Enjoy as an aperitif before seafood like sole meunière or lobster bisque, or with candied ginger and dark chocolate—the luxurious egg white foam and Grand Marnier pair beautifully with delicate or intensely sweet flavors.

Dry shake vigorously for 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white
Add ice and shake again for 12 seconds
Double strain into a chilled coupe glass

Tips
From Harry Craddock's 1930 "The Savoy Cocktail Book" The dry shake is critical — it creates the signature silky foam cap Use real pomegranate grenadine to keep the sweetness refined, not cloying
