Ingredients
- 100 g | 3.5oz | 1 cup fresh or frozen and defrosted blueberries
- 2 tbsp simple syrup or 1 tbsp sugar
- 4 tbsp fresh lemon juice from one large lemon
- 2 tbsp egg white
- 100 ml | 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp gin
- 2 dashes angostura bitters optional
- lemon peel to serve
Instructions
- Put the blueberries, lemon juice, simple syrup (or sugar) in a glass or measuring jug and muddle with the back end of a rolling pin (or a muddler).
- Add the muddled blueberries into your shaker.
- Add the gin, bitters and egg white and shake vigorously to foam up the egg white. Be careful as the egg white will expand and your shaker might leak.
- Add plenty of ice into your shaker and shake for 30 seconds.
- Strain the cocktail into two rocks glasses filled with ice. Decorate with a slice of lemon peel.

Notes
- If you want a really smooth cocktail, strain the muddled blueberries and extract the juice before adding to your shaker.
- For a reverse dry shake:
- Shake your cocktail with plenty of ice first. Strain the cocktail and discard the ice. Add the strained cocktail back into the shaker and shake again without any ice - this creates a more foamy 'head' on your drink.
