Stop Using Egg White! Super Syrup is here!

  • Today I’ll tell you why you should stop using egg white in your sour cocktails: Super Syrup is here! Be it for safety concerns, the smell, dilution, the waste of yolks or eating restrictions, not everyone is a fan of egg whites in their cocktails. This is why this week I decided to bring you Super Syrup - a vegan alternative that manages to replicate the silky texture and the stable foam of egg whites. It was inspired by the work of Mike Capoferri, from LA’s Thunderbolt bar. I also made two Whiskey Sours to compare, a classic version with egg white, and a version with Super Syrup, combining both the sweetener and the frothing agent to create a wonderful ingredient that can be used in many more drinks! So get comfortable and make sure to use the calculator on my website to make yourself some Super Syrup. Cheers!

    I make hummus a lot which means I often have aquafaba on hand. I reduce the aquafaba and then pour it into my ice cube tray which happens to be about 1 ounce per cube giving me aquafaba cubes. I just pop a cube into the shaker as I'm making the drink. Thoroughly shake it to create a foam as I chill the drink. No ice needed so I have more control over the dilution.

    After some trial and error I finally have a beautiful cocktail with Kevins recipe. My first mistake was to get Methylcelluose powder which produced little foam. I then read in the comments that Methocel F50 (Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) was the better choice. I then followed the technique and got terrific results. However, on my third attempt I made the mistake of adding the Methocel dissolved in hot water into the sugar-xanthan liquid rather than the sugar-xanthan liquid into the Methocel solution. Whatever the reaction was this did not produce a beautiful foam. Finally today I followed the recipe exactly and got a beautiful long lasting foam. Hope this helps others.

    Second I'm having a problem with the super syrup. I tried to replicate at home twice until I realized that I didn't buy methylcellulose, I bought carboxymethyl cellulose because this one is a little bit more accessible in Brazil. I wanted to know if you know the difference between methylcellulose and CMC and if there is a measure to use it and a right temperature (when I tried to put boiling water on CMC it firmed it like a thick gel).
    I did the gum syrup and it worked just fine, but I really wanted to make the super syrup work because it would help me a lot at work.
    Again, thanks a lot for your content. We, as bartenders, need more channels like yours, since we could apply so many different techniques behind the bar, but don't have a proper professionalization of the job, like gastronomy.
    Kind regards.

    @KevinKos I have been using many of your syrups and particularly the Super Syrup for over a year with my cocktail program. I have decided to try to use it with a cocktail I had previously used Egg white with. It is a Rosemary Hemmingway. So I tried making a Rosemary Super Syrup by making Rosemary water and using that blended with sugar and Xanthum Gum. But the foam is dissipating Super quick unlike with the regular Super Syrup. I have been trying to remedy but have become a bit stuck of what is doing it

  • @JoeJohnson1

    I'll definitely be trying this. We've used aquafaba, but it never really satisfied like egg whites.
    I already make my syrup and add a few things to the recipe. It takes a day or so of heating, cooling and heating again. Do you think that the Methylcellulose, Gum Arabic and Xanthan Gum would hold up? Or maybe I'd be better off mixing them separately and adding at the end?

      Oh man, that's a bummer! When I checked I saw free shipping, but I had just over $50 in my cart (after all the discounts) which I now see it applicable for orders over $50. The shelf life of the syrups we have in the studio seems to be great, stored in the fridge after opening, of course. Thanks for watching the video and your comment. Cheers, Adam!

I don't mind using egg whites but it's such a waste of yolks but I also don't make enough cocktails to justify buying a carton of egg whites. I tried using egg white powder as well (buy at baking shops) and it works fine but it's messy and can get lumpy :/

    I've always found egg alternatives can't compare to the mouthfeel of the egg. Initially they'll be close, but the head settles out faster and the mouthfeel gets thinner. I'd be interested to hear how they compared over time. I've also found that often the egg smell won't be noticeable at first if you use fresh eggs, but as the cocktail warms over time it becomes much more apparent.

      This 2 components are completly diferent, and you will get 2 huge diferent results...
      Starting with:
      1) Methylcellulose E Number is E461 and Cas Number is 9004-67-5
      2) CarboxyMethylcellulose E Number is E466 and Cas Number is 9000-11-7
      You dont need to know nothing more...

    question if you wanted to add more sugar to made it self stable how would that affect the rest of ingredient. For example I tend to make simple syrupy 2:1 ratio of sugar to water because syrup won't expired and don't need to keep it in the fridge. so long will the super sour syrup will actually last.

    Would be interesting to add Food Grade Polysorbate 80, which is a powerful foaming agent, to the syrup as well as the methylcellulose. Or alternatively something like Foamex Quillaja Extract which is derived from plants, much harder to get though than Food Grade Polysorbate 80. Modernist Pantry for instance sells Polysorbate 80. Searching around a little bit while writing this I fell over a product called Fee Foam protein replacement by a company called Fee Brothers, it uses polysorbate 80, would be really cool to see you use it!

      There are also cocktails that use egg yolk.

      You could use the combination of a yolk and cream or milk to make a rich and creamy drink or a luxurious coffee.
