Batching Egg Whites: Process and Quantity
07 April 2020
Many bars batch together egg whites, either for convenience (saves time versus cracking open an egg each drink at service time), or to conserve resources. With egg whites batched together, bartenders can pour just the portion that they need for a drink rather than using a whole egg white each time. We asked some bartenders how they batch egg whites at their bars and how much egg white they use per drink.
Justin Lavenue, Owner / Operator of The Roosevelt Room & The Eleanor in Austin, Texas, shared his batch formula for egg whites. He says, "For our bottled Egg Whites, we stabilize the batch with a touch of Vodka and Sugar, then we add .75 oz of this batch per Egg White cocktail."
