Experience the luxurious depth of a Black Currant Garden Sour, an elevated twist on the classic sour. This Virginia Gin creation marries the herbaceous notes of a local spirit with the deep, fruity-spicy character of Barolo Chinato and the rich sweetness of black currant syrup. Finished with a velvety egg white foam, it’s a perfectly balanced, invigorating cocktail designed for the sophisticated palate. Serve this beautiful drink in a chilled Coupe Glass for an unforgettable experience.
Prep: Gather all liquid components, ensuring the cocktail glass is chilled and ready. Separate one egg white for the frothy texture.
Mix: Combine the gin, black currant simple syrup, Barolo Chinato, lemon juice, and egg white into a cocktail shaker. Secure the lid tightly without adding ice.
Shake: Dry shake the ingredients very vigorously for approximately 10 seconds to fully emulsify the egg white. Next, add fresh ice to the shaker and shake very hard until the exterior is well-chilled.
Serve: Double-strain the mixture into the chilled cocktail glass, ensuring the beautiful, frothy head is intact.
Garnish: Express the oils from a large lemon twist over the drink and place the twist on the rim of the glass.
