Ingredients:
45ml Absolut Vodka
30ml Lemon Juice
15ml Simple Syrup
15ml Egg White

1 Whole Cherry
1 Wedge Lemon
Ice Cubes (during shaking)
One Large Ice Cube

Tools:

Peeler 
Glass or Cup (for the Egg Whites)
Rocks Glass

Instructions:
Using a jigger or measuring instrument, add simple syrup, freshly squeezed lemon juice, vodka, and a few dashes of bitters into the smaller tin of your Boston shaker.
Crack an egg and separate the whites into a glass or cup, then pour the egg whites (or aquafaba) into the shaker.
Close the Boston shaker and dry shake (without ice) to emulsify the ingredients.
Open the shaker, add ice cubes, and shake again until well chilled.
Separate the tins and use a Hawthorne strainer to strain the cocktail into a rocks glass over one large ice cube.
Use a peeler to express a strip of lemon zest over the drink, drop it in, garnish with a cherry, and enjoy!
