Cooking time: 0 minutes
Yield: 1 servings
Category: Alcoholic

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces gin
  • 1 ounce lemon juice
  • 3⁄4 ounce simple syrup
  • 1⁄2 ounce egg white (about 1 egg white; optional or traditional for foam)
  • 2 ounces club soda (or sparkling water)
  •   lemon wedge

Instructions

  1. Dry Shake: Combine the gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white in a cocktail shaker without ice. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and build foam.
  2. Wet Shake: Add ice cubes to the shaker and shake again for another 15 to 30 seconds until well-chilled.
  3. Strain: Double-strain the mixture into a chilled Collins or highball glass (traditionally served without ice in the glass).
  4. Top & Garnish: Top with chilled club soda and garnish with a lemon slice or twist.
