Not Too Tricky

About the recipe
At Fifteen Cornwall, they have a top cocktail man called Tristan. He used to be a chef, but now he’s a cocktail-maker and you can tell from his drinks that he has a really good feel for flavours. He makes a brilliant cocktail using the wonderful liquor that comes out when you stew rhubarb, a bit like the one I’ve made here.
Ingredients
500g rhubarb, trimmed and chopped
75g sugar
juice of ½ an orange
2 shots of vodka
½ a shot of Galliano
½ a shot of single cream
½ a shot of milk
a handful of ice cubes
Method
- Place the rhubarb, sugar and orange juice in a small pan and put the lid on. Simmer for a couple of minutes, then remove the lid and simmer for a few minutes more until you get a thick, compote consistency. Pour the rhubarb into a sieve over a bowl and let the liquid drip through. It’s this liquid you want (the rhubarb left in the sieve is lovely served with some custard).
- Put the vodka, Galliano, cream, milk, ice cubes and 2 shots of the rhubarb liquid into a cocktail shaker and shake it about. Strain into two cocktail glasses. Beautiful.
