In this gin fizz riff from LA bar the Friend, the sweetness of sloe gin and crème de mûre tangos with the brightness of fresh lemon juice and Champagne for a perfectly balanced cocktail.

Ingredients

1 oz. of gin
1 oz. of sloe gin
3/4 oz. of fresh lemon juice
3/4 oz. of simple syrup (1:1)
3/4 oz. of fresh egg white
1/2 oz. of crème de mûre
1 oz. chilled sparkling wine

Tools:shaker, strainer, fine strainer
Glass:coupe
Garnish:Spritz of Angostura bitters

Preparation

Add all the ingredients except the sparkling wine to a shaker and dry shake to combine. Add ice to the shaker and shake again to chill. Double strain the cocktail into a coupe, top with the sparkling wine, and garnish the frothy top with a spritz of Angostura bitters (the bar uses a blend of cassis and bitters to spritz).
