Although Leah is not a professional, her creative cocktail to-tal-ly delighted us! 🙂
Level of difficulty – Easy to medium

• 5 cl LAW – The Gin of Ibiza
• 3-4 fresh blackberries
• 1 level teaspoon tamarind paste
• 2 cl tonka syrup (homemade)
• 2 cl lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 cl Fino Sherry
• 2 dashes Angostoura Bitters

Glass – Tumbler

Garnish – Fresh mint, flower(s)

Preparation – Muddle LAW, blackberries and tamarind paste with pestle in a shaker. Add remaining ingredients and shake vigorously on ice. Double strain (= bar-sieve + fine sieve) into the tumbler filled with ice cubes. Decorate with the fresh mint and flower.

Note – For the tonka syrup:

Bring to the boil 1 litre of water. Let 1 ground tonka bean simmer in boiling water for about 9-10 minutes. Then dissolve 1kg of sugar in the “tonka water”. Leave to cool and strain. Pour into a glass bottle, close well and store in the refrigerator.
