MAHARAHNI
40mls Beefeater 24 gin
20mls fresh lemon juice
20mls cardamom syrup
2 dashes of homemade cardamom tincture
10mls Luxardo Chilli Sambuca
Method:- pour everything except the Sambuca into a cocktail shaker without ice. Add ice to a brandy balloon and swirl to chill. Add ice to shaker when ready to shake and shake vigorously. Add the sambuca to the chilled balloon glass and ice and swirl again. Fine strain through a tea strainer to catch any shards of ice. Garnish with a lemon twist.
Inspiration:- This was a competition entry which was a twist on that old classic the White Lady. This is an Pakistani twist on that classic involving some quintessential flavours of the east... chilli and cardamom. Simple easy to make yet extremely flavoursome.
