British Benedictine Summer Cocktail

 25 May 2012   Posted by BonnieF


This week we have given you football and we have given you cricket, but it is British tradition to enjoy our sport with something fruity on the sidelines … so as we prepare for a beautiful weekend in the sunshine, here is a little Benedictine twist on the traditional summer cocktail!

Ingredients:

50ml Bénédictine
6 British raspberries
1 drop Orange blossom water
25ml fresh lemon juice
1 fresh medium egg white
15ml whipping cream
1 bar spoon castor sugar
50ml cold soda water

Method:

– Crush the raspberries and sugar in a Boston mixing glass, before adding the egg white and fresh lemon juice.

– Next, add the Bénédictine and orange blossom water, followed by the cream.

– Add ice to fill the glass, cap, and shake hard for 15 seconds.

– Fine strain the drink into a chilled straight hi-ball glass, which has been filled with the 50ml of cold soda water, ensuring that all the frothy egg white passes through without the seeds from the raspberries or any ice.

Garnish:

Garnish with a single raspberry floating on the surface and a lemon twist!
