Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 oz gin
- 1/2 oz apple brandy (or calvados)
- 1/4 oz grenadine
- 3/4 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 egg white (optional)
- Ice cubes
- Thin apple slice (optional, for garnish)
- Edible rose petal or small edible flower (for garnish)
Instructions
- Chill a coupe glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes to ensure the drink stays cold.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine gin, apple brandy, grenadine, lemon juice, and egg white (if using). Shake vigorously without ice for 10–15 seconds to create a frothy emulsion.
- Add ice to the shaker and shake again for 15–20 seconds to chill the drink and further emulsify the egg white.
- Double strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe glass to remove any ice shards and ensure a smooth, frothy texture.
- Place a thin apple slice on the rim of the glass or float it delicately on the surface. Alternatively, add an edible rose petal or a small edible flower for a romantic touch.
Notes
- The egg white is optional, but it gives the cocktail a lovely frothiness.
- Adjust the amount of grenadine depending on your desired sweetness.
