The Raspberry Gin Sour is a beautiful blend of flavors—bright citrus, sweet berries, and the rich botanicals of gin. The egg white (or aquafaba) gives it a smooth, velvety texture with a gorgeous foamy top, making every sip as luxurious as it looks.

For a twist, try using a flavored gin, such as raspberry or elderflower, to enhance the fruity notes. You can also swap simple syrup for honey syrup or agave for a different depth of sweetness.
