Notes
Why shake twice? Because the first shake starts to develop the foam and thoroughly incorporate the ingredients. This first shake is considered a "dry shake", which means the ingredients are shaken without ice. The second shake happens with ice, and its purpose is to rapidly chill and slightly dilute the drink. In this case, it also "strengthens" the foam.
Do NOT use pebble ice for the second shake. It will cause the drink to turn into almost a whipped cream consistency and be nothing but foam.
You can swap the egg white for chickpea liquid. If you want a vegan version of this drink, use the canned chickpea liquid.
