Lemon Curd Cocktail: Twist on a Gin Sour
This lemon curd cocktail is a twist on a classic gin sour...a perfect spring drink that is bright, creamy, tart, & a little sweet!
Servings: 1 drink
Ingredients
- 2 ounces of good London Dry gin ideally with citrus botanicals, I love Fords
- 2 large spoonfuls of lemon curd
- 3/4 ounce of fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 ounce of simple syrup or more to taste
Instructions
- Put a bunch of ice cubes in your cocktail shaker and add all the ingredients.
- Shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds. Taste to make sure the balance is right for your taste buds (this will also depend heavily on the type of lemon curd you use), and add a bit more of any of the lemon juice, curd, or simple syrup as needed.
- Strain into a couple glass (pour through a fine mesh strainer if you don't want tiny ice chips) and enjoy!
Notes
- You can also try a flavored simple syrup if you want, that pairs well with the lemon...some recommendations I'd have include cardamom, basil, or rosemary
