This family of short drinks was most popular for its Brandy & Gin variations in the United States at the end of the 1850s.Your choice of spirit, sugar, lemon juice, egg white, and seasonal fresh fruit. This is an awesome type of drink and something I often replicate and adapt. The possibilities are endless.
