Cocktail Challenge: egg white
Adolfo Calderon of Public House whips up a fairy-tale cocktail

Putting the finishing touches on Adolgo Calderon's Snow White cocktail
"Girly looking," said Adolfo Calderon of Public House when asked to describe his cocktail. Challenged with egg white by his fellow bartender, Monica Dim, he whipped up a drink inspired by the fairy tale. The simple syrup and lemon work to mask the taste of the "poison"; the berries provide a pink tinge and a blood red accent.
Who's Next
Next up is Eric Chaleff of Rodan, working with falernum, a spicy ginger-based syrup used in tropical drinks.
