Preparation
- Step 1
Beforehand, chill red wine that's been sweetened slightly with sugar (about a tablespoon per half cup of wine) and steeped with lemon peels.
- Step 2
Next, combine one and a half ounces of Brooklyn gin, three-quarters of an ounce of lemon juice, a half-ounce of triple sec, a quarter ounce of gum syrup and an egg white. Shake and strain into a cocktail glass.
- Step 3
Using a funnel, pour the red wine into the bottom of the glass so it forms a deep layer of color. Mist the top of the cocktail with absinthe (if you don't have a spare mister, drizzle a few drops of absinthe) and garnish with a few dashes of Angostura bitters.

Isn't Natalie Portman vegan? Why put egg white in the cocktail?
https://www.kevinkos.com/post/super-syrup Substitute put egg white and gum syrup with 0.75oz of Super Syrup for a vegan and more Natalie-like drink.
Aquafaba (drained chickpea liquid) works as a egg white substitute in cocktails. Sub one tablespoon aquafaba for an egg white. Be sure to get unsalted chickpeas.

Easy vegan way that tastes better/feels better to my mind is substituting egg white with aquafaba (use a can of chickpeas, save the liquid its in, use the chickpeas for hummus!!) Best to dry shake first - no ice - as this helps the foam be smoother, then add the ice to cool it.
Is there a particular reason why the recipe calls for Brooklyn gin?
