The Spring’s First Bloom is a modern cocktail that was created by Charlotte Voisey of New York City, New York. The recipe uses the Gin Sour template and shakes the botanical spirit with lemon, frothy egg white, and a mixture of spring-inspired flavors including lemongrass, elderflower, lavender, and microgreens.
Add gin, lemongrass syrup, lemon juice, elderflower liqueur, egg white, and lavender bitters to a shaker.
Fill shaker with cubed ice.
Shake for 10-20 seconds.
Using tongs, remove ice from shaker.
Dry shake for 5-10 more seconds to emulsify egg.
Using a Hawthorne strainer, strain into a coupe glass.
Garnish with microgreens.
