Festive Tipple

Village Farm Marquees • Nov 04, 2019

A Christmas Tipple from our friends at the Yorkshire Bartender!

We're getting into the festive party season this month with a Christmas tipple from the Yorkshire Bartender so thought we would share a bit of the Christmas Spirit! This festive tipple consists of Raspberry and amaretto – it’s both delicious and rather strong, just how we like our cocktails! So lets hand it over to Callum and the Team at YB!

Every year, I produce a Christmas Cocktail for me and the family, a little something to sip on during those cold evenings whilst we watch Christmas films and wrap presents. But for the last couple of years me and the wife have gone back to the same concoction; the unrivalled Amaretto Sour! This cocktail is the perfect festive tipple if you ask me. Its tangy, sippable and has that wintery marzipan taste which makes me dream of Christmas!

This cocktail is super easy to make on the bar or at home and only take a few ingredients and a cocktail shaker. First off we have 45ml of Amaretto, which will throw in the tin, we then add 25ml of Lemon (Roughly Half a Lemon) and 25ml of Sugar Syrup (You can buy this in Tesco just look for Gomme), finally we crack a egg and add the whites to the tin and discard the yolk!

Once all our ingredients are in our tin we shake our cocktail without ice for 10 seconds and then add ice and shake again. We call this dry shaking and wet shaking and it gives us that lovely froth which is a staple of any sour. Finally stain the cocktail into your coupe glass or tip in into a short glass. Garnish with a cherry or flower and finish with a drizzle of Framboise.

Ingredients

45ml Amaretto

5ml Framboise

As everyone knows, the coronavirus pandemic has sadly wreaked havoc on people’s lives in many different ways, including by disrupting major personal events such as weddings.
