Citrus Sour

Boxcar是一款酸酒风格鸡尾酒，将金酒与干橙皮酒、柠檬汁、少许石榴糖浆和蛋清摇匀，打造出丝滑口感，平衡金酒的植物特性、柑橘酸爽与淡淡甜意。20.8%的酒精度，是金酒酸酒传统中烈酒主导却易于入口的代表之作。蛋清为其提供了酸酒家族特有的奶油泡沫。

History & Origins

Boxcar is a classic American cocktail from the early 20th century bar tradition, its name evoking the freight cars of the railroad era that was central to American commerce and culture at the time. Its origin is disputed, though it belongs to the extensive family of gin sours that proliferated in the pre-Prohibition era. The combination of gin, triple sec, and lemon juice reflects the French Sidecar family adapted to American tastes.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Gin botanicals and bright lemon zest with the orange sweetness of triple sec and a faint pomegranate note from the grenadine. Palate: Spirit-forward gin flavor with the citrus tartness of lemon and the sweetness of triple sec and grenadine in balance; egg white creates a silky texture. Finish: Medium and clean, with a botanical and citrus fade.

Pro Tip

Dry shake the egg white vigorously before adding ice for maximum foam, and strain into a well-chilled sour glass.
