A perfectly balanced and refreshing cocktail that’s perfect on Valentine’s to share with your significant other (lady or not)

Ingredients

• 50ml gin
• 25ml Triple Sec or Cointreau
• 25ml lemon juice, plus lemon zest twists to serve
• 15ml tsp sugar syrup
• ½ egg white (optional)

Method

Add all the ingredients, including egg white if using, and ice to a cocktail shaker. Shake until the outside of the shaker feels very cold. Fine strain into a chilled martini or coupe glass unless using egg white, in which case first discard the ice, then return the drink to the shaker and shake again until the egg white is frothy. Once poured, garnish with a twist of lemon zest and enjoy responsibly.
