Gin Sour Cocktail Recipe

The Gin Sour is a classic, well-balanced cocktail made with gin, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. Tart and slightly sweet, it highlights the botanical notes of the gin while delivering a smooth, citrusy finish. Often shaken with egg white for added texture, it’s a crisp and elegant drink with timeless appeal.
