Gin Sour

A refreshing and perfectly balanced classic sour cocktail featuring gin, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup, often enhanced with an egg white for a creamy texture and velvety mouthfeel.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Combine gin, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white (if using) in a cocktail shaker.
  2. If using egg white, perform a 'dry shake' (shake vigorously without ice) for about 15-20 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create a frothy texture.
  3. Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously again for another 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled.
  4. Double strain into a chilled rocks glass filled with fresh ice, or a chilled coupe glass if serving 'up'.
  5. Garnish with a lemon twist or a lemon wheel.
