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

  1. Shake the ingredients except for the ice (‘dry shake’), then strain back into the shaker and shake again with the ice (‘wet shake’).
  2. Strain into a cocktail glass and enjoy!

Dark and Stormy Cocktail (Serves 1)

Nick, Felix and I have become rather partial to this cocktail over the last few months. It’s particularly good on a warm summer’s evening (here’s hoping!). Made with rum, ginger beer and lime it’s a refreshing, long cocktail.

50ml dark rum

20ml freshly squeezed lime juice

10ml sugar syrup

2 dashes of Angostura bitters

90ml Ginger beer

Ice

A lime wedge to serve

  1. Add the rum, lime juice, sugar syrup and the Angostura bitters to a cocktail shaker and shake with the ice.
  2. Strain into an ice-filled glass (a tall glass such as a ‘Collins’). Top with the ginger beer, stir briefly and garnish with a lime wedge.
