Instructions
  1. 1

    Dry shake first

    Add the gin, freshly squeezed lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white to a shaker — no ice yet. Cover and shake hard for a full 15 seconds. That dry shake is what whips the egg white into that gorgeous cloud of foam on top, so don't skip it.

  1. 2

    Now add ice

    Toss ice into the shaker, cover, and shake again until it's frosty cold on the outside. No shaker? Any jar with a tight lid does the job.

  2. 3

    Strain

    Strain into a chilled highball glass. If you've got a fine mesh strainer, run it through that too — it catches any stray bits of egg white and keeps the pour silky.

  3. 4

    Top and sip

    Top with cold club soda and watch the foam rise. Serve right away while the head is tall — this one waits for no one.

Notes & Tips

Sweet, sour, fizzy, and topped with a velvety egg-white cloud — basically a grown-up lemonade with a backbone. The ratio is 2:1:1/2 (gin, lemon, syrup), which is your template for pretty much any sour. Mocktail swap: drop the gin, bump the club soda to 5-6 oz, and keep the egg white (or use 1 oz aquafaba — the liquid from a can of chickpeas — for a vegan foam). You still get all the froth and zip, none of the buzz. Any gin works here, but a bright citrus-forward one really sings.
