Bold Botanist Gin Sour

Use 2:1 rich simple syrup for its listed portion.

Select a cocktail coupe and chill it before use.

Prepare the garnish by setting aside aromatic bitters and a mint leaf.

Combine the mint leaves, Hayman's London Dry Gin, freshly squeezed lime juice, rich sugar syrup, and egg white (or your chosen alternative) in a shaker with ice.

Shake the mixture thoroughly to chill and blend the ingredients.

Strain the liquid back into the shaker, discarding the ice.

Dry shake the mixture vigorously to emulsify.

Fine strain the cocktail into the pre-chilled coupe glass.

Finish by garnishing with a few drops of aromatic bitters swirled through the foam and a mint leaf.
