Date night with the husband this week was trying a new cocktail recipe: the Gin and Jam Cocktail! I thought I’d heard of everything, but nope! It’s a little strong, a little tart, a little sweet, and a lot DELICIOUS 😜. If you don’t like gin, you can swap out vodka, and you can add more or less of whichever ingredients you like or don’t like. For example, most Gin and Jam Cocktail recipes call for simple syrup, but I skipped it, and ended up with a more tart/strong drink. If you like your drinks sweeter, you can add more simple syrup, or just stick to the original recipe.
Ingredients (makes 1 drink)
2 oz gin (1 big shot) I used @bombaysapphireus
1 tsp jam (any flavor, I had raspberry)
2 T lemon juice
1 T simple syrup (or sweetener of your choice)
1 egg white
Put all ingredients in a shaker and shake, shake, shake! Pour over ice in an old fashioned glass. Garnish with a lemon spiral and/or small spoon of jam. I ended up with a beautiful light pink drink!
