Ingredients:
- 50ml of Shenanigan Red gin (the magical potion)…Use Shenanigan Blue if you are truly in that Friday mood.
- 25ml fresh lemon juice (squeezed sunshine)…more if your still treating your scurvy breakout.
- 20ml of simple syrup (sugar and water’s love child)
- 1 egg white (optional, for a frothy cloud)
- Soda water (fizzy lifeblood)
- Ice (cold as your ex’s heart)
- Lemon slice or twist (a zesty hat)
- Maraschino cherry (a red jewel)
Instructions:
- Chill Your Glass: Toss your highball glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water. We want it as frosty as a creepy uncles handshake.
- Mix It Good: In a cocktail shaker, unite the gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white (if you’re feeling frothy).
- Dry Shake: Seal that shaker and give it a vigorous shake for 10-15 seconds. No ice allowed! This is where the frothy magic happens.
- Add Ice and Shake Again: Now, toss in some ice cubes and shake it like a maraca at the fiesta in Mexico that you have never been to for another 15 seconds. Get it nice and chilly.
- Strain and Serve: Kick out the ice from your now chilled glass and pour in the magical elixir.
- Fizzy Finish: Top off your concoction with the soda water. Start with a little, taste, and add more until it’s just right for you and your impatient taste buds.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Crown your drink with a lemon slice or twist and a maraschino cherry. Admire your creation, then sip and savour the fizzy fun making sure you display the expected puckering of lips to all those around you.
Tips for Extra Fun:
- Flavour Twists: Splash in some flavoured syrup, like lavender or elderflower, for a twist that’ll make your taste buds dance.
- Herbal Touch: Pop in a sprig of fresh herbs like mint or rosemary for an aromatic delight.
- Fruit Variations: Swap out the lemon juice for lime juice for a zesty alternative.
