Good Neighbor Bar in Altadena, California, specializes in classic cocktails with a focus on egg white-laced drinks. Bar director Jesus Gomez revisits recipes like the Tequila Daisy variation called the Astor Hotel Special, which combines tequila, lime, maraschino, and egg white. Gomez's notable tweak is using a whole egg white for added fluffiness. He selects Gran Clásico tequila for its sweetness and Maraska maraschino for its balance, highlighting the underrepresentation of tequila in traditional egg white cocktails.
The extensive menu includes a whole section for egg white-laced drinks like the Apple Blow Fizz, Spanish Monk, and Astor Hotel Special.
The cocktail, which means 'meadow' in Spanish, is a Tequila Daisy or Margarita variation with maraschino replacing orange liqueur.
Gomez's major change is using a whole egg white instead of half for extra fluffiness in the cocktail.
For tequila drinks, Gomez chooses Gran Clásico for its sweet agave flavor and Maraska maraschino for balance in the drink.
