Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 20 grams caster sugar
  • 75 millilitres milk
  • 40 millilitres double cream
  • 250 millilitres vodka
  • 50 millilitres kirsch
  • 100 grams rhubarb

Instruction

  • Begin by whisking together the egg yolk and the caster sugar until pale, thick and creamy.
  • Next, heat the milk and cream together in a heavy bottomed saucepan.
  • When the milk and cream mixture reaches boiling point, add a splash to the egg mixture and whisk.
  • Slowly add the remaining milk and cream mixture to the eggs whisking continuously.
  • Transfer the mix back to the saucepan and cook on a moderate heat until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Leave this to cool before making the remaining components of the cocktail.
  • Next, add the vodka, kirsch and rhubarb to the whipping chamber of the cream whipper.
  • Charge the whipper with two nitrous oxide canisters and leave to sit for 60 seconds.
  • Keeping the cream whipper upright, release the gas.
  • Pour the infused vodka (discarding the rhubarb) into martini glasses (roughly 50ml per glass, or halfway up the edge of the glass.)
  • Rinse your cream whipper before adding the custard to the whipping chamber.
  • Again, charge with two nitrous oxide canisters and shake for 60 seconds.
  • Turn the cream whipper upside down and, gently pressing the trigger, dispense the whipped custard on to the top of the rhubarb vodka creating a second layer to the cocktail.
  • Top the cocktails with pink sugar or sprinkles and enjoy!
