vanishing act

2 oz Gin (Beefeater)
1 oz Lemon Juice (1/2 oz)
1/2 oz Honey Syrup (1:1)
1 bsp Crème de Violette (1/8 oz Rothman & Winter)
1 Egg White

Shake once without ice and once with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a mist of Angostura Bitters (3 drops).Two Mondays ago, I was perusing the Kindred Cocktails database when I came across the Vanishing Act crafted at the Anvil in Houston circa 2010. Since it read like an egg white and honey variation on the Aviation, I was game to give it a try. Once prepared, it donated a floral, allspice, and clove bouquet to the nose. Next, a creamy lemon sip sailed into a gin, honey, and violet swallow.
