I decided to make this because I had some egg white available after using the yolk in a recipe. I have everything else except the physalis (which I don’t like anyway) so i used a clementine slice as a garnish. It’s interesting and I liked it, but probably won’t make it again. I’ll look for or create a variation using something other than gin. The gin is very prominent. I rate it 3.5/5.
