Harrison Cocktail Recipe
The Harrison is one of the lesser-known cocktails we’ve ever talked about here. But while it may not be as widely recognized as some of the more popular drinks, this herbal, citrusy treat is sophisticated and refreshing.
The Harrison is one of those fantastic gin drinks that uses egg white to add a silky, frothy texture. Think the White Lady or the Gin Fizz.
If you’re concerned about using raw eggs – and we certainly don’t blame you – you have two safer alternatives. You can use powdered egg whites, which are really egg whites dehydrated into powder form, or aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas). The aquafaba is a surprisingly good vegan substitute.
Tasting Notes
When you take a sip of the Harrison cocktail, you’ll first notice the gin. Gin has a distinct flavor that comes from herbs and botanicals, giving the drink a refreshing kick. The lemon and lime juices add a zesty brightness that balances everything out.
A dash of Angostura bitters adds a subtle spiciness, while gomme syrup contributes a smooth sweetness. The egg white or aquafaba is what brings it all together, creating a frothy top that makes for a delightful drinking experience. The cocktail offers a mix of herbal, citrusy, and slightly sweet flavors that make it enjoyable for many occasions.
Serving Suggestions
To serve the Harrison cocktail, choose a martini glass for an elegant presentation. The frothy top looks beautiful in this type of glass. For garnish, consider adding a twist of lemon or lime peel on top.
If you’re serving it with food, go for salads, seafoods, grilled chicken or roast meat. For sweets, try chocolate cake or fruit tarts.
