Gin Sour Recipe
Crafting a Gin Sour at home is so easy that you'll want to craft the classic cocktail again and again.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces gin
- 1 ounce lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- ½ ounce simple syrup
- 1 egg white (optional)
- 3 drops Angostura bitters (optional)
- ice cubes
Instructions
- Combine gin, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white in a shaker.
- Shake vigorously until the egg white emulsifies - approximately 20 seconds. (Skip this step if you omit the egg white.)
- Add several ice cubes and shake until the liquids are mixed and chilled - approximately 20 seconds.
- Strain into a coupe glass.
- Use an eye dropper to place three drops on top of the cocktail. (Skip this step if you omit the Angostura bitters.)
- Artfully swirl the three Angostura drops with a toothpick. (Skip this step if you omit the Angostura bitters.)
Notes
- You can use another glass instead of a coupe glass.
- You can omit the egg white if you're a vegan or if you're uncomfortable with ingesting raw eggs. You can alternatively replace the egg white with aquafaba.
- You can also omit the aromatic bitters. We recommend garnishing this cocktail with a maraschino cherry or lemon twist if you omit the aromatic bitters.
