Tart and refreshing, this drink doesn't taste nearly as spooky as it looks! Shiraz-flavored gin, lemon juice and cherry combine in this delicious libation.
If you're using a fresh egg, crack it open and separate the white from the yolk. If you're using carton egg whites, shake up the carton. Measure out the egg whites.
¾ ounce egg whites
Add the egg whites, lemon juice, pomegranate juice, simple syrup, Bloody Shiraz gin, and Cherry Bourbon bitters to a cocktail shaker.
¾ ounce egg whites, 1 ounce lemon juice, ½ ounce pomegranate juice, ½ ounce simple syrup, 1 ½ ounce Bloody Shiraz gin, 2 dashes Cherry Bourbon bitters
Shake everything in the cocktail shaker for about 30-60 seconds without any ice. This is called a dry shake and will build the egg white foam. If you like, add a blender ball or the spring of a cocktail strainer to help build the foam.
Add ice to the cocktail shaker and shake about 15-20 times. This will chill and dilute the drink.
Add the maraschino cherry to the bottom of your cocktail glass.
1 Maraschino cherry
Strain the cocktail into the glass through both strainers (double strain).
Fill the clean medicine dropper with more gin and place it on the side of the glass as garnish.
