Egg whites were first introduced to cocktails to soften the acid of both citrus and spirit. The result was a frothy and rich, yet mellow drink. Egg white cocktails don\u2019t taste \u201ceggy\u201d because they are neither cooked, nor contain the yolk \u2013 where most of the \u201ceggy\u201d flavor comes from.<\/p>\n
Most cocktails with egg white utilize the \u201cdry shake method,\u201d which is simply shaking the ingredients without ice in order to create a fluffy and silky cocktail. Craft egg white cocktails safely below by using a fresh egg with a clean shell. Or, for extra ease of mind, consider using pasteurized egg white.<\/p>\n

\nA variation on the classic Gin Fizz.<\/p>\n\n
\nA crisp sour from the 1920s, often found at a Gatsby party.<\/p>\n\n
\nA vividly colored whiskey sour variation, and a disco era staple.<\/p>\n\n
\nCreamy and citrusy, the gin fizz recipe originally appeared in print in 1876 and was made famous by bar owner Henry C. Ramos\u2019 version in 1888. Thankfully, the modern variation is a little less labor intensive than the Ramos-required 12 minutes of mix time.<\/p>\n\n
\nNamed after the men\u2019s club where it was invented in the late 19th century, the Clover Club is recognized by its soft pink shade.<\/p>\n\n
