Big Sur Sunset
gin, raspberry, lemon, orgeat, egg white (optional)
The egg really makes the drink more creamy and gives a smoother texture, but adds just a hint of bitterness. Either way the drink is great, but I do feel the egg white makes it a hair better.
Ingredients
2 oz Gin
3/4 oz Raspberry syrup
1/2 oz lemon juice
1/2 oz Orgeat
1 Egg white (optional)
Garnish: Raspberries
Instructions
If making the cocktail with the egg white, add all ingredients into a cocktail shaker and dry shake vigorously with no ice first, then add ice and shake again until cold. Otherwise just shake with ice. Strain into a coupe glass and garnish with some fresh raspberries.
I tried making this with Mermaid Pink Gin, which has a strawberry flavor to it. That gave the cocktail a stonger fryit flavor that I thought worked very well.
