Yeah, I had the same initial reaction when I first saw someone use egg white in a cocktail. If you look at the photo, you'll see a nice frothy head to the drink. That's the eggwhite. It adds body and gives it a really nice froth. If you've ever had a pisco sour, you'll know what I mean. That said, I'd definitely go for an MGD right now. My home is devoid of beer at the moment. I'm lost.
I'm out of scotch too. My wife finished it. Good news, my wife loves scotch. Bad news, my wife loves to drink my scotch. Never had Jura Superstition. But I bet it's even better without the soda. Edit: Haven't checked my downstairs fridge, I may have a beer hidden in there. Oh, I just got excited.
The pepper in the second one wounds like a shoe-in with the raspberries. I'll have to try it!
Looks great. Very inspiring for a Friday afternoon. Lately we have fallen into a rut of a Gin and Tonic with a splash of Aperol. For me, I like overproof (>80 proof) whiskey with agave. For example: 3 oz Whisky .75 oz agave syrup .5 oz blood orange bitters 3 dashes coffee bitters
Mix over ice, strain into glass, enjoy.
