welcome back to
drinks tube and cocktail request week we are on day three
we're getting through plowing through this we've got hundreds and hundreds and
hundreds
didn't request coming to one-up which has come from fabulous magazine who have
clearly just pick their favourite things out a hat
thrown them together and set us a challenge they asked
for Raspberries cheese and white chocolate in one cocktail
the obvious thing to do would have been
a cheesecake (ey) kind of marscapone thing that we've kind of done that
already
with Doug Armstrong if you have a little look down here on Monday to great drink we had to
think about this quite a bit more we've come up with is a drink called the Quincy
Martini
a drink you can enjoy with cheese and so let's make it
we're gonna start off with this little syrup
that we just knocked up. This is a nutmeg syrup with raspberry leaf tea
and it's very simple to make 1 part sugar the two parts water
a little bit of pitted nutmeg in the bottom and some raspberry leaf
tea bags the kind you can buy in the shops just stirred in and you should come up
with something that looks a little bit like this
its gonna add that kinda nuttiness to nuttiness to the drink
which'll help an awful lot with the cheese so it's 20 milliliters
or two dessert Springs of that. We're gonna use
gin again twenty millilitres or two dessert spoons
so we have our raspberry and we have some gin and that little bit of nutmeg
in there but of course they asked for chocolate as well didn't they
so
Fabulous magazine this is just for you it's a lovely dry
white chocolate liqueur we're gonna add 10 mils of this
so one more dessert spoon
now the bulk of this drink is going to be made up with
I kinda of white bianco style Italian vermouth
we're going to use forty milliliters of this
we just need to stir it down
not gonna shake this drink we're gonna stir it because we want it kind of stay
soft and crispy and clear you don't want it too airated
so you're gonna make sure the drink is nice and chilled
use the back of your hand to make sure its cold enough....That is pretty quincy
delicious that is gonna replicate the flavours of the quince jelly really nicely
hence the name quincy martini. There you go you've got a nice chilled
small cocktail glass here nothing too big you want this to be nice and small so
drink stays cold from the first sip to the last
pour it
very slowly and carefully round we don't need to be to a airated
it's gonna have a lot a body like this lovely
and we're gonna serve it with cheese
rather than with cheese in it
just a few little chunks of this soft manchego
should work absolutely perfectly with. So there you go that is a Quincy martini
Raspberry white chocolate liqueur a little bit of
Italian Bianco vermouth and and a little splash of
gin as well just give it that dry fortification serve with manchego garnished with a
beautiful
edible flower
oh wow that is delicious
absolutely perfect it'll work really beautifully
as an aperitif to go a little bit of cheese Spanish meal that kinda thing
but I think equally well after dinner as a cheese course accompaniment it's got that lovely
fruity
slightly nutty Quincy kinda flavour which should work beautifully well so
there you go Fabulous magazine this is your Quincy Martini I really hope you
like it was a challenge to come up with but I'm really really happy with the results
