The Australian Fig Leaf (Serves 1)
Earlier this year, my son visited Australia. Whilst there, he enjoyed a version of this cocktail. On his return, we had lots of fun perfecting the recipe. I think this will be as good as it gets and believe me, it’s very good!.. Cheers Felix!
30ml vodka
20ml sake
15ml fig leaf liqueur
20ml lemon juice
10ml sugar syrup
15ml egg white
A handful of ice
- Shake the ingredients except for the ice (‘dry shake’), then strain back into the shaker and shake again with the ice (‘wet shake’).
- Strain into a cocktail glass and enjoy!

Cooking has always been something I've enjoyed, I have an extensive collection of cookbooks, some are well thumbed whilst others collect dust on the shelves; I can’t bear to get rid of any cook book, just in case one day I might use it for that one obscure recipe - light on a rainy day!
I enjoy eating out and discovering new flavours, whether it’s just a local haunt or a ‘dress up’ to dinner restaurant - food is my hobby! In my opinion food is the one of the most important pieces of knowledge you need to know about any culture in order to really understand it, so when we go away, it’s not the local sights that I’m googling but the best place to eat!
I'm not one of those fortunate cooks who can throw something together by looking at the contents of their fridge, I need a plan to work with, then I organise my fridge around the recipe. I am however a very organised person, you might even call me a control freak! I love the orderly fashion of a recipe, I find it soothing to have a plan in front of me, so the thought of trawling through my recipe books and trying new recipes is my idea of a perfect afternoon. But I realise that this is not everyones idea of fun, hence the birth of this blog. This blog is essentially for people who adore food but don’t have the time, patience or energy to search through cook books to find that winning recipe – that’s the job of Menu Mistress!
