hello and welcome to a wonderful cocktail adventure I am Helen and as you
can see we're on location we are visiting our friends Laura and Eddie and
we're so excited why are we excited because we are allowed to visit our
friends which is really cool and the other exciting thing is I am sharing
with you a cocktail that I have created today it's called a silken ink and I've
had a few people ask if that I could make them a coffee based cocktail and
today's the day I'm sharing this glorious drink with you now first of all
there are three ingredients a coffee liqueur though you can use a shot of
coffee either way it's absolutely outstandingly
delicious and the one I'm using today the liqueur though is the patron XO
cafe and it is made in Mexico and it's tequila based and apparently it's not as
sweet as some of the coffee liqueur out there but you can use any one you like
if you've got it at home and as I said you can use a shot of coffee as a
substitute now our second ingredient is a beautiful aromatic orange cordial now
I've made this myself from some dried herbs there's I think there's some
orange blossom some lemon verbena and some lemongrass but you're welcome to
have a little that up there in the corner and then our
last ingredient is vodka and we are upping the ante today with an absolutely
yummy vodka called Royal dragon superior vodka and guess what
it has 23-karat gold flakes in it so we're gonna use that one today but you
can use anybody who you have at home now let's make our silken ink first of all
you want a shaker and I'm going to place all the ingredients into the shaker
first up is our beautiful coffee liqueur smells delish
okay so just 30ml which is one ounce goes in look at that colour that is beautiful then we want
30ml of the aromatic orange cordial goes in like so we have Miracle the cat
purring away in the background today which is really lovely and then our last
ingredient is our vodka and you want 30 mil of your vodka well this is a simple 3
3 3 1 1 1 1 ounce 30 mil simple let's pour in those gold flakes okay so that is
our vodka and guess what yes I'm going to place some ice and were going to shake
it up so nice a handful of ice goes in like so
once again I try and do that don't I once again I've tried to put the penguin lid on to
my shaker but we don't want that we want these lids
so let's shake it up buttercup
let's shake it up buttercup
alright that's a beautiful shake today's glass a martini glass and I have
placed on a lovely garnish and all I've done is a orange slice I dried it you
can use a fresh orange slice and I've just placed a little stick through there
a little bit more decoration my creative soul has to do that and then the really
cool thing about this particular cocktail I'm going to place in a fabulous
ball for ice check that out looks so cool then we're just going to pour in our
silken ink I'm sure it is going to look absolutely fabulous
so let's pour this in over the ice ball
look at that looks absolutely delicious just give that a little shake so that
all the cocktail goes down to the bottom of your ball of ice and there we have our
silken ink I'm so excited the taste test Laura's
gonna run on in and we're both going to taste this wonderful cocktail
together it's gonna be fun I'm not sure how we can achieve it let's do it ready
