Ingredients and preparation of the THOALM Sour

For a THORALM Gin Sour you need:

• 40 ml THORALM Gin
• 20 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 20 ml sugar syrup
• 1 egg white
• ice cubes

Put the THORALM Gin, freshly squeezed lemon juice and sugar syrup into a shaker half-filled with ice cubes. Shake the shaker vigorously for at least 30 seconds to mix the ingredients well and chill them. This vigorous shaking motion ensures that the egg white gets a nice, foamy texture, which makes the cocktail particularly creamy.

Then pour the cocktail through a sieve into a tumbler glass filled with ice cubes. Sieving is important to ensure that no pieces of ice or lumps end up in the glass and disturb the smooth consistency of the drink. Garnish the THORALM Gin Sour with a lemon zestto give the drink an additional aromatic note. The essential oils of the lemon zest not only give the cocktail an intense aroma, but also an elegant look. You can also squeeze the zest lightly over the glass to release even more citrus scent. This makes your THORALM Gin Sour a perfect treat that not only pampers the palate, but also the senses.
