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
- 2 oz Gin
- ¾ oz Lemon Juice
- ¾ oz Simple Syrup
- 1 whole Egg White (optional)
Instructions
- Combine gin, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white (if using) in a cocktail shaker.
- 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.
- Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously again for another 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled.
- Double strain into a chilled rocks glass filled with fresh ice, or a chilled coupe glass if serving 'up'.
- Garnish with a lemon twist or a lemon wheel.
