  • Pickled cherry chocolate sherry flip cocktail: a modern pickle twist on vintage hot egg flip recipes using a real free range organic egg, sherry, cherry brandy, raw cacao, rhubarb bitters, pickled cherry brine, garnished with freshly grated nutmeg and a pickled cherry. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Flips are a cocktail using eggs that was once served hot, warmed in a saucepan or with a hot poker also called a 'logger head' and poured from one vessel to another to create a creamy soothing texture - flips were thought to be a good cure for colds. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ An entry for @luciebeck #onlyonedrink ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Make your own cure for the coming cold with the recipes on the blog, find the clickable link in my link tree available in my bio or paste this link into your browser: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://www.peckofpickles.com.au/pickled-cherry-chocolate-sherry-flip-cocktail/ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #flipcocktail #eggflipcocktail #cocktail #picklecocktail #pickledcherries #chocolate #rawcacao #nutmeg #hoteggflipcocktail #moodyphotography #imbibe #drinkstyling #drinkportraiture #reflections #ihavethisthingfordarkness #sherry #pedroximenezsherry #sherryflip #hotsherryflip #cocktailhistory #vintagecocktail #hotchocolate #peckofpicklesblog #makecosyfood #cosyfoodphotography #rozelle #uberbartools #foodfluffer #darktablemood
  • Mandarin pickle Hoop la! cocktail: modern seasonal twist on Harry Craddock's 1930 recipe for the Hoop la! cocktail appearing in The Savoy Cocktail Book, with a mandarin tarragon shrub syrup drinking vinegar. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Hoop la! is a little known vintage cocktail with a beautiful bright citrus profile with equal parts Lillet blanc, Cointreau, brandy and lemon juice. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My pickle twist features mandarin tarragon shrub syrup that adds a punch of bright citrus and anise flavour, sweet-sour depth and a gorgeous orange-yellow colour with a fresh tarragon flower garnish. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This equal parts cocktail is similar to the Corpse Reviver No. 2 cocktail but with a brandy rather than a gin base. The history of the word Hoop la! is linked to the French expression 'houp-la' similar to 'upsy-daisy' and refers to the pick me up brightness of this citrus sweet-sour balanced cocktail. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Make your own mandarin pickle Hoop la! cocktail with the recipes on the blog, find the clickable links in my link tree available in my bio or paste this one into your browser: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://www.peckofpickles.com.au/mandarin-pickle-hoop-la-cocktail-winter-citrus-anise-pick-me-up/ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ An entry for @luciebeck #onlyonedrink. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #peckofpicklesblog #makecosyfood #cosyfoodphotography #rozelle #leichhardt #lilyfield #moodyphotography #ihavethisthingfordarkness #cocktail #cocktails #eveningdrink #imbibe #drink #drinkstagram #craftcocktail #picklecocktail #picklecocktails #pickledcocktail #shrubsyrup #drinkingvinegar #firstweeat #foodieblog #foodblogger #foodfluffer #darktablemood #stilllife #foodphotographyandstyling #hooplacocktail #savoycocktailbook

  • Making shrub syrup drinking vinegar with in season raspberries, lime, lemon balm, low GI cane sugar and apple cider vinegar. Delicious in refreshing drinks, cocktails and desserts. Especially yummy in a pickle twist on Jerry Thomas' 1862 classic gin fix cocktail, standby for the recipe next. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Shrubs are a great way to use up too soft fruit or leftover herb stems and citrus peels.
