Vodka Pink Lady
A delightful twist on the classic Pink Lady, this cocktail substitutes gin for vodka, offering a smoother and slightly less herbaceous taste. It's a sweet, tart concoction perfect for those who enjoy a fruity yet potent drink.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Jigger
- Fine mesh strainer
- chilled cocktail glass
Ingredients
- 2 oz Vodka
- 1/2 oz Grenadine
- 1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice
- 1 Egg white about 1 oz or 30 ml
Instructions
- Chill a cocktail glass by placing it in the freezer or filling it with ice water and setting it aside.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine vodka, grenadine, fresh lemon juice, and egg white.
- Dry shake (shake without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white.
- Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well-chilled, usually about 10-15 seconds.
- Discard the ice or water from your chilled glass.
- Strain the mixture into the prepared cocktail glass.
- If desired, garnish with a cherry or a twist of lemon peel.
Notes
If you're hesitant to use raw egg whites due to health concerns, pasteurized egg whites or an egg white substitute can be used. Also, a vigorous shake is essential to create the frothy texture characteristic of a Pink Lady.
