Our Snow Day cocktail is based upon the classic Gin Sour. Light, refreshing with a lot of character, our version comes with a tangy Meyer lemon cordial and is topped with a luscious snowy meringue and dried lemon. A treat for when you’re holed up for the day!
Ingredients
- 2 ½ oz The Spirit of Gin
- ½ oz Meyer Lemon Cordial*
- Egg white
- Dehydrated Lemon or freshly grated Meyer lemon zest
- Mini baked meringue or fresh meringue if you have time and patience
- Round Snowball like rocks glass
Method
Add the gin, lemon cordial and egg white to a cocktail shaker and dry shake (no ice) until the ingredients foam.
Add ice to the shaker and shake briefly until chilled.
Strain into a spherical rocks glass or a coupe.
Top with a crunchy baked meringue or if you're feeling it, some freshly whipped meringue.
Garnish with grated Meyer lemon zest or a dehydrated piece of lemon.
*For Meyer Lemon Cordial
You’ll need about 3 lbs of Meyer lemons which will give you 2.5 cups of juice and 2 cups of cane sugar.
Grate one lemon for the garnish and juice and strain the lemons into a saucepan.
Add the sugar and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Stir until sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat and allow it to cool.
You’ll have plenty enough for a cocktail party.
