I love that, I wonder if cherry brandy or some other red liquer could be used in place of the wine, or would that make it too sweet?

It's worth a try, though I don't know if the brandy will float, and I think the acidity in the wine mixes well with the other flavors.

Looks interesting. I like the layering effect. I'm really going to have to try one of these cocktails using egg white.

Looks interesting. I like the layering effect. I'm really going to have to try one of these cocktails using egg white.

The trick seems to be to dry-shake it first (for about 30 seconds), to really break up the whites, then to shake again with the ice, as usual.

I really like the addition of the egg white, it makes it all smooth and velvety. It feels very luxurious to drink.
