The lovely folks over at Cambridge Gin distillery, who created the exclusive Cambridge Verbena and Rosemary Dry Gin for November’s Gin of the Month, have been experimenting with Christmas flavours and we think this nutmeg gin fizz not only tastes, but also looks the part with it's soft snow-like foam top! Merry Ginmas!
A luxurious, velvety cocktail that’s the perfect balance of sweet and sour, with an indulgent twist which makes it ideal for midwinter drinks parties.
Nutmeg Gin Fizz
50ml Cambridge Dry Gin Rosemary & Lemon Verbena Limited Edition
10ml pink grapefruit juice
10ml lime juice
25ml vanilla syrup
30ml double cream
1 egg white
Soda, to top up
Add first five ingredients to shaker and shake hard for 15 seconds (with ice). Strain and pour back into a shaker (with no ice). Add 15ml pasteurised egg white or one whole egg white. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for a few minutes (or blend for 30 seconds). Strain over ice into a Collins glass. Leave to settle for one minute. Top up with soda – the foam head should rise out of the glass – and garnish with grated nutmeg.
