Best cocktail ever!!!


Jellied cube of gin and tonic on crisp lime slice

This is good, really good. -and the meanest cocktail to pull out

1 frozen lime - fuck this bit, i just cut it with a knife
2 oz. simple syrup - i guessed they meant sugar syrup
1 1⁄4 tsp. citric acid
1⁄4 tsp. bicarbonate of soda
1⁄4 tsp. confectioner's sugar
1 1⁄2 sheets of sheet gelatin - i used agar powder
1 oz. gin
2 oz. tonic water
Freeze lime and cut into chips with deli slicer. Coat slices in simple syrup and 1 tsp. citric acid; bake at 150 degrees until crisp. Mix bicarbonate of soda, sugar, and remaining citric acid. Soften sheet gelatin in cold water for two minutes. Warm gin and add gelatin. Pour into a shallow baking pan lined with plastic wrap, add tonic, and refrigerate for two hours. Cut into 1⁄2-inch cubes. Put cube onto lime chip, sprinkle on sugar-soda-acid mixture , serve.

it feels really weird and tastes fizzy cause of the powder, amazingly good.
two other ones i tried from from Heston Bulmenthal were caviar on white chocolate, which was good but a freakin waste of money and stawberry with coriander. Mean.

Weell. That sounds nice man. But what about apple-crumble style cocktails?

Actually, work now sells premix strawberry da-ker-is, pina coladas, and, al's favourite, magarrrrittttas.

Yum.

Anyhow, enough work propopopoganda. Bring on Summer School.
