Note: A native of the Pacific Northwest, huckleberrys are similar to the blueberry with a taste ranging from tart to sweet.

Fresh Sour Mix

1/2 egg white (optional)

To prepare the simple syrup, bring 2/3 cup sugar and 1 cup water to a boil. Remove from the heat and cool completely.

Combine the lemon juice, egg white, and simple syrup in a jar. Cover and shake well.

Cocktail

fine sieve such as a chinois
ice
