This is a simple classic gin fizz from mid-19th century America. The egg white sounds odd, but it adds a lovely frothiness.
50ml/2fl oz gin
½ lemon, juice only, retaining rind
2 tsp caster sugar
1 small fresh egg white, preferably organic
soda water to fill
Place all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice and shake hard.
Strain into a small highball glass, top with soda water and serve with the lemon rind.
Type the ingredients you want to use, then click Go. For better results you can use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "chicken breast"). Alternatively you can search by chef, programme, cuisine, diet, or dish (e.g. Lasagne).
