How to Make a Blackberry Gin Sour

Step 1: Prepare the Rim

Dip the rim of a coupe glass into a small dish of lemon juice, then coat it with freeze-dried blackberry powder. Set the glass aside.

Step 2: Shake the Cocktail

In a cocktail shaker, combine gin, lemon juice, blackberry simple syrup, and egg white (if using). Dry shake (without ice) for 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create foam.

Step 3: Add Ice and Shake Again

Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for another 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.

Step 4: Strain into the Glass

Strain the cocktail into the prepared coupe glass.
