Sabot

Love a White Lady?  You might just enjoy a Sabot, which is effectively a White Lady with fizz.  Interestingly, I understand that a Sabot is a destructive tank bullet, and was often the most powerful round to use in a Chieftan Tank.  Although nobody seems to know quite why, it kind of makes sense that the cocktail is named after the Sabot because it is a tad powerful in itself.  

But I don’t know about you, whilst it does indeed deliver quite a kick, that image of a Chieftan tank doesn’t do it any favours.  Anyway, I’m sure these are all ingredients you’ve got to hand, so pop a bottle of fizz in the fridge and get cracking.  

To a DRY cocktail shaker add:

1.5oz dry gin

0.75oz triple sec

0.75oz lemon juice

0.5oz simple syrup

Half an egg white, 1tsp aquafaba or 2 drops foaming bitters

Shake it all really hard, add a big old handful of ice and shake again before straining into a coupe glass and topping with around 1oz prosecco. 

Enjoy!
