The Versailles offers a sophisticated, alcohol-free take on a floral and fruity sour. Named after the iconic French Castle, this mocktail pays homage to the estate's legendary Potager du Roi Louis XIV (King's Kitchen Garden), where fresh raspberries and aromatic basil were meticulously cultivated for royal feasts.
In this 0.0% creation, Sober Spirits G 0.0% reveals all its botanical intensity in perfect harmony with sweet hibiscus syrup, tangy lime, and vibrant raspberry juice. Shaken with egg white for a velvety texture, the result is an elegant, silky, and vibrant cocktail to be enjoyed without moderation.
Quantity: Approximately 160 ml

Preparation

Step 1

Chill the glass
Place your serving glass (ideally a coupe or Martini glass) in the freezer for a few minutes before starting, or fill it with ice and cold water while you prepare the cocktail.

Bartender's tip

Serving a cocktail in a frosted glass helps keep the drink at the ideal temperature for longer. It’s the subtle detail that makes all the difference between a good cocktail and an exceptional one!

Step 2

Pour the ingredients
In the large tin of your shaker, pour the 50ml of Sober Spirits G 0.0%, the 80ml of raspberry juice, the 15ml of hibiscus syrup, the 15ml of freshly squeezed lime juice, and finally the egg white (or about 20ml of aquafaba for a vegan option).

Bartender's tip

Aquafaba (chickpea water) is the perfect vegan alternative and will foam up exactly the same way.

Step 3

1. The "Dry Shake"
Seal your shaker without adding any ice. Shake vigorously for about 10 to 15 seconds with your Shaker. No Shaker? Buy yours on our website or use an empty jam jar.
2. The "Wet Shake"
Open the shaker, fill it generously with fresh ice cubes, seal it tightly again, and shake vigorously for another 10 to 15 seconds.

Bartender's tip

This technique is called the "Dry Shake." Without the ice chilling and restricting the proteins, the egg white emulsifies much more easily with the acidity of the lime. This is the absolute must-do step to create that rich, velvety foam on top of your cocktail.

Step 4

The Double Strain
Empty the ice and water from your serving glass if you chilled it that way. Use a standard cocktail strainer (Hawthorne strainer) over the shaker, and pour the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer directly into the glass.

Bartender's tip

Double straining catches the tiny shards of ice broken during the shake, as well as any stray fruit pulp. This guarantees a perfectly smooth and silky mouthfeel.

Step 5

The Garnish
Delicately place a fresh raspberry on top of the foam, and add a beautiful, fresh basil leaf.

Bartender's tip

Before placing the basil leaf in the glass, put it in the palm of your hand and give it a sharp, quick clap with your other hand. This gesture—known as "slapping" the herb—breaks the plant's micro-cells and instantly releases all its essential oils. The aromatic experience will be magnified before you even take your first sip!
