Method

How to make Conquistador

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Pre-chill one clear coupe and cut one short narrow lemon-zest twist for expressing and discarding after service.

  2. 02

    Measure 30 ml aged rum, 30 ml blanco tequila, 15 ml lemon juice, 15 ml lime juice, 15 ml rich syrup, 3.75 ml agave syrup, two dashes orange bitters, and 15 ml pasteurized egg white into a shaker.

  3. 03

    Add solid cold ice, seal securely, and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until very cold.

  4. 04

    Strain back into the empty shaker and dry-shake without ice for another 10 seconds to create a fine even foam.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled coupe and allow the compact white foam cap to settle.

  6. 06

    Express the lemon oils over the surface, discard the zest, and serve with no retained garnish.
