How are cocktails with raw egg as an ingredient made so people don’t get sick?

Raw eggs don’t automatically make you sick. But they can be contaminated with bacteria that can. Even if the bacteria is killed, the toxins they leave behind can make you sick anyway, so contamination isn’t always fixed by cooking. Proper sanitation and storage is key.
In a cocktail you’ve also got some antiseptic properties from the ethanol, although how much will depend on how strong they mix the drink.
