Description
This orange Campari vodka sour cocktail is a bright and sunny twist on a classic vodka sour cocktail. Inspired by the classic cocktail – a Garibaldi. This drink is citrusy, floral, well balanced, refreshing, and perfectly sweet tart for an easy make at home egg white cocktail. Vegan egg white alternative included in the recipe below!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ounces fresh squeezed orange juice (1/2 cup)
- 1 1/4 ounces Campari (2 1/2 tablespoons)
- 1 ounce vodka (2 tablespoons)
- 1/2 ounce lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
- 1/4 ounce maple syrup or simple syrup (1/2 tablespoon)
- 1 egg white or 2 tablespoons aquafaba for a vegan option – if your cocktail shaker is big enough you can double the recipe and use only one egg white for 2 cocktails
- To garnish: orange wedge, lemon wedge
Instructions
- Add freshly squeezed orange juice, Campari, vodka, lemon juice, maple syrup, and egg white or aquafaba in cocktail shaker and shake vigorously WITHOUT ice for 15-20 seconds. This is called a “dry shake” or “double shake” method, and it allows the egg white or aquafaba to be incorporated into the rest of the ingredients and aerate to create a sturdy foam before being diluted by ice.
- Add a handful of ice cubes to the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for another 15-20 seconds. This chills the drink and further strengthens the foam.
- Strain into a highball glass filled with ice. Garnish with an orange wedge and a lemon wedge and enjoy!
Notes
If you would rather not use a raw egg white, or are looking for a vegan option, aquafaba (the liquid inside a can of chickpeas) works incredibly well as a vegan egg white substitute! Two tablespoons of aquafaba = 1 egg white.
