Happy Cocktail Friday! Somehow we’ve made it to another one in this strange strange time. Congratulate yourself with one (or 3) of this gorgeous Strawberry Rhubarb Gin Fizz cocktail. It’s pretty in pink for those late spring/on the verge of summer feels.
How do you feel about fizzy egg white drinks? I personally really like the creamy, luxurious texture they add to the top of a cocktail. It makes them so fun to sip! Some people get weirded out by it, but I promise they don’t add any flavor (just awesome texture) and you can keep things extra-safe by using the pasteurized liquid egg whites you find in a carton. Give it a try sometime and up your home cocktail game.
