Ingredients
- 1 egg white
- 1 oz Aperol
- 1 ½ oz gin
- ½ oz pomegranate juice
- ¼ oz lemon juice approx. ¼ lemon
Instructions
- Pour the cocktail ingredients to a shaker without ice and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds. This is the “dry shake” which allows the egg whites to froth better. There should be a thick layer of pink froth in the shaker.
- Add ice to the shaker and shake again for another 20 seconds to chill the drink.
- Use a strainer to pour the drink into a cocktail glass. Top with a lemon twist, if desired and enjoy!
Notes
Dry shake : This is really important whenever you have a cocktail with egg whites. Shake all the cocktail ingredients in a shaker without ice first which allows the egg whites to froth. Then add the ice and shake it to chill the drink. If you forget, remove the ice and do the dry shake after.
Egg whites : Fresh egg whites are best but if you need to, 2 tablespoon of the egg whites from the carton will work as well.
Egg white substitute : Swap the egg whites with aquafaba to make this vegan.
Make for 2 : If your shaker is big enough, you can make two cocktails at once. Only use 1 egg white if you're doing this.
