hello and welcome to a wonderful cocktail adventure where it's all about
making cocktails at home and having fun I'm Helen and today we're making a very
special cocktail for our wonderful friend to Kerry Henwood this one's for
you Kerry I know you've been asking for quite a long time for a cocktail based
on beer or beer cocktail today is the day it's very exciting so I'm bringing
to you my own creation and it is called Kerry's courage so it's so simple this
wonderful cocktail we have four five four ingredients beautiful fresh lemon
juice then I am using a jam in today's cocktail and this is a ginger and pear
jam we're going to get a lovely subtle pear flavour through our cocktail today
and I purchased this wonderful jam at the castle Glen distillery these guys
make gorgeous jam as well as their wonderful alcoholic products it's quite
incredible and our next ingredient is from castle Glen distillery these guys
are amazing I love their products and they're only five minutes away from me I
love it and our last ingredient is a beautiful beer an ale beer and this is
from the Burleigh Brewing Company it's a local beer these guys are down on
Gold Coast in Queensland Australia and it's a really lovely refreshing light ale
that's going to work perfectly with this cocktail so let's make Kerry's Courage
first of all cocktail shaker and three ingredients we're going to place into a
shaker 15 mil of our beautiful lemon juice goes in first like so and then
with our Jam 30 mil we're going to use at the jam so I'm just using a little
measure here using a spoon just to get it all in there 30 mils what we want and
place that into our shaker okay and the next ingredient is the beautiful ginger
liqueur here now you could use a ginger cordial or a ginger syrup I just up the
ante making it into the the alcoholic ginger liqueur and 30 mil is what we
want with this one and we'll just place that into a shaker like so and the last
thing to go into a shaker is some ice
and then we'll shake it up check this out I have this gorgeous new Apple ice
bucket gifted to me from a beautiful friend Jacqui thank you so much Jacqui I
love it so let's place some ice into our beautiful
oopsie runaway ice so let's put the lid on our shaker and
let's shake this up buttercup let's shake it up buttercup
shake it up buttercup
you want to give this a really good shake today get that jam infused and going through our cocktail
there we have it a beautiful shake
now our glass today I'm using a
tulip beer glass and I have just placed on a very simple garnish
I have dehydrated some pear slices and some lemon slices and it just so happens
that the pear slice came out looking like a love heart so we love you Kerry
this one's for you honey so let's strain our cocktail into our
glass now this will come out quite thick I think and we may need to use a spoon
just to get all that liquid through the strainer we will do another pour
because we want to get all that glorious flavors through into our glass come on
there we go go once again use your spoon get all that liquid out perfect then we
have our last ingredient which is the beautiful beer and we pour the beer in
la la let's see if I can pour a beer lets pour in that beer look at that very
nice pour I think Helen I think anyway it's got a big head on it I might have
to let that settle for a minute and keep a little bit more in there
oppsie look at that voila
there we have a gorgeous wonderful fabulous Kerry's Courage cocktail
