“This is our own Bonfire Night take on that classic drink The White Lady,” Jake explains. “Here we have just sweetened it up a little and added some winter spice by the addition of gingerbread syrup. You can buy a really good one from Monin syrups called Pain D’epices or if you’re feeling a little more adventurous try making your own with this recipe for The Flame Haired Lady from Wandsworth’s finest; Nigella Lawson.”
A sweet and sensational cocktail featuring some familiar favourites such as Cointreau, Gin and gingerbread syrup! This cocktail is sure to warm you up.
Method for making The Flame Haired Lady
Shake this very hard, for a long time, maybe 45 seconds, in a cocktail shaker with just three or four ice cubes. You want to whip it into a nice foamy consistency.
Strain it into a chilled cocktail glass and serve with a portion of home-made gingerbread or a gingerbread man.
A dusting of ground cinnamon is also an optional adornment.
Enjoy your Flame Haired Lady cocktail!
