Directions
Make the blueberry purée: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, sugar and water, and cook until the blueberries begin to burst, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the blueberries to a blender and purée until smooth.
While the blueberries are cooking, make the strawberry purée: In a blender, blend together the strawberries and sugar.
Transfer both purées to separate containers; cover and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before using.
Make the cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, shake the egg white vigorously until the it's foamy. Add the gin, St-Germain, simple syrup and lemon juice. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until the cocktail shaker is frosty. Strain into a coupe glass. Using an eyedropper, decorate the top of the cocktail with the purées in the pattern of an American flag. Serve.
