By Nader Akhnoukh

A twist on a classic sour cocktail. The olive oil adds a silky texture and adds a layer of complexity to the flavors

  • 0.5 oz honey or simple syrup

  • 1 egg white (optional)

  • Garnish: Pinch of sea salt, fresh thyme sprig, lemon twist

Directions

  1. In a shaker (without ice), add the gin, lemon juice, honey or syrup, olive oil, and egg white (if using). Dry shake vigorously to emulsify and create a foamy texture.

  2. Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well-chilled.

  4. Top with a pinch of sea salt, a few drops of olive oil, and garnish with a lemon twist and a fresh thyme sprig.
