Gin and ginger's heat is mellowed by smoothing egg white.
This recipe is adapted from a drink created in 2020 by Boudewijn Vork while he was working at an Italian restaurant in Noosa, Queensland, Australia. Boudewijn explains the rationale behind the cocktail's name: "It begins fruity and lenient, but ends sour and spicy. Like you got betrayed, 'a stab in the back'."
