Blueberry Gin Sour | A Balance of Sweet and Tart
– A Summer Cocktail Favorite –
This Blueberry Gin Sour – balancing sweet and tart – is an ideal summer cocktail because it can be served on the rocks, strained, or mixed with crushed ice.
Ingredients:
100 g | 3.5oz | 1 cup fresh or frozen and defrosted blueberries
2 tbsp simple syrup or 1 tbsp sugar
4 tbsp fresh lemon juice from one large lemon
2 tbsp egg white
100 ml | 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp gin
2 dashes Angostura Bitters optional
lemon peel to serve
Instructions:
1. Put the blueberries, lemon juice, simple syrup (or sugar) in a glass or measuring jug and muddle with the back end of a rolling pin (or a muddler). TIP: If you want a really smooth cocktail, strain the muddled blueberries and extract the juice before adding to your shaker.
2. Add the muddled blueberries into your shaker.
3. Add the gin, bitters and egg white and shake vigorously to foam up the egg white. Be careful as the egg white will expand and your shaker might leak.
4. Add plenty of ice into your shaker and shake for 30 seconds.
5. Strain the cocktail into two rocks glasses filled with ice. Decorate with a slice of lemon peel.
*For a refreshing summer cocktail treat, mix the Blueberry Gin Sour with crushed ice.
