Add the bourbon, lemon juice, and simple syrup into a shaker.

Fill the shaker with ice and shake hard for about 15 seconds.

This creates the signature frothy texture.

Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice or a chilled coupe glass.

If you want the traditional “Boston” style,

add half an ounce of egg white before shaking

(dry shake first without ice, then add ice and shake again).

Garnish with a cherry and a lemon slice.
