Recipe: Autumn grimace
Sometimes winter calls for spice. Zodiac bartender Arnie has taken the famous pumpkin spice concept and turned it on its head, taking Pumpkin Face Rum and Mozart Chocolate Pumpkin Spice liqueur and combining them with homemade pumpkin puree and apple juice to create a very adult Starbucks. This is a great mid-winter Christmas drink – warming you from the inside out.
INGREDIENTS
45 ml Pumpkin Face Rum
15 ml Mozart Chocolate Pumpkin Spice
45 ml pumpkin-spiced puree. Mix pumpkin with spices of your choice. Cook down till it's soup-like.
45 ml apple juice
2 dashes lemon juice
2 dashes of saline solution, dissolve two parts water into 10 parts water
METHOD
Mix all the above together and wet shake. Strain over ice into a highball glass. Serve with caramelised apple slices. Coat apple slices with sugar and caramlise with blowtourch.
