Berry Pink Lady Cocktail
The Berry Pink Lady cocktail is a fun, velvety take on the classic, combining the crispness of gin with the sweetness of strawberry syrup and the brightness of fresh lemon juice. The inclusion of egg white provides it a smooth, silky texture and a rich foam crown, which improves both mouthfeel and appearance. Fresh strawberries add to the drink’s berry aroma and colour, making it as visually appealing, providing an excellent interplay between acidic and sweet flavours, with a soft, creamy finish.

Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Use very cold, fresh egg whites; room temperature or old whites can separate poorly, resulting in a thin, unstable foam.
Preparation Tip 2
If you make your strawberry syrup, strain it since seeds or pulp might disrupt the drink’s silky texture and impair the mouthfeel.
