Method

  1. Fill a shaker with ice, then add the gin, Yuzushu sake,  ginger syrup and marmalade. Add 1 egg white (or use a vegan cocktail foamer) then shake well. Strain into a jug, tip the ice out of the shaker, then return to the shaker and shake again (for a silkier texture).
  2. Strain into a chilled coupe glass, then garnish with dried edible flower petals or a twist of lemon – and a bit of origami if you’re feeling creative!
