If gin and grapefruit juice is a Greyhound, and adding salt is a Salty Dog, then adding egg white for a fluffy drink must be a Pomeranian! This original from Justin is a refreshing cocktail that combines the tartness of fresh grapefruit juice with the botanical notes of gin, while the egg white creates a luxurious, silky texture and frothy top.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz gin
  • 3 oz fresh grapefruit juice
  • 1 egg white
  • Salt for rimming(garnish)
  • Grapefruit wedge for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. Prepare a rocks glass by running a grapefruit wedge around the rim and dipping in salt
  2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice
  3. Add gin, grapefruit juice, and egg white
  4. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well-chilled and frothy
  5. Strain into the prepared rocks glass
  6. Garnish with a grapefruit wedge if desired

Notes & Tips

  • For best results, use fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice rather than bottled
  • Try a dry shake (without ice) first, then add ice and shake again for maximum frothiness
  • Pink grapefruit juice will give a more vibrant color and slightly sweeter flavor
  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute gin with a non-alcoholic gin alternative or cucumber-infused water
