Expert Tips
Egg White Technique
For the silkiest foam, use the "dry shake" method: shake without ice first to emulsify the egg white, then add ice and shake again. This creates a luxurious, creamy texture.
Dairy Tip
When using cream or milk, shake vigorously with ice to properly emulsify and chill. Consider using heavy cream for a richer texture that floats beautifully on layered drinks.
Sweetener Tip
Make your own simple syrup by dissolving equal parts sugar and hot water. It mixes more smoothly than granulated sugar and allows precise sweetness control.
