Over the past few weeks we have been making World Cup inspired cocktails live in studio. With the end of the group stages in sight we take a look at the nations remaining in the competition and make a very special cocktail for the upcoming Final 16.
Mixologist Robert Caldwell from Peruke & Periwig on Dawson Street joins Tom in studio to make the unique and newly born 'Knockout Bracket'. Made with ingredients from the nations who remain in the 2014 FIFA World Cup this cocktail is sure to make the rest of the competition memorable.
If you want to enjoy a glass of 'Knockout Bracket' you will need:
25ml Cacahca
25ml Cognac
10ml Agave Syrup
25 fresh pomegranate seeds (or 3 teaspoons)
20ml lemon juice
10ml Sugar Syrup
2ml Cherry bitters
Fernet Branca rinse
Ice
And a Martini glass
Method:
Pour 10ml of Fernet branca into a martini glass with ice to both chill and “rinse” the glass.
Mix all of the remaining ingredients (except Fernet Branca) and shake over cubed ice.
Dump out (or drink) your fernet “rinse” and the ice.
Strain it all through a fine sieve into the chilled/rinsed Martini glass and garnish with a twist of lemon peel.
