Coral Casemore-Hills has entered a very exciting cocktail competition, and her entry will be featured on our menu The Hand & Flowers for this week! 🍸
A little bit behind the cocktail from Coral...
“I wanted to do a Caribbean twist on this one due to my visit to some of their islands earlier this year, My secret ingredient given to me for this competition is Cardamom Seeds, so I made my own syrup and am using that instead of the classic Agave and decided to make a Tommys style margarita!
For my syrup:
Put 6x table spoons of caster sugar in a small pan with 500ml fresh orange juice and 1 vanilla pod. Bring to the boil and then simmer to reduce down.
For My Salt Rim:
I blitzed my Caribbean salt rocks with split cardamom pods to make my Cardamom salt for the rim.
The Method:
40ml Coconut Tequila
35ml Cointreau
30ml Orange and Cardamom Syrup
1/2 Fresh Lime Juiced
A pinch of Cardamom Seeds
