The first instalment of our Gin Sour Beer Series featuring @pilotbeeruk Peach Melba Sour, and what a fun cocktail it was to create!
Drawing on a classic gin sour (gin, egg white, citrus, syrup), we wanted to incorporate our own experimental twist whilst using some great local products. Edinburgh is packed with amazing sour beers from a host of independent breweries, so this provided us with loads of interesting flavours to work into the cocktails.
This cocktail comes with a velvet-like texture, rich & luxurious from the egg white. Yet, we have sweetness from peach, tart blood orange, and fresh lifting mint sprigs. Our LDN Dry gin is the backbone of each mouthful, providing a balanced earthiness whilst the top layer of peach melba sour adds the perfect depth of flavour to each sip! 🍹
