Gin Sour Cocktail with foamy top and lime wheel garnish

If you love sour cocktails, and you love gin, then the Gin Sour is going to hit all the right notes. A simple combination of gin, fresh lemon and a touch of sweetness makes this a fuss-free, but elegant cocktail to serve at your next party. 

QUICK TIPS

01
-

The key to a great sour cocktail is to use fresh citrus for a drink that will be bright, tangy and tart. 

 

02
-

Do the egg test: Gently drop the egg into a glass of water. If it floats, it’s unsafe to use, but if it sinks to the bottom of the glass it’s fresh and you’re good to go!

03
-

Shake vigorously to ensure your Gin Sour is properly mixed, aerated, and chilled.
