Magnusdottir
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.61 / 5
The Magnusdottir cocktail is a whimsical blend that plays on both sweet and botanical notes, combining fresh orange juice with the herbal complexity of gin and the mellow sweetness of pear liqueur. The addition of red vermouth deepens the flavor profile, imparting a subtle vermouth spice, while a touch of egg white contributes to a silky mouthfeel and a frothy, visually appealing top layer. Served in a hurricane glass, it is a drink that both refreshes and intrigues, making it a unique option for those seeking something different from the classic cocktail repertoire. Its name conjures an image of Nordic heritage, perhaps paying homage to the Scandinavian penchant for clean, crisp flavors paired with a legacy of infusing spirits with natural, foraged ingredients.

FAQ's

Preparation techniques icon

How do I properly incorporate the egg white into the Magnusdottir cocktail to achieve a smooth texture?

To incorporate the egg white into the Magnusdottir cocktail for a smooth texture, first perform a 'dry shake' by shaking the egg white with the other ingredients without ice to emulsify the egg. Then, add ice for a second shake, known as a 'wet shake,' to chill and further aerate the mixture. This dual-shaking method creates a creamy, frothy texture characteristic of cocktails with egg whites.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute another type of juice for orange juice in the Magnusdottir cocktail?

Garnishing tips icon

What are some garnishing suggestions for the Magnusdottir cocktail?

For the Magnusdottir cocktail, consider garnishing with a thin slice of pear or an orange twist to complement the flavors in the drink.
