Cocktail of the Week: Pretty in Pink
Stamford Nub News has joined forces with a regular reader to share a 'Cocktail of the Week' feature.
This week, Josh is bringing you a fluffy pink cocktail to keep the Barbie vibes alive, as the buzz around the new film dies down.
The Pretty in Pink is a sweet and sour-style drink that is enjoyable as a dessert - or with a dessert, if you've got a particularly sweet tooth. The foam is made with egg white or aquafaba, the starchy liquid that you find in a can of chickpeas.
We had a chickpea and sweet potato curry last night, so this cocktail was an attempt at using the leftover water in a fun way. If you don't like chickpeas though, egg white will do the same job.
This was a favourite with my partner, so I hope that you enjoy it too.
Ingredients:
- 50ml cranberry juice
- 50ml aquafaba or egg white
- 25ml trip sec or Cointreau
- 50ml gin
- Generous squeeze of lemon
Method:
- add the cranberry juice, aquafaba, trip sec and gin into a shaker
- shake hard for 20 seconds
- add ice and shake for another 10 - 20 seconds to chill
- add one large ice cube to a tumbler and squeeze over your lemon juice
- strain your cocktail over the ice, being sure to shake the foam out on top
Check back next week for another Cocktail of the Week, shared each Friday to get the party started.
