Sudachi Melon Sour

An instant classic by Troy Ali AKA @TheLittleGhost. A melon cocktail that isn’t too sweet or neon green. No shade to Midori, but this is about sudachi.

Ingredients

  • 3 drops saline solution
  • 1/2oz Sudachi Super Juice
  • 1oz salted melon cordial
  • 2oz Roku gin
  • 1 egg white

Instructions

Step 1
Cold press half of a honey dew melon. Strain for pulp. Add equal parts sugar to the melon juice and a dash of salt to a blender. Blend on high until everything is combined and the sugar granules have dissolved. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Step 2
Add all of your ingredients to a shaker along with ice.
Step 3
Shake hard for 10 seconds or so. Strain out all of the ice and shake again for another 10-15 seconds to create that light frothy foam we’re looking for.
Step 4
Strain into a chilled sour glass and enjoy!
