Method
Cocktail
- 1
Prepare honey-ginger syrup (make ahead or use store-bought)
Combine equal parts honey and hot water (e.g., 1/2 cup honey + 1/2 cup hot water) and stir until dissolved. Add 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger, steep 10 minutes, then strain. Cool before using. Keeps refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.

Dry shake (if using egg white)
In a cocktail shaker, combine gin, fresh lime juice, fresh grapefruit juice, honey-ginger syrup, dry vermouth, orange bitters and the egg white (if using). Seal the shaker and shake vigorously without ice for 15–20 seconds to emulsify and build a silky foam.
- 4
Wet shake
Add a large handful of ice to the shaker. Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the mixture is well-chilled and slightly diluted.

Garnish & Finish
- 6
Express the oils from a grapefruit twist over the surface of the cocktail by pinching the peel with the outer side facing down, then rub the twist around the rim and drop it into the drink.
- 7
Gently slap the mint sprig between your palms to release aroma and rest it on the foam or float it atop the cocktail.
- 8
If you used egg white, grate a tiny pinch (about 1/8–1/4 tsp) of fresh ginger over the foam for a bright aromatic note. Serve immediately.
