That\u2019s right, blending. Now, I am not talking about loads of ice and slushy sweet concoctions. I\u2019m talking about the way they do it in Peru for Pisco Sours\u2026 heavy on the spirit, fresh citrus, a dash of simple syrup, egg white and a touch of ice. Then flash blended until thoroughly frothy.<\/p>\n
Flash blending was the inspiration for my Snow Drift cocktail \u2013 a beautiful (and delicious) example made with botanical Martin Miller’s Gin, fresh lemon juice and housemade Cranberry Ginger Syrup\u2026 and of course egg white.<\/p>\n
Batched to make 4 cocktails, this is the perfect recipe for a holiday party or a little apr\u00e8s-ski get together. So elegant served up in coup glasses and garnished with a cranberry and piece of candied ginger on a pick.<\/p>\n
A frothy libation to delight \u2026. like just-fallen snow. \u2013 Kathy<\/p>\n
