Notes
- Variation: Regular orange juice, freshly squeezed, can be substituted for blood orange juice.
- About egg whites: Use a pasteurized egg white product instead of raw egg white to avoid contamination. If desired, omit egg white and top the cocktail with club soda instead.
- Classic gin fizz: Add 2 oz. gin, 1 oz. lemon juice, and ¾ oz. simple syrup to cocktail shaker with ice. Shake with one egg white, strain into glass, and top with club soda.
- Make it NA: Use non-alcoholic elderflower syrup and non-alcoholic gin (Monday is my favorite).
