Okay so what you gonna be doing, what kind of cocktail are you concocting for us. Concocting,
I'm doing something very different to what we made yesterday. It's called an elder and
pear martini. "Martini" It's not technically a Martini but we're serving it in a Martini
glass and it kinda rolls off the tongue. It's a lovely [...] drink which is gonna be available
in Jamie's Italian's pretty soon for a limited period. So if you're in the vicinity
of a Jamie's restaurant then...Go in there and snack back on this erm, liquid libation.
Wicked, shall we make it? Yeah do it dude! Brilliant, so mixing glass as per normal.
Elder flower liqueur, we're gonna be using Gin and we're gonna be using a pear puree,
squeeze of lime and some rosemary. We'll start with the citrus juice. We're gonna use half
a lime which is around about ten to fifteen mils if you're measuring. Thank you, wow,
getting all kind of scientific with it. There we go. And then it's twenty milliliters of
pear puree, so a big heaped tablespoon. Plus a little bit more. So that's just kind of pulped up pear. Exactly,
that's pear that's been blended. It looks like baby food. It does doesn't it. Smells
good. Smells really good, really good. Just get some pears round about this time of the
year, let them go juicy, a little bit mushy, peel them, shove them in a blender, blend
them all up and that's what you get. Super simple, does exactly what it says on the tin.
And then on top of that we're using the elder flower liqueur. This is gonna be the sweetener
in the drink, its gonna add lovely aromatic spices to it. This is gonna be really tasty.
You cannot deny it is nice. It is nice. That is pucker. Sorry that was a really bad English
impersonation, I'm sorry I won't do that again. I thought it was rather good. Thank you! Rather
good eh. Lovely jubbly, hello. Then as Camille the [...] would say, this is the hero of our
drink. It's London Dry Gin. This is gonna add a nice sort of dryness to it and then
the [...] of this is gonna work really well. So we got the botanical's rocking now. The
botanical's, exactly. Thirty five mililetres of that. Okay. Boom. So pear, lime, err gin,
pear, lime, gin, elder flower. I think the main, the main big flavors in this are gonna be the pear and
the elder flower. And then the gin and the rosemary are gonna really lengthen it and
make the whole thing, keep the whole thing fresh. So we're gonna drop in literally just
a few little leaves of a sprig of rosemary. Nice, earthy tones there. Exactly, sort of
end of Summer, beginning of Autumn, a sort of forest floor, that's what I call it, forest
floor. Stop it. I know. You forager you. And then pack it full of ice as always, the more
ice the better, there we go. And then pop the top on. Do that again! Stop! Stop! Do
that again, I love when you do that thing, just the, aw man it feels like a blur. A blur
of awesomeness. Wicked. Brilliant and then there we go, and then we shake and because
you were embarrassing me so much for my shaker face yesterday, we didn't see yours at all
yesterday. All yesterday. So this is for you. Round of applause please, yeah big shake,
hard one. Okay here we go! Shall I do two handed or one hand. Two hand, lets go two handed,
lets keep it safe. Shake it, longer harder, make it longer harder. Is that good? That's
alright, that's not bad. Here I'll show you how to do it properly. So what we're doing
is we're smashing up all those little bits of rosemary in there that's gonna give lovely...Smashing
the rosemary. Smashing it up. That's a good band name like dumpster juice or hammerhead
sharks are lazy. Priceless. Look at them on the marquee though. And then of course we
need to fine strain this drink because we've got all those little pieces of pear and rosemary
and stuff. And we want it all to be nice and crisp on the palate. Of course you always
remember to chill your glasses when you're using your, when you're using cocktail glasses
like this. Chill the glass, use a straighter. There we go. Beautiful. Lets just put that
down here and garnish is really simple, just something you know that's in the drink, something
that makes it recognizable. A little sprig of rosemary like that. Nice. What do you reckon?
That looks beautiful, can I taste this liquid libation? Please do, that's what it's there for.
Oh man that is awesome dude. That is so good. May I? Yeah well you made it I think you should.
