Modern Apothecary

Botanical MicroFoam for the Curious Glass

The first plant-based, flavor-neutral cocktail foamer. One dropper, a perfect crown — no eggs, no aftertaste.

The Problem

Every foam leaves something behind

  • Egg Whites

    Eggy, 'wet dog' aroma. Five to seven days, refrigerated. Egg proteins in every glass. Cracked, separated, and mostly thrown away.

  • Other Foamers

    Bitter and tannic, or plasticky and chemical. Four to six months. Variable allergens. Whatever they leave behind, your guest tastes.

So we built the third option.

The Ritual

Refined Through Ritual

Every crown begins the same way — a measured dose, a shake with intent, and foam that rises on its own.

  1. Add one full dropper to shaker

    One full dropper of Alexander's per drink. No more, no measuring by eye.

  2. Shake well with ice, then dry shake

    Chill and combine with ice, strain, then shake again dry to build the foam.

  3. Strain into desired glass

    Coupe, rocks, or flute — strain clean and let it settle.

  4. The crown

    A silken pearl-white cap rises and holds. Clean, neutral, still.

The Proof

Everything a cocktail foam should be

  • Up to 200 Cocktails

    One 100mL bottle makes up to 200 cocktails at one dropper per drink.

  • Plant-Based & Allergen-Free

    Zero egg proteins, zero common allergens. Vegan and gluten-free.

  • Neutral Flavor Profile

    Charcoal-filtered to a clean, flavorless foam that never touches the drink beneath.

Every foamer makes bubbles. The difference is what else it leaves in the glass.
