Shakespear

To be or not to be... ready for a drink, THAT is the question.

The Shakespear is a refined whisky cocktail that blends Whisky No4, pear nectar, lemon juice, and orgeat, with egg white for a silky finish. Garnished with fresh pear and nutmeg, it’s a drink that feels as timeless and layered as its name suggests.

Ingredients

• 1.75 oz Whisky No4

• 0.75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice

• 0.75 oz Orgeat (Almond Syrup)

• 1.75 oz Pear Nectar

• 0.5 oz Egg White (about half an egg white)

• Pear Slice & Nutmeg, for garnish

How to Make It

1. In a shaker with ice, combine whisky, lemon juice, orgeat, pear nectar, and egg white.

2. Shake vigorously until well-chilled and frothy.

3. Strain into a chilled glass filled with ice.

Pro Tip 

• For extra foam, dry shake first (without ice), then shake again with ice.

• Fresh pear nectar will add more depth than store-bought juice.
