Rhubarb & Vanilla Sour
Rhubarb & Vanilla Sour
Rich, smooth and beautifully balanced, the Rhubarb & Vanilla Sour combines our Rhubarb & Vanilla Gin with fresh lemon and a silky foamed finish. Tart rhubarb, soft vanilla and citrus come together in a cocktail that is both indulgent and refreshing.
Ingredients
- 50ml Rhubarb & Vanilla Gin
- 25ml fresh lemon juice
- 15ml sugar syrup
- 20ml egg white
- Plenty of ice, for shaking
- Thin slice of rhubarb or lemon twist, to garnish
How to Make a Rhubarb & Vanilla Sour
Add the Rhubarb & Vanilla Gin, fresh lemon juice, sugar syrup and egg white to a cocktail shaker.
Shake vigorously without ice first. This dry shake helps build the smooth, silky foam that gives the cocktail its characteristic texture.
Add plenty of ice and shake again until thoroughly chilled.
Fine-strain into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass.
Garnish with a very thin ribbon of fresh rhubarb or a simple lemon twist.
The Perfect Serve
Rhubarb & Vanilla Gin
Our Rhubarb & Vanilla Gin combines the naturally tart character of rhubarb with soft, rounded vanilla and a classic juniper-led gin base.
The contrast between sharp rhubarb and gentle vanilla makes it particularly well suited to sour-style cocktails, where fresh citrus gives the drink brightness while the vanilla helps round out the acidity.
In this serve, the foamed texture gives the cocktail a rich, almost dessert-like character without losing the freshness that makes a good sour so satisfying.
