Cocktail Time with Kevin Kos | Egg Whites Showdown | Fresh vs Pasteurized vs Powdered @KevinKos | Uploaded March 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Cocktail Engineering episode 3 - Egg Whites Showdown, Fresh vs Pasteurized vs Powdered! Which one wins? Use of egg whites in a bar or home bar freaks out a lot of imbibers. Is it really safe to use raw egg whites in a cocktail? What if you use an alternative egg white? In this video I break down three egg whites options: fresh egg white, pasteurized egg white, and powdered egg white. But which one is the best to use in a cocktail? I rated them all according to strict ‘Cocktail Engineering’ criteria and proclaimed a winner. Do you agree? Recipes are below the links.
