Personally i shy away from the use of any raw eggs in my cocktails due to the 
health risks and also the thought is quite off putting to me personally,
However during a previous incarnation as a chef we used pasteurised egg whites 
and yolks for use in parfaits and other dishes where the egg wasn't cooked, if 
you speak to any good chef they will be able to point you in the right 
direction to obtain this sort of thing

hope this helps Pete
