Frosted Raspberry Sour
The Frosted Raspberry Sour is a delightful pre-Prohibition libation featuring the crisp notes of gin, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and a homemade raspberry syrup, best prepared a few hours in advance. This classic cocktail is given a modern twist with the addition of elderflower liqueur for a hint of floral sweetness, and the egg white creates a luxurious, meringue-like texture. It's a refreshing and elegant sip perfect for any occasion.
