Gin Sour

Ingredients

  • 60 ml Gin
  • 22.5 ml Lemon juice
  • 15 ml Sugar syrup
  • 1 piece Egg white
  • Garnish Lemon twist

Preparation

  1. Dry shake all ingredients.
  2. Shake with ice.
  3. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Don't know how? Pour the drink through a strainer (or the built-in strainer on your shaker) to catch the ice and any solids.
  4. Garnish with lemon twist. Use a peeler or knife to cut a wide strip, avoiding the white pith. Twist it over the drink to release the oils, then drop it in.
