Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries plus 1-2 for garnish
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 oz gin
  • 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 oz raspberry syrup from step 1
  • 1 egg white
  • Ice
  • Lemon twist optional, for garnish

Equipment

  • Small Saucepan
  • Fine-Mesh Sieve
  • Cocktail Shaker
  • Coupe Glass
  • Cocktail Pick (optional)

Method
 

Raspberry Syrup
  1. Combine raspberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and raspberries break down (about 5 minutes).
  2. Remove from heat, cool completely, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing solids to extract juice; discard solids.
Cocktail Assembly
  1. In a cocktail shaker, combine gin, lemon juice, raspberry syrup, and egg white.
  2. Dry shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
  3. Add ice to the shaker and wet shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.
  4. Double strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe glass.
  5. Garnish with 1-2 fresh raspberries or a lemon twist (optional).

Notes

For best results, make sure your raspberry syrup is completely cool before adding it to your cocktail. The dry shake is crucial for emulsifying the egg white and creating a frothy texture.
