Organic Orange and Cardamon Gin Fizz

Cocktails Play a Starring Role in The Queen's Gambit

Orange and Cardamom Gin Fizz

40mls good quality organic or artisanal Gin

30ml Freshly squeezed organic orange juice

20ml Clementine juice

5mls freshly squeezed organic lemon juice

5mls sugar syrup  -  make your own with organic raw honey in moderation. We cannot recommend any sugar substitutes at the time of going to press because of negative health side effects.

4 Cardamom pods

One organic egg white

Sprig of rosemary

Method

First, make your sugar syrup by bringing 200g organic granulated sugar or honey to a boil with 100ml water. Take off the heat and leave for 15 mins.

Whilst it’s cooling, ground up the cardamom pods and add them to the syrup. Once cool, strain the syrup.

Shake all of the ingredients in a shaker (or jam jar with lid).

Next, add a scoop of ice and shake again until condensation forms.

Strain into a tall Champagne flute.

Light a sprig of rosemary, blow it out and place it in the glass as a garnish.

Option to top with 25ml quality organic sparkling wine if you’d like a longer serve.  Vintage Roots has a wide and interesting selection including the best wines from Britain.
