Cocktail

50ml of Henry de Querville Calvados

25ml of Grand Marnier, infused with cinnamon and vanilla pod

ginger beer

1 dash of mulled wine syrup

ice cubes

Garnish

1 star anise

1 cinnamon stick

1 handful of redcurrants

1 slice of dried orange crisp

1 vanilla pod, dried

 

Equipment

Boston glass and shaker

Hawthorne cocktail strainer

Rocks glass

Method

To make the mulled wine syrup, reduce 500ml of mulled wine in a small pan down to 200ml. Be sure to do this on a gentle simmer so the sugars in the mulled wine do not caramelise and burn

If necessary, strain out the spices and allow to cool before using. This can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 month

Fill a shaker halfway with ice cubes. Pour in the Calvados and infused Grand Marnier, seal with a lid or Boston Glass and shake well for 30 seconds
