Instructions

  • In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, crème de menthe, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white.

Notes

Pro Tips
  • Dry shaking for at least 20 seconds helps create a rich, frothy texture from the egg white.
  • Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
  • For a more pronounced mint flavor, gently slap the mint leaf before garnishing to release its aroma.
