Fever tree

After Dominique Persoone’s Rock ’n Roll Gin & Tonic I now also share with you the recipe of coffee maker Eveline’s Hinky Pinky Robby Gin & Tonic creation.

Ingredients:

Bombay Sapphire,
Tonic (Fever-Tree Mediterranean),
Red caster sugar,
Pure Fruit & Hibiscus tea,
Rose pepper,
Rosemary,
Chives in bloom,
Orange thyme,
Sage in bloom,
Lemon zest.

Get Started:

Make a day upfront a Pure Fuit & Hibiscus tea, let it cool and make ice cubes from them OR , as Eveline did, make 1 big ice cube using a tea holder (in this case Robby).

Rub a lime wedge on the rim of a glass (preferably a burgundy glass) and dip it the rim in red caster sugar.
Put 1 ice cube you made in the glass and top it with transparant ice cube, add the lemon zest, 5cl Bombay Sapphire and top with tonic

Garnish with some the fresh blooming herbs, rose pepper and if wanted some red fruits.

If you don’t feel like making these Gin & Tonic’s yourself you can still taste the @Imagin.

As promised in my Gin &Tonic revisited blogpost I now share with you the recipe of the Rock ‘n roll Gin & Tonic version by chocolatier Domique Persoone. A must drink for the chocoholics!!

Ingredients:

Bombay Sapphire East,
Tonic (Fever-Tree Mediterranean),
Angostura,
Cacao beans,
Offley Tawny Porto,
1 egg white,
Paprika powder,
Cacao powder,
Pure chocolate,
Ice cubes

Get Started:

Pour a teaspoon of angostura in your glass, thrown in 1ice cube and waltz it in the glass for a few minutes and empty the glass.
Put 2 tbsp. of roasted cacao beans in a small casserole.

Add 3 cl Bombay Sapphire East and pour over the beans. Flambé it and let the liquid reduce until it has halved. When flame is out add another 3 cl of gin and strain the mass through a fine sieve in a cocktail shaker.

Add 1 tbsp* Tawny Porto, the egg white of 1 egg, 1 tsp** smoked paprika powder and 1 tbsp* of bitter cacao powder. Whisk this mass with molinillo (Mexican wooden whisk) or regular whisk in case you don’t have a molinillo until a lovely foam layer appears (the egg white will make the drink very airy).
