Makes 1 Cocktail
2 oz gin
1 oz runny honey (if honey is too thick, heat it gently in the microwave with a little water - this helps it to be the right texture so you don’t end up with globs of honey in your cocktail)
1 egg white
1 oz fresh lemon juice
bee pollen for garnish (optional)
Put all the ingredients except the bee pollen in a cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds or until the egg white is frothy.
Add some ice to the shaker and give it a couple more shakes to chill the cocktail.
Use a spoon to hold the frothy egg whites back while you pour the liquid into two chilled cocktail glasses. Spoon the froth over the top of each cocktail and sprinkle with bee pollen.
Notes
If you don’t have bee pollen, cayenne pepper makes a gorgeous garnish and the hint of heat is just perfect! Chipotle Chili Powder would be lovely as well.
If you are doubling this recipe, you don’t need to double the amount of egg white. One will give you enough froth for two cocktails.
It says to ‘shake vigorously’ for 30 seconds. This is not the time to be timid, friends! Shake it. Shake it real good.
