Ingredients
60 ml 2 fl oz gin
22.5 ml 3/4 fl oz fresh lemon juice
22.5 ml 3/4 fl oz raspberry syrup
1 1 fresh egg white
Fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)
Equipment
Cocktail Shaker
Hawthorne strainer
Jigger
Fine mesh strainer
Coupe glass
Instructions
- Dry shake first: Add the gin, lemon juice, raspberry syrup, and egg white to your cocktail shaker without ice. Seal tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to create a good foam.
- Add ice and shake again: Open the shaker, add ice, and shake again for another 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.
- Double strain: Pour the cocktail through both a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer into a chilled coupe glass. This double-straining technique ensures a silky smooth texture without ice chips.
- Garnish: Place a few fresh raspberries on top or on a cocktail pick as a garnish.
Notes
- For the best foam, make sure your egg white is fresh and at room temperature. If you’re concerned about raw egg, you can substitute with 15 ml (½ oz) of aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas), which creates a similar foam without using eggs.
