Tis the season to be jolly! Here at Craft Gin Club, that means lots of evenings spent with friends, enjoying plenty of delicious food, some terrible jokes, and some incredible gin cocktails!

However, hosting a dinner party can be a lot of effort, so why not take away some of the stress and combine your pudding WITH your cocktails? After all, there’s no need to spend hours slaving over a hot oven to make an elaborate dessert when a round of these delectably sweet, creamy, boozy cocktails will wow your guests just as much and taste just as good - if not better!

And the bonus? This white chocolate cocktail can be served warm or cold - it’s up to you!

White Chocolate Gin Flip

30ml gin
30ml Crème de Cacao Blanc (white chocolate liqueur)
15ml brown sugar syrup
1 large egg yolk
20ml double cream
2 dashes chocolate bitters
Nutmeg and dark chocolate, grated, to garnish

To serve your cocktail cold, shake all of your ingredients with ice and double strain into a chilled wine glass. Grate a little fresh nutmeg and chocolate over the drink, then serve.

To serve your cocktail hot, shake your ingredients dry (without ice), strain into a small saucepan and heat VERY gently, never allowing to boil, before pouring into your serving glass.

This delicious cocktail was created for Craft Gin Club by Patrick Fogarty of Doctor Ink’s Curiosities, an award-winning cocktail bar in Exeter.
