The Lionheart cocktail, made with gin, zesty lemon juice, and velvety blood orange purée, is full of personality. A touch of sugar syrup softens the edges, while a whisper of bitter liqueur enhances the flavour. Shaken with egg white, it streams smoothly and majestically, topped with velvety foam.
Combine gin, bitter liqueur, blood orange purée, lemon juice, sugar syrup, and egg white in a shaker. Shake without ice for 15 seconds to get a stable foam.
Add fresh ice to the shaker and shake briskly for an additional 10-12 seconds to cool the drink and improve its texture.
Double-strain the liquid into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass to remove ice shards and achieve a velvety texture.
Allow the froth to settle for a few seconds before garnishing with a few drops of bitters or a blood orange zest twist for added visual appeal. Serve immediately.
