I’m a bit behind on cocktails, as this is not the season to be having them, prior to Christmas. However, for the feast of the Immaculate conception, I wanted to post a little frothy and excellent-tasting cocktail. (Bear in mind all the normal health risks of using raw eggs, etc.) This needs to be well shaken, so as to get the appropriate froth from the egg.
Vigorously shake all of these together
2 oz. Gin, I used Tanqueray No. 10 (We keep various gins, as this is my wife’s preferred base, especially in the summer. Bombay Sapphire would work too, as would regular Tanqueray. You want sufficient botanicals to shine through.)
0.5 oz Orange Liqueur (I used Cointreau. I think that Grand Marnier is just a little to cloying for this.)
0.5 oz fresh lemon juice
1 egg white
Serve in a Martini Glass
