Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz. Empress 1908 Gin
- 3 oz. elderflower tonic
- 1 oz ginger simple syrup* (see recipe below)
- 1 egg white
- 3-4 dashes rosemary lavender bitters
Instructions
- Using a coupe glass, add ice and water to chill while mixing drink.
- Fill a cocktail shaker half way with ice.
- Add gin, ginger simple syrup, bitters, and egg white.
- Cover and shake vigorously for 1 minute.
- Pour the ice and water out of the chilled glass and add tonic.

Notes
- to make ginger syrup: combine 2 tablespoons sugar and a 2-inch piece of fresh ginger (halved) into a heatproof bowl. Pour ½ cup boiling water over top, let cool, then strain. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- shaking tip: for the best frothy top, shake hard and don't rush it. A full minute of vigorous shaking makes a noticeable difference in the texture.
- serving suggestion: serve this gin cocktail immediately after shaking for the smoothest texture and best presentation.
