A booze-free version of the classic Pink Lady cocktail made with apple cider, lemon juice, grenadine, pasteurized egg whites, and sparkling mineral water. Refreshing and delicious!
2ozapple cider, or good-quality unfiltered apple juice
1 ½ozfresh lemon juice
¾ozgrenadine
6tbsppasteurized liquid egg whitesin the carton
ice
2ozsparkling mineral water
2cherries for garnish
Instructions
Add the first four ingredients into a shaker and vigorously dry-shake (without ice).
Add ice and shake until well chilled.
Pour the sparkling mineral water into 2 cocktail glasses (1 oz in each glass).
Strain the mixture into each glass.
Garnish with a cherry and serve.
Notes
Shake vigorously. You must shake the ingredients vigorously in a cocktail shaker, first without ice to emulsify the egg whites and then again with ice to chill the liquid. This will help create a frothy consistency and foam on top.
Adjust sweetness. After shaking it with ice, give it a taste, and adjust the sweetness to your liking with more grenadine. If it’s too sweet, add more sparkling water to dilute the flavor.
Consider double-straining. If you prefer a smoother texture without pulp or ice shards, strain the mocktail a second time using a fine-mesh strainer while pouring it into the glass.
