Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Jigger
  • Strainer
  • Citrus juicer
  • Bar spoon
  • Coupe glass

Ingredients

  • 2 oz gin London Dry or elderflower-infused
  • 0.5 oz elderflower liqueur e.g., St. Germain
  • 0.25 oz elderflower syrup optional, for extra sweetness
  • 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 0.5 oz simple syrup
  • 1 egg white or 1 oz aquafaba
  • ice cubes

Instructions

  • Combine gin, elderflower liqueur, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white (or aquafaba) in a shaker.
  • Dry shake for 15 seconds to build foam.
  • Add ice and shake again until cold.
  • Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled coupe glass.

Notes

Use elderflower syrup for a sweeter cocktail or elderflower-infused gin for extra floral notes. Aquafaba is a great vegan substitute for egg white. Chill the coupe glass for best results.
