Epicureans Gin Sour

Instructions:

1. Dry Shake (Optional): If using egg white, add it to your cocktail shaker without ice and shake vigorously. This process, known as a dry shake, helps to emulsify the egg white, creating a smooth and frothy texture.
2. Mix the Ingredients: Add the Epicureans gin, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup to the shaker with the egg white (if used). Fill the shaker with ice cubes.
3. Shake Well: Shake the mixture vigorously. The goal here is to chill the cocktail while also ensuring that all the ingredients are well combined and the cocktail is properly aerated if using egg white.
4. Strain: Strain the cocktail into a chilled glass. If you’ve used egg white, consider double straining the cocktail to ensure a smooth texture without any ice chips or egg residue.
5. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the drink with a slice of fresh lemon.

The Epicurean Gin Sour beautifully showcases the distinct flavors and aromas of Epicureans gin, making it a sophisticated and refreshing choice. The addition of egg white creates a luxurious texture that perfectly balances the sharpness of the lemon and the sweetness of the syrup, while the garnishes add a touch of elegance and depth to the drink.

Cheers Epicureans !
