This Pink Gin Sour is crisp, bright, and the perfect amount of sweet. The berry gin is quintessentially botanical and earthy, and the strawberry simple syrup compliments it so well. Lemon juice brightens the flavor and the cocktail gets shaken with an egg white for a light and airy foam to top it off!
Add the sliced strawberries, sugar, and water to a saucepan and bring it to a boil.
Stir them well and then lower heat to simmer.
Let the strawberries simmer for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, strain the syrup into a jar or bowl and let it cool completely.
For the Gin Sour
Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker.
Add a handful of ice, about 5 cubes.
Shake vigourously for 1 minute.
Strain the shaken cocktail into the glass of your choice. Garnish with twisted lemon rind, and serve!
