Aquafaba Instructions:
Aquafaba can be used in any cocktail recipe that calls for egg white. Here’s a basic approach to incorporating it into your drinks:
- Chill: Start with chilled unsalted aquafaba, as it froths better when cold.
- Mix: Add aquafaba to your cocktail shaker along with the other ingredients. For a standard frothy cocktail, use about 3 tablespoons of aquafaba.
- Dry Shake: First, shake the ingredients without ice to allow the aquafaba to emulsify and create foam.
- Wet Shake: Add ice to the shaker and shake again vigorously. This step chills the drink and enhances the froth created by the aquafaba.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the cocktail into your serving glass. You should have a beautifully frothy top layer, similar to what you’d achieve with egg whites.
