This cocktail is both a challenge and a delight for the experienced palate, showcasing how simplicity can be a gateway to complexity. Served in a coupe glass, this drink features a harmonious blend of herb-infused vodka, citrus essence, and a touch of sweetness, all tied together with a sophisticated foam. *Ingredients*: - 2 oz thyme-infused vodka - 1 oz clarified lemon juice - 0.75 oz honey syrup (2 parts honey to 1 part water) - 1 egg white - 2 dashes of orange bitters - Lemon zest (for garnish) *Advanced Techniques*: 1. **Thyme-Infused Vodka**: Infuse a high-quality vodka with fresh thyme.

Heat lemon juice with a small amount of agar-agar until dissolved, let it cool, and then strain through a fine cloth to achieve a clear, clean-tasting lemon juice. 3. **Honey Syrup**: Mix 2 parts honey with 1 part hot water until fully dissolved. Let it cool before using. 4. **Egg White Foam**: To create a velvety foam, dry shake the egg white before adding the other ingredients. *Method*: 1.

Add ice and shake again until well-chilled. 4. Strain the mix into a chilled coupe glass. 5.
