Ingredients
  

Cocktail Ingredients
  • 2 oz gin
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice Freshly squeezed is best.
  • 1 oz simple syrup
  • 6-8 pieces fresh raspberries Use fresh raspberries for vibrant flavor.
  • 1 piece egg white Alternatively, use 1 oz aquafaba for a vegan option.
  • Ice as needed Ice (for shaking and chilling)
  • Dash Angostura bitters (for garnish) Optional for extra flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chill the serving glass by placing it in the freezer.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the raspberries and simple syrup. Muddle until the raspberries are crushed into a pulp.
  3. Add gin, lemon juice, and egg white (or aquafaba) to the shaker without ice.
  4. Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create foam.
  5. Add a handful of ice to the shaker and shake again for another 15-20 seconds until icy cold.
  6. Double strain the cocktail into your chilled glass to remove seeds.
  7. Garnish with a few fresh raspberries on a cocktail pick or a lemon twist, and optionally add a dash of Angostura bitters.

Notes

Enjoy fresh for maximum taste. Store in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but avoid long-term storage due to the fresh raspberries. For make-ahead, mix base ingredients without ice or egg white and shake when ready to serve.
