Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 oz London Dry Gin
  • 3/4 oz blueberry simple syrup
  • 3/4 oz lemon juice fresh
  • 1 egg white or ½ oz unsalted aquafaba
  • Ice
  • Fresh blueberries, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Fill a coupe glass with ice.
  • To a cocktail shaker, add gin, blueberry syrup, lemon juice and egg white. Add on the lid and shake vigorously for 15 seconds.
  • Add in ice and shake the mixture again until it is thoroughly chilled.
  • Remove the ice from the coupe glass, then strain the drink into the chilled glass.
  • Serve with a toothpick speared with fresh blueberries.

Notes

Blueberry syrup: To make the blueberry syrup: combine 1½ cups blueberries, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, and 1½ tsp lemon juice in a saucepan. Simmer 10 minutes, cool to room temperature, then strain. Full recipe at blueberry simple syrup.
  • The dry shake (shaking without ice first) is essential for creating the silky foam layer.
  • Make your blueberry syrup ahead of time so it's completely cool.
  • For a vegan version, substitute the egg white with 1/2 oz (15 ml) aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas). It froths up just as nicely.
  • Try swapping the blueberry syrup for raspberry syrup for a raspberry gin sour variation.
  • One lemon yields approximately 1 oz (30 ml) of juice.
