Drawing inspiration from the “great Fizz man” himself, Karlos. Sharp, bracing, with a big hit of xmas spice and ginger, this is designed to awaken the senses.
INGREDIENTS
40ml Darling Gin
20ml Brandy or Cognac
25ml fresh lemon juice
15ml sugar syrup
20ml ginger cordial*
2 dashes orange bitters
1 egg white (or 20ml aquafaba)
30-45ml sparkling water
GARNISH
Grated cinnamon
METHOD
Add all ingredients except sparkling water to a cocktail shaker and dry shake (without ice) to froth up the mixture. Add plenty of ice and shake again, before double straining into a chilled highball glass. Remove the ice from the shaker and add 30-45mls of sparkling water. Swirl vigorously to froth then pour immediately into the glass to give the cocktail a nice frothy head. Using a microplane, grate enough cinnamon over the top of the drink to release its aroma.
