ABOUT
This cocktail was created by Elliott Clark (@apartment_bartender) and found in his book, “Let’s Do Drinks.” The mix of lightly aged cognac, tart lemon, and raspberry syrup makes for a drink that feels cozy and elevated. The egg white adds that velvety texture that takes it up a notch. Make this one up for someone special or to just treat yourself this winter…this one’s ideal for those Valentine’s Day vibes, or any day you want to feel extra. Cheers y’all!
