RECIPE No. 4

CUPID’S SHUFFLE

I chose this drink because it is visually beautiful, but the taste offers a glimpse of spring without being too floral.”

– Jeannie Weaver, owner of Revival

INGREDIENTS 1.5 oz Hendricks Gin ½ oz Giffard Framboise ½ oz Giffard Rhubarb ½ oz Simple Syrup ½ oz Lemon Juice 1 Egg White

TO MAKE THE COCKTAIL

Fill a shaker tin with ice and add ingredients in the opposite order listed. The reason? If you make a mistake with the ingredients (I’m looking at you, egg white), you’re working the recipe from least expensive ingredient to most expensive. I like to add the egg whites in with the ice to do a reverse dry shake*. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds with ice, and then strain out the ice and shake again without it. Strain into a coupe glass and garnish with a fresh flower.

*A reverse dry shake starts by shaking a cocktail’s ingredients over ice, straining out the ice, and then “dry” shaking with just the liquid so that the egg white can completely emulsify.
