The September Morning cocktail is one of those easy-going, highly drinkable cocktails that are just fun and tasty. The traditional recipe calls for a raw egg white; if that worries you, you can use an egg substitute product. Rum, brandy and grenadine form the basis of this flavor, with the egg white marrying the ingredients and giving the whole drink a lift, and the little bit of lime juice adding a note of deep citrus.
The September Morning is so named because it’s mellow and warming – just what you need on a crisp fall evening.
