Method

Add main ingredients
In a cocktail shaker without ice, combine 2 oz gin, 0.5 oz raspberry syrup, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, and 1 large egg white. If you prefer a slightly sweeter drink, include 1 tsp sugar (or powdered sugar) now so it dissolves well during the dry shake.

Dry shake (create foam)
Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds (the 'dry shake'). This develops a stable, silky foam from the egg white.
- 4
Wet shake (chill and dilute)
Open the shaker, add 6 ice cubes, reseal, and shake hard for another 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker becomes very cold (about 10–15 seconds). This chills, dilutes, and further integrates the foam.

Strain
Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and any raspberry seeds for a smooth texture.

Garnish and serve
Garnish with 2 fresh raspberries threaded on a small pick or gently floated on the foam. Optionally, zest a small strip of lemon peel over the drink to express oils, then discard. Serve immediately.

Notes on substitutions & safety
If you prefer not to use raw egg white, substitute 0.5 oz aquafaba (chickpea liquid) for a vegan foam. Always use fresh eggs and practice safe food handling when consuming raw egg. Raspberry syrup can be made by heating equal parts sugar and water with fresh or frozen raspberries, straining, and cooling.
