Cocktail Colin says:
Millionaire is an ambitious concoction, meshing the robustness of whiskey with aniseed liqueur topped by a frothy egg white layer, for a creamy, rich texture. The addition of orange refreshes the palate, creating a sophisticated cocktail that offers a luxurious complexity for discerning enthusiasts.

FAQ's
How do you properly combine the egg white into the Millionaire cocktail to ensure a smooth texture?
To properly incorporate the egg white into the Millionaire cocktail for a smooth texture, first perform a 'dry shake' by shaking all the ingredients without ice. This helps to emulsify the egg white. Then, add ice and shake again to chill the mixture. This two-step shaking process creates a frothy texture and ensures the cocktail is well-mixed and smooth.
Can I substitute something else for the aniseed liqueur in the Millionaire cocktail?
Yes, if aniseed liqueur isn't to your taste or you simply don't have it on hand, you can substitute it with a similar herbal liqueur that also has a pronounced anise flavor. Pastis or Sambuca could work as substitutes, but start with a smaller quantity and adjust to taste, as these alternatives might have a slightly different intensity and sweetness level.
What garnish works best with a Millionaire cocktail?
Considering the ingredients and flavor profile of the Millionaire cocktail, a slice of orange or a twist of orange peel makes an excellent garnish. The citrus element complements the aniseed and the whiskey, adding a fresh aroma and a touch of elegance to the presentation.
What is the ideal way to serve a Millionaire cocktail?
The Millionaire cocktail should be served in a chilled cocktail glass to keep it cold and enhance its flavors. Pre-chill the glass by filling it with ice water for a few minutes before emptying and straining the shaken cocktail mixture into it. This step ensures the cocktail maintains its intended texture and temperature.
What kind of occasions are best suited for serving the Millionaire cocktail?
The Millionaire cocktail, with its unique blend of flavors and sophisticated appearance, is perfectly suited for special occasions or celebratory events. Its luxurious name and rich ingredients make it an ideal choice for an elegant dinner party, a New Year's Eve celebration, or any gathering where you want to impress your guests with something distinctive and memorable.
