There’s also Old Tom Gin, which has a sweeter taste.

In addition to London dry, you might see Dutch or Belgian gin (sometimes called jenever or genever), which is made from malt rather than grain.

Any good name-brand dry gin will work well in this drink.

When a cocktail recipe specifies gin, it’s usually understood these days to mean London dry gin-which is also the type most commonly found in liquor stores.

Garnish with a maraschino cherry, if desired, and serve.

Strain the contents of the shaker into a cocktail glass.

Shake vigorously until the contents are icy cold-about 20 seconds.

Once the egg white has become foamy and voluminous, add ice to the shaker until it’s half full.

Shake hard for at least 30 seconds-you want the egg white to foam and create as much volume as possible, and it does this more readily when it’s warm rather than chilled. Add all ingredients (except garnish) to a cocktail shaker that does not contain ice.maraschino cherry for garnish (optional, but attractive).1 egg white, preferably pasteurized (if you double the recipe you still need only 1 egg white-see Notes you can skip this, but the drink won’t look as nice).¼ - ½ teaspoon grenadine, preferably homemade (to taste see Headnote).½ ounce applejack (i.e., apple brandy see Notes for brand suggestion).1½ ounces gin (use dry “London” gin see Notes).It serves one (but it’s easy to double if you want to impress your sweetie).

But if that’s not sweet enough for you, feel free to add more grenadine. I like my cocktails on the tart side, so I recommend ¼ to ½ teaspoon (I usually opt for ¼). I’ve seen recipes that call for anything from a couple of dashes to an ounce (6 teaspoons). The trickiest part of making this drink is decidng how much grenadine to add (to sweeten the lemon). You’re better off making your own Homemade Grenadine-it’s easy and takes just minutes. Although commercial brands (such as Rose’s) offer attractive fluorescent color, they’re made primarily from artificial flavors. You should use real (i.e., pomegranate) grenadine, not the ersatz stuff that liquor stores usually stock. Grenadine adds sweetness to this drink, as well as providing the characteristic pink hue. Egg white gives the drink a foamy head (you’ll find egg white in some other sours too, like the Whiskey Sour-where its use is optional). It’s a sour because it contains citrus (lemon, in this case). Gin is the main alcoholic ingredient (although applejack plays an important supporting role).
