- 55 g Gin
- 30 g Limoncello
- 20 g Fresh lemon juice
- 14 g Simple syrup
- 1 pasteurized egg white (optional, for froth)

- Chill your coupe glasses in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
- Add the gin, limoncello, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white (if using) into a cocktail shaker.
- Perform a "dry shake" (without ice) for 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white.

- Double strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the chilled coupe glasses.
- Express the oils from a lemon peel over the drink and drop it in or discard.
