Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz Gin
- 0.5 oz Applejack (or apple brandy)
- 0.75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
- 0.25 oz Grenadine
- 1 large Egg White
- 1 cup Ice
- 1 piece Cherry or Lemon Peel (for garnish)
Instructions
Start by preparing your cocktail shaker. Add the gin, applejack, fresh lemon juice, grenadine, and egg white into the shaker without ice (this is referred to as a 'dry shake').
Dry shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to properly emulsify the egg white, which will give the cocktail its signature frothy texture.
Open the shaker and add 1 cup of ice. Shake again for another 15-20 seconds to chill and dilute the cocktail slightly.
Double strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or martini glass to remove any ice shards and achieve a smooth consistency.
Garnish with a cherry or a twist of lemon peel for a visually stunning presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your classic Pink Lady cocktail!
