Drink of the Week: Oliveto Cocktail

This is one of my favorite drinks right now at Marvel Bar. Oliveto
2 oz. dry gin
1 oz. fresh lemon juice
1/4 oz. simple syrup (2:1 sugar:water)
1/4 oz. Licor 43 (available at most well-stocked liquor stores)
1/2 oz. full-bodied extra virgin olive oil (Hanson uses Almazara Perales from Spain)
1 fresh egg white
Ice cubes
Tools: shaker, strainer
Glass: rocks

Combine all ingredients, except ice, and shake hard to emulsify the egg white and olive oil. Add ice cubes, shake hard for 20 seconds and strain into a chilled glass.
