Method
Raspberry Syrup

Combine and simmer
Place raspberries, granulated sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and break down the berries, about 5–7 minutes.

Strain and finish
Remove from heat and mash the mixture lightly with a spoon or spatula. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing to extract juices. Discard solids. Stir in 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Let cool completely. Refrigerate until needed. Yields ~1 cup.

Chill glass
If desired, chill a coupe or rocks glass by filling it with ice and cold water while you prepare the drink.
- 4
Dry shake (if using egg white)
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz gin, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.75 oz raspberry syrup, and 1 whole egg white (if using). Seal and shake vigorously without ice for 15 seconds to emulsify and build foam.

Wet shake
Add a large handful of ice to the shaker. Shake again vigorously for 10–15 seconds until chilled and the outside of the shaker is frosty.

Strain
Discard ice and water from the chilled glass if you chilled it. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or rocks glass using a fine-mesh strainer to remove any ice shards and raspberry seeds.
