Ingredients:
- 2 oz London Dry Gin
- 0.5 oz White Vermouth
- 1 oz fresh lemon juice
- 0.75 oz simple syrup (1:1 ratio)
- 1 tbsp frozen raspberries, slightly thawed
- 1 large egg white
- 3 fresh raspberries for garnish
- 1 pinch dried hibiscus powder
Instructions:
- Place 1 tbsp of slightly thawed frozen raspberries in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Muddle firmly until the berries are pulverized into a bright red paste.
- Add the gin, white vermouth, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white to the shaker. Secure the lid and perform a 'dry shake' (without ice) for 30 seconds to aerate the proteins and create the pink velvet foam.
- Fill the shaker to the brim with large ice cubes. Shake vigorously for another 15 seconds until the shaker is frost-bitten and extremely cold.
- Double strain the mixture through a Hawthorn strainer and a fine-mesh sieve into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with fresh raspberries and a dusting of hibiscus powder.
