PC Fizz

It's a couple nights later and my wife has fully recovered from the two drink Smashing Lady night. I go for the PC Fizz. I'm a little apprehensive about this one because it involves Pimm's and Yellow Chartreuse. I've never had either. We both takes sips of both liquors before mixing. Surprisingly, we like both of them individually. My wife declares that she will like this drink before I've so much as juiced a lime. Of course, at the time she doesn't know that it involves egg whites.

This has an interesting two stage technique. First we shake all the ingredients without ice, then again with ice. This, the recipe says, yields a "frothier crown." I top it with the soda water as suggested in the variation. We both like it, but are confident that it would be better without the soda water. I make a second batch and indeed it is better. It's a really good drink. I'm not really sure what the frothiness of the egg white really adds except "Elegance", so I'm ready to try it again without. However, tonight I'm already two drinks in, so it will have to wait.
