Cocktail Description

The Citrus Whisker combines the botanical backbone of London Dry gin with the herbal complexity of Bénédictine, creating a sophisticated sip that balances sharp citrus with honeyed sweetness.

This cocktail delivers a silky mouthfeel from the egg white, while fresh lemon and orange juices provide bright acidity that cuts through the richness of the Bénédictine. Its flavor profile evolves as you drink it—starting with gin's juniper and citrus notes before revealing deeper herbal and spice layers from the liqueur. Perfect for spring and summer afternoons or as an elegant pre-dinner aperitif, the Citrus Whisker suits occasions when you want something refreshing yet interesting. It requires moderate bartending skills (mainly proper shaking technique for that perfect foam), but rewards the effort with its velvety texture and complex flavor. The cocktail pairs beautifully with seafood appetizers like scallops or oysters, as the citrus notes complement the brininess while the herbal undertones add depth to the pairing.
