Egg whites are shaken into this gin-based sour, where they take on an airy, velvety texture.
Ingredients
Makes 12 servings
Combine 2 1/4 cups London dry gin, 1 cup fresh lemon juice, and 3/4 cup Grand Marnier in a large pitcher; chill until very cold, at least 2 hours and up to 1 day. Mix 4 large egg whites* in a small jar; chill until cold. For each cocktail, shake 2 1/2 ounces gin mixture, 1/2 ounces egg white, and 1 teaspoon orange marmalade in a cocktail shaker until very frothy, about 1 minute. Fill with ice; shake until outside is frosty, about 30 seconds. Strain into coupe glass.

Back to TopThese are delicious. I converted the recipe to a single drink proportion and served on the rocks.

Neither my husband or I liked this cocktail. The upside was the nice subtle froth that the egg white lent, and that it is served as ice cold as possible. But we were disappointed in flavor. I get that "sour" is in the name of the drink, but this was so sour that it lacked balance. We don't need cocktails to be sugary, and I hoped that the Grand Marnier and the marmalade would be just enough to stand up to the lemon, but no. Aside from the sourness, the flavors of gin mixed with those orangey floral notes sounded great on paper, but we thought it ended up tasting medicinal. I used Aviation Gin, which is a decent local gin. I guess it's possible, but I doubt that using the proper London Dry gin (as called for) would have been enough to turn this cocktail around.

While the first sip is a little over powering, it so grows on you! Made a batch for the start to a dinner party. They certainly got the conversation flowing.
