Questions, answered
What is a Cara Cara orange?
A navel orange with pink-red flesh. It's sweeter and less acidic than a regular orange, with a hint of berry.
Can I skip the egg white?
Yes, but you'll lose the silky foam. Use fresh eggs or pasteurized egg whites.
Why dry shake first?
Shaking without ice whips the egg white into a thick foam. The second shake, with ice, chills and dilutes the drink.
