“The Rattlesnake made its first appearance in Harry Craddock’s The Savoy Cocktail Book in 1930,” says The Everleigh’s Michael Madrusan. “It’s a great alternative to the standard Whiskey Sour.” Here, as is common practice in good bars with all drinks involving eggwhites, the egg is shaken first with the other ingredients but without ice so that it emulsifies better, then ice is added to the shaker and everything is shaken again to chill it.
