Provided by Chef John

Time 30m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup white sugar
¼ cup water
2 fluid ounces 100-proof bourbon whiskey
1 fluid ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
4 drops orange bitters, or more to taste
1 large egg white
ice cubes as needed

Steps:

Bring sugar and water to a simmer in a small pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Turn off heat, transfer to a bowl, and let syrup cool completely before using, 15 to 20 minutes.
Pour 3/4 fluid ounce simple syrup, bourbon, lemon juice, bitters, and egg white into a large cocktail shaker. Cover with a smaller cocktail shaker, or top, and give the cocktail a "dry shake" without ice, about 30 seconds.
Add 3 ice cubes to the mixture, cover, and shake vigorously until the shaker is very cold and the outside is frosty, about 45 seconds. Uncover and strain into a rocks glass containing one large ice cube. Serve immediately.
