Royal Raspberry (cocktail)

While on a recent trip to New Orleans, I was reminded to visit an excellent little eatery and watering hole. The Bombay Club exists at 830 Rue Conti, the North West area of the Quarter. This recipe is for a cocktail accented with fresh raspberries and makes an aperitif quite suitable for any grilled dish. I added my own variation of course.

INGREDIENTS:

1 – 1/2 oz Bombay Gin
1/2 oz lemon juice
1/2 oz simple syrup
1/4 oz of Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth
1 egg white
6 to 8 fresh raspberries
Large raspberry pierced (with a toothpick or olive spear) and balanced on the rim.
DIRECTIONS:

Add all ingredients into a bar mixer cup, cap and shake. Or make a larger quantity and tap blend in a mixer. Serve to the delight of your guests.
