INGREDIENTS

  • 2 parts Gray Whale Gin
  • 1 part lemon juice
  • ¾ part raspberry syrup*
  • ½ part orgeat
  • 1 egg white (optional)

PREPARATION

If making with egg white, add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously without ice, then add ice and shake again. If making with no egg white, add all ingredients into cocktail shaker and shake with ice. Fine strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with raspberries.

*Raspberry Syrup can be store-bought or homemade. If making the syrup, combine 4 oz berries, ½ cup sugar, and ½ cup water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until simmering, stirring occasionally. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the berries have disintegrated into seeds. Muddle if needed. Fine strain syrup to remove seeds and berries. Let cool completely before using. Store in an airtight container in a refrigerator. Keeps for 2 weeks.
