Ingredients

  • 55 g Gin
  • 30 g Limoncello
  • 20 g Fresh lemon juice
  • 14 g Simple syrup
  • 1 pasteurized egg white (optional, for froth)
  • Ice cubes
  • Lemon peel for garnish

Instructions

  1. Chill your coupe glasses in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
  2. Add the gin, limoncello, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white (if using) into a cocktail shaker.
  3. Perform a "dry shake" (without ice) for 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white.
  4. Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for another 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.
  5. Double strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the chilled coupe glasses.
  6. Express the oils from a lemon peel over the drink and drop it in or discard.

Serving Suggestions

Serve immediately in a chilled coupe glass. Pairs beautifully with light appetizers like bruschetta, olives, or salted almonds at an outdoor summer gathering.
