This cocktail has a lot to recommend it. It has an interesting history, uses fresh berries and an egg white, and it's absolutely gorgeous to look at and very delicious.
The cocktail dates back to 1880s Philadelphia and it was a pink drink men loved. It's not too sweet and the egg white gives it a foamy contrasting head that looks beautiful.
First, you'll need to make a raspberry syrup, but it's easy! This is a no-cook syrup that keeps that fresh raspberry flavour.
Raspberry Syrup
1/2 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
Muddle the raspberries with the sugar. Let sit 30 minutes until syrupy. Add the water and stir until sugar is completely dissolved. Strain through a fine mesh sieve. Store leftover syrup in the fridge up to a week.

Cheers!
