Los Angeles

Named after the Los Angeles Club in the town of the same name, this is probably my favorite drink to use a whole egg. Shake very well, or it will taste too much of yolk.

1 1/2 oz Rye
1/2 oz Lemon juice
1/4 oz Sweet Vermouth
1/2 bar spoon Sugar
1 Whole egg

Combine the ingredients in a glass and shake for 5-10 seconds, making sure the yolk has been broken. Fill the glass with ice and shake for 30-45 seconds. Strain into a port glass or large coupe and sprinkle grated nutmeg on top.

Note: this drink is also excellent without the yolk, so if you enjoy egg white but not yolk, do not hesitate to try it out.

Enjoy.
