Cocktail Colin says:
The Ace cocktail merges the botanical notes of gin with the sweetness of grenadine and the luxurious texture of cream and egg white, crafting a velvety affair that balances decadence with refreshing clarity. While unusual, the combination of dairy with gin showcases a bold confidence in flavor pairing, making this drink a creamy delight for those who admire a cocktail that dares to be different.

FAQ's
What is the best type of gin to use in an Ace cocktail?
The best type of gin for an Ace cocktail is usually a London Dry Gin due to its clear, crisp, and juniper-forward flavor profile. However, feel free to experiment with other types of gin to suit your taste preferences.
Can I use a different type of cream in the Ace cocktail?
Yes, you can use different types of cream in the Ace cocktail. While heavy cream is commonly used for its rich texture, you can opt for half-and-half for a lighter version or use non-dairy alternatives like coconut cream or almond milk creamer for a vegan option.
How do I achieve the perfect froth with the egg white in the Ace cocktail?
To achieve the perfect froth with the egg white in the Ace cocktail, ensure that you shake the cocktail vigorously for at least 10-15 seconds. A dry shake (shaking without ice first) can help emulsify the egg white better, creating a smoother, frothier texture before adding ice and shaking again to chill.
Is there a non-alcoholic version of the Ace cocktail?

How should I garnish an Ace cocktail?
An Ace cocktail is elegantly garnished with a light sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon on top of the froth. Alternatively, a twist of orange or lemon peel can add a bright, citrusy note that complements the creamy, fruity flavors of the drink.

just made it and I’m really impressed! The combination of cream and egg white gives it such a smooth and luxurious texture. The hint of grenadine adds a perfect touch of sweetness. If you’re into creamy cocktails, this one's defintely worth a try!
