Winter Sour
This merry and bright Winter Sour is a seasonal take on the classic Gin Sour, beautifully evocative with its suave pine flavour and delightful bergamot scent. It is a delectable cocktail to sip with choice hors d'oeuvres to celebrate the Holidays! Happy Christmas, friends!
Ingredients (serves 1):
60 millilitres/2 fluid ounces (4 tablespoons) good London Dry Gin
½ ripe bergamot
1 egg white
1 ½ tablespoon Pine Needle Syrup
8 ice cubes
Angostura bitters
Pour Gin in a shaker. Thoroughly squeeze the juice of the bergamot, and add to the shaker as well, along with egg white and Pine Needle Syrup. Close tightly, and dry shake (without the ice), about 30 seconds.
Add ice cubes to the shaker, and shake energetically until well-chilled. Strain into a coupe glass, and add a few dashes Angostura bitters.
Enjoy Winter Sour immediately!
