My favorite cocktail
First time I had this was at the Commodore Hotel in St. Paul, MN. Probably my favorite cocktail. I believe they used an egg white in theirs. Followed these instructions tho.. perfect cocktail.

Tweaked it
Great drink as is, but I used Dale Degroff's pimento bitters (careful it's strong) and muddled 2 basil leaves into it and it was even better.
