Raspberry Gin Sour
This pretty raspberry gin sour cocktail is flavored with homemade raspberry syrup and lemon.
Ingredients
- 2 oz London Dry Gin
- 3/4 oz lemon juice fresh
- 3/4 oz raspberry simple syrup
- 1 egg white or ½ oz unsalted aquafaba
- Ice
Instructions
- Fill a coupe glass with ice.
- To a cocktail shaker, add gin, raspberry syrup, lemon juice and egg white. Add on the lid and shake vigorously for 20 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.
- Decorate the top of the foam with a drizzle of raspberry syrup, or serve with a toothpick speared with fresh raspberries.
Notes
Raspberry Syrup: To make the raspberry syrup: combine 1½ cups raspberries, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, and 1½ tsp lemon juice in a saucepan. Simmer 10 minutes, strain well through a fine sieve to remove seeds, and cool completely. Full recipe at raspberry simple syrup.
- The dry shake (shaking without ice first) is essential for creating the silky foam layer.
- Make your raspberry 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.
- This drink is also known as a Clover Club, a classic pre-Prohibition cocktail.
- One lemon yields approximately 1 oz (30 ml) of juice.
