Friday Night Cocktail

It's Friday, it's the weekend before Christmas and we need no more excuse to mix up a warming winter tipple. This hearty rum concoction from The Churchill Bar & Terrace at Hyatt Regency London is just what we need to get in the festive swing of things...

Winston’s Nightcap

Ingredients:

• 75ml Ron Zacapa rum
• 100ml boiling water
• 1 and a half tea spoons of butter
• 20 ml spiced syrup (which is made from brown sugar infused with vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, star Anise)

Method:

1. Mix together the hot water, butter and syrup in a jug, and stir together so that the butter melts into the liquid

2. In a soda syphon, carbonate one egg white with a dash of the vanilla spiced syrup to make a vanilla foam

3. Pour the rum mixture into a warmed glass so the ingredients do not get cold and spray vanilla foam on top to garnish

4. Serve a half pint tankard alongside a nibble of gingerbread

5. Enjoy!
