments. and I don't particularly pay attention to measurements just play it by ear.

[@leavizzone1377]

Happened to have all the ingredients in my fridge to make Zaynab’s . Even the pink lady apple kombucha that she’s using I’ve now had 3 this evening . Soooooooo good. Can’t recommend enough. I put vodka in it.😏 My new fav cocktail

You need to add ice to the glass/coconut and should strain the pisco sour. Also dry shaking before the ice shake would be a good idea for the foam!

Hey DeVonn, you have to shake the Egg White without the ice and adding it after the first dry shake to the shaker ;)

[@thatdudebro]

no, actually. although it may make it a little more frothy it is by no means necessary.

[@MrZane777]

You can reverse mime shake and get just as much if not more foam.

[@mmarksz86]

@@thatdudebro Maybe, but shaker had two cocktails worth of liquid plus ice. Didn't leave much room for good mixing. Dry shake or reverse dry shake was probably needed for the best outcome here.

isn't using a straw on a rimmed cocktail a bit silly? Same for that coconut drink - he put effort into making a drink with a nice frothy head and then put it in a vessel that is impossible to drink out of without a straw!

[@Jazminzesati]

I like to have a straw sometimes and lick some of the rim when i feel like it, but yeah its kind of unnecessary when there are not solids

[@rockchalk4life13]

Ok DeVonn, I see you in that Harry Styles Bode number

[@andrescabrera8006]

Though all of these cockltails look & sound great, the only one who did everything right was the 2nd chef. The one who made the Kombucha mocktail. Proper technique, measured out ingredients, proper garnishes, presentation, & proper knowledge. Again the others weren't bad. It would just be cool too see more real bartenders with a platform to do this right.

[@Pickykneevap]

Someone tell DeVonn to please shake your egg white drinks without ice first!

You have to shake egg whites without ice first before shaking with ice.

You can do a reverse mime shake just don’t build a cocktail over ice you can’t control dilution as much.

It’s not just about dilution, that first shake is important to get rid of bacteria

Put two big jiggers (60ml) of vodka and one (30ml) of Amaretto in to a pint glass, fill the glass to 3/5 with two fruit juices of choice and then top up with lemonade Probably better scaled up as a punch or scaled down to a smaller glass.
