Cocktail Colin says:
The Hurdles High Sour is a masterclass in balancing elegance and zest, with the Earl Grey Forest Gin providing a delicate botanical foundation that's beautifully uplifted by the tartness of lemon juice. The egg white adds an enticing, silky texture while the sugar syrup rounds out the flavor, creating a sophisticated blend that’s punctuated perfectly by a dash of Angostura bitters.

FAQ's
What is the best way to shake the Hurdles High Sour cocktail to achieve a smooth texture?
To achieve a smooth and velvety texture for the Hurdles High Sour, you should first dry shake all the ingredients (shake them without ice) to effectively emulsify the egg white. Follow this with a wet shake (shake with ice) to chill the mixture and create a frothy consistency. Strain the cocktail into a chilled cocktail glass to retain its smooth, creamy texture.
Can I use a different type of gin if Earl Grey Forest Gin is unavailable?
Yes, if Earl Grey Forest Gin is unavailable, you can substitute with another gin that has botanical flavors, preferably one with a citrus or floral profile to complement the lemon juice and other ingredients. You might also consider infusing your gin with a bag of Earl Grey tea for about an hour to mimic the distinctive flavor profile.
What is the recommended garnish for the Hurdles High Sour cocktail?
The Hurdles High Sour is perfectly complemented by a slice of dehydrated grapefruit. This garnish not only adds an attractive visual element but also imparts a subtle, aromatic citrus note that enhances the overall flavor of the cocktail.
Is there a vegan-friendly option for this cocktail?
Yes, you can make a vegan-friendly version of the Hurdles High Sour by substituting the egg white with a vegan foamer or aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas). These alternatives will still provide the frothy texture and consistency you desire without the use of animal products.
What food pairs well with a Hurdles High Sour cocktail?
The Hurdles High Sour pairs well with light and fresh dishes such as smoked salmon canapés, citrusy salads, or goat cheese toasts. These options complement the cocktail's botanical and citrus flavors without overwhelming the palate.
