Prepare the glass by smoking it with rum and maple wood chips using a torch.

Crack one egg and separate the egg white into a small tin.

Add 1 ounce of simple syrup to the tin.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice to get about 1 ounce and add it to the tin.

Pour 2 ounces of bourbon into the tin.

Add ice to the small tin and shake for about 15 seconds to chill the mixture.

Strain the mixture into a clean small tin using a St George strainer, ensuring no ice gets in.

Discard the dirty ice from the first shake.

Perform a dry shake by pouring the mixture back into the original tin without ice and shake in a circular motion to whip the egg white.

Strain the mixture into the smoked glass using both a St George strainer and a fine mesh strainer, allowing the meringue to settle on top.

Add a few drops of Angostura bitters on top of the drink and swirl with a bar spoon.
