A timeless, silky gin cocktail that combines raspberry syrup, fresh lemon juice, and a frothy egg white for a delicate, visually striking cocktail. Named after a gentlemen’s club in Philadelphia, it’s as sophisticated as it is refreshing.
🍸 Style: Sour / Pre-Prohibition Classic
🌿 Flavor Profile: Tart, fruity, velvety
🕰 Time to Make: 5 minutes
🥃 Glassware: Coupe glass
🧊 Method: Shaken
Cocktail shaker (or Boston shaker)
Jigger or measuring tool
Fine mesh strainer
Coupe glass
Bar spoon
In a shaker, add:
1½ oz gin
½ oz raspberry syrup
¾ oz lemon juice
½ oz egg white
Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds to create a creamy, frothy texture.
Open the shaker, add ice, and shake again for 15–20 seconds until well-chilled and frothy.
Fine strain into a chilled coupe glass to catch any ice shards and ensure a smooth, velvety texture.
Garnish with a fresh raspberry or a delicate lemon twist placed on the edge of the glass.
Optionally, dust with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar for a refined finish.
Dry vs. Wet Shake: The first shake without ice helps emulsify the egg white and create that iconic froth.
Raspberry Syrup Substitute: Muddle fresh raspberries with ½ oz simple syrup for a fresher, more vibrant flavor.
Raspberry Gin: Infuse the gin with raspberries for an extra punch of fruitiness.
Floral Twist: Add a dash of rose water or orange blossom water to elevate the aroma.
Vegan Option: Use aquafaba (chickpea brine) instead of egg white for a similar texture.
Appetizers: Goat cheese crostini, smoked salmon, or cucumber sandwiches
Desserts: Raspberry macarons, lemon bars, or vanilla panna cotta
Occasions: Brunch, bridal showers, or elegant cocktail parties
