The Drinking Guide
White Lady in Satin
The Raconteur, fresh citrus and orange-peel oils beneath a soft aquafaba foam.
Ingredients
45 ml Sammy Piquant Raconteur
15 ml fresh lemon juice
15 ml fresh orange juice
10 ml Sammy Piquant agave, undiluted as supplied
15 ml aquafaba from a freshly opened can of unsalted chickpeas
One fresh orange-peel strip, approximately 2 g, with minimal white pith
Glassware: 200 ml broad-rimmed, gently angular coupe
Ice: Cubed ice for shaking; no serving ice
Garnish: One small orange-peel curl resting on the foam near the edge
Method
Preparation
Use freshly squeezed, strained orange juice. The juice-and-peel combination is the explicit homemade orange-liqueur alternative; do not add Cointreau or standard triple sec. Reserve a second small strip of orange peel for the garnish.
Make the cocktail
1. Chill a cocktail glass. Squeeze the orange peel over the shaker to release its oils, then add the peel and all five measured liquids.
2. Shake without ice for 12–15 seconds. Add cubed ice and shake for a further 8–10 seconds.
3. Double-strain into the glass, removing the peel and ice. Let the foam settle, then add the small orange curl.
