Method

Add all ingredients to a shaker. Shake for thirty seconds, add ice, then shake for another 30 seconds again—strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with sliced plum.

Notes

*For the syrup, combine ½ cup sugar and ½ cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a low boil and stir until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. ⁠Add 2 ripe plums, pitted and sliced⁠ and a 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and sliced⁠. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes on low heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Strain syrup into a glass container. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.⁠

For a plant based alternative, use aquafaba in place of egg white.
