Ingredients

  • 2 ounces gin
  • 1 ounce Elderflower Liqueur (I used St. Germain)
  • ½ lime, juiced
  • cup fresh strawberries, rinsed and stems removed
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 strawberry for garnish

Instructions

  • Place strawberries, lime juice, and the half lime that was juiced in the bottom of the shaker and muddle together for about 10-15 seconds.
  • Add gin, elderflower liqueur, and egg white. Place on lid and dry shake (no ice) for about 20 seconds.
  • Remove the lid, add fresh ice, and continue to shake for another 10-15 seconds.
  • Double strain into your favorite glass. This takes a little patience because the strawberry seeds and pulp can create a little clog once in a while. Just use a spoon to move them aside on your strainer. Garnish with a strawberry and enjoy!

Notes

*The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) considers it safe to use raw eggs if they are pasteurized. Bottom Line: Raw eggs may contain a type of pathogenic bacteria called Salmonella, which can cause food poisoning. However, the risk of an egg being contaminated is quite low. Please proceed at your own risk and decide if you are ok with this. I have never had an issue.
