Jean Lafitte

A bright, silky sour that balances juniper-forward gin with sharp lemon and a touch of orange sweetness from triple sec. The whole egg lends a rich, smooth texture and a pale, frothy appearance while a finishing dash of anisette adds aniseed perfume for an intriguing last note. It's a sophisticated, slightly sweet citrus cocktail worth trying if you enjoy creamy sours with a spirited backbone.

  • 0.25 oz Triple Sec Liqueur
