Ingredients
-
2 oz gin
-
0.5 oz grenadine
-
0.5 oz lemon juice
-
1 Happy Egg white
-
Maraschino cherry (for garnish)
Steps
-
Shake It Up: Combine gin, grenadine, lemon juice, and that luxurious Happy Egg white in a cocktail shaker.
-
Dry Shake (No Ice): Shake it like you mean it for about 10 seconds. This helps the egg white whip up to frothy perfection.
-
Add Ice: Toss in some ice and shake again for about 20 seconds - the longer you shake, the better the foam!
-
Pour It Out: Strain your cocktail into a pre-chilled coupe glass.
-
Garnish: Top it off with a maraschino cherry. Because every queen needs her crown!
Ingredient Tips
-
Gin: Pick a high-quality gin with botanical notes for a sophisticated flavor profile.
-
Grenadine: Want an extra pop of pink? Add a touch more grenadine—but remember, a little goes a long way with this pomegranate-based syrup.
-
Lemon Juice: Fresh is best! Grab a lemon, give it a squeeze, and let those bright citrus vibes shine.
-
Egg Whites: Not all eggs are created equal. Happy Egg whites whip up into a dreamy, velvety foam that’s thick, smooth, and the secret to the best Pink Lady.
Serving Suggestion
Chill your coupe glasses in advance. A perfectly chilled glass keeps your Pink Lady crisp and cool from the first sip to the last laugh.
