Reviews
Fabulous!
A delicious small drink; each serving totals 1-1/2 oz. of liquor. The cider reduction is enough for 8 batches. I think the reason for the smaller batches is that the egg whites really expand and fill the shaker, so it’s a matter of physics. nb: I used Fee Foam since it’s vegan and it worked very well.
Fantastic!
