- Ice, as needed

Instructions
- Add ingredients: Combine the gin, Aperol, elderflower liqueur, lemon juice, and egg white into a cocktail shaker without ice.
- Dry shake: Shake the mixture vigorously for 20 seconds to emulsify the egg white and incorporate the ingredients well.

Notes
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor and natural acidity.
- Ensure the egg white is fresh and properly handled for safety and best frothy texture.
- A dry shake without ice is crucial to create a smooth, foamy head before chilling the drink.
- You can substitute elderflower liqueur with St-Germain or similar floral liqueurs if unavailable.
- If preferred, pasteurized egg whites or aquafaba can be used as alternatives for safety or vegan variations.
