Ingredients
- 3 cl THE DUKE Munich Dry Gin
- 2 cl St. Germain elderflower liqueur
- 2 cl sugar syrup
- 2 cl fresh lemon juice
- 1 egg white
- 2 cl red wine
Preparation
For the Red Wine Gin Sour, shake all ingredients except the red wine for approx. 15-20 seconds, then add ice to the shaker and shake again for 15-20 seconds. Then pour into an empty shaker and shake for another 15-20 seconds. Pour the drink into a glass filled with ice.
Now pour in the red wine and stir well with a bar spoon. Alternative: Pour red wine over the drink using a bar spoon in the middle of the glass; due to its weight, it will automatically sink below the foam layer to create a colorful effect.
Tips
- Add the filler last and stir once at most, so the carbonation stays in the glass.
- Stirring rather than shaking keeps the drink clear; shaken it would turn cloudy.
- Shake hard until the shaker frosts on the outside, roughly ten to fifteen seconds.
Variations
- Basil Gin Sour: With lemon juice.
- Chamomile Gin Sour: With dried chamomile flowers.
- Hibiscus Gin Sour with Munich Dry Gin: With lemon juice.
- ginger sour: With Ginger liqueur FuchsDeifesWUID.
