Red Beefeater Recipe

Prepare and Combine

If using egg white, separate a fresh egg and measure 0.5 unit (about half an egg white). Add 2 oz Beefeater gin, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, 0.5 oz raspberry liqueur, 1 oz cranberry juice, and the 0.5 egg white into a cocktail shaker.

Dry Shake (if using egg white)

Without ice, seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds. This emulsifies the egg white and creates a creamy texture and foam.

Shake with Ice

Add about 1 cup of ice to the shaker. Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters, reseal and shake hard for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold (or about 10–15 full shakes).

Double Strain

Fine-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or martini glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and raspberry seeds for a smooth finish.

Skewer 2–3 fresh raspberries on a cocktail pick and rest across the rim of the glass. Express a lemon twist over the drink by pinching the peel to release oils, then drop it into the glass or rest on the rim. Serve immediately.
