Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by washing the red bell pepper and slicing it into small pieces. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Muddle the Basil and Green Peppercorns

    In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh basil leaves and green peppercorns. Use a muddler to gently crush them together to release their flavors.

  3. 3

    Add Other Ingredients

    To the shaker, add the sliced red bell pepper, Botanist Gin, Midori, lemon juice, and fresh ginger. Follow with the egg white.

  4. 4

    Dry Shake

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously without ice for about 15 seconds. This helps to emulsify the egg white.

  5. 5

    Ice Shake

    Add ice to the shaker and shake again for another 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  6. 6

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe glass or a cocktail glass. You can use a fine mesh strainer to ensure a smooth pour.

  7. 7

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a basil leaf or a thin slice of red bell pepper on the rim of the glass.
