Add all ingredients into a shaking tin. Dry shake for 5 seconds. Add 8oz of pebble ice. Flash shake for 5 seconds. Place a large cube into a chilled double old fashioned glass. Double strain the cocktail over the large cube.

Editor's Note

A thoughtful rebuild of a tiki classic. Acid-adjusted orange juice provides the necessary sour backbone, while orgeat and egg white create a rich, silky texture against the bourbon base.
