Egg Cocktails
Explore 88 cocktail recipes made with Egg
Egg is one of mixology’s most transformative ingredients, prized less for overt flavour and more for what it does to a drink’s structure. Egg white is the go-to for creating that signature, cloud-like foam and a silky, rounded mouthfeel—softening sharp citrus, knitting flavours together, and giving cocktails a luxurious “creamy” texture without adding dairy. Egg yolk, used more sparingly, brings extra richness and depth, turning certain serves into something closer to a liquid dessert. Visually, egg also delivers: a well-built foam cap makes room for aromatic garnishes and adds a polished, bar-quality finish.
You’ll find egg across a surprisingly wide range of cocktails, from bright, shaken sours to decadent flips and nightcap-style drinks. Classics like the Pisco Sour and Ramos Gin Fizz showcase how egg can make citrus and spirits feel plush and elegant, while richer recipes lean into yolk’s velvety weight. In our collection of 88 egg cocktails (including 16 classics), expect everything from bold, modern serves like After Midnight and Rattle Snake to indulgent, spirit-forward options such as the Port Flip—each using egg to amplify texture, balance, and overall drinkability.
