Bloody Gin Sour Recipe

Velvety deliciousness takes perfect form in this Bloody Sour. A simple shaken cocktail that will blow the minds and taste buds of your gin pals. Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin is a refreshing take on a classic sloe gin. Through steeping Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin in Shiraz grapes from the Yarra Valley, a whole new spirit is created that is rich with flavour directly attributed to the grapes’ peppery, fruity & spicy shiraz flavours. It isn’t as sweet as sloe gin, but it is a perfect building block to some of Four Pillar’s most unique cocktails. Like this creative take on a gin sour recipe with egg white.
