"This riff on a classic Gin Sour is light, citrusy, with a dreamy floaty froth of egg white on top. This pastel yellow cocktail is the perfect pretty cocktail. I used Hendrick’s special Midsummer Solstice Gin release, with hints of orange & rose, but any floral gin would work well. Garnish with early wild flowers and let your mind wander to warm breezes and blossoms floating in the air."
