The addition of egg white gives it a luxurious frothiness that enhances the drinking experience.

Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, raspberry syrup, freshly squeezed lemon juice and egg white.
- Secure the lid of the cocktail shaker and give it a good dry shake first without ice. This helps to create that frothy texture from the egg white.
- After the dry shake, add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds to chill the mixture and further enhance the froth.
- Strain the cocktail through a fine mesh into a chilled coupe glass to ensure a smooth texture.
- Garnish the drink with fresh raspberries on top for a pop of color and added aroma.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the balanced flavors of this classic cocktail.
Tips
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace the gin with a botanical non-alcoholic spirit. You can also try using different fruit syrups to add a twist to the classic recipe.
