Tom started making the martini by making the candy floss. That shadow in front of his hand is the cotton candy forming.
After my whirlwind trip to LA and London, relaxing in Wales with a friend, I did take off and travel solo for a week. My first stop was Liverpool.
There, I stayed at the Hotel Indigo, a brand new hotel that was designed on the theme of cotton which played a significant role in the citys history.
The light fixtures in the fun, casual restaurant are the shape of cotton balls. The mural on the wall of my room was an abstract of cotton threads. And, at the bar, I had their signature drink, the Cotton Candy Martini.
The first signature drink (Savor the Summer with Tequila: recipes) I shared after a trip to Mexico was just a bit of fun. The second (A New Way to Drink Vodka:the Pepperlicious) dug me a bit deeper into the signature drink area. Now a third I think we have a trend here. You can count on me finding and sharing the recipes to unusual cocktails from around the world in the future.
Tom, the mixologist at the Hotel Indigo helped create the drink. Heres the recipe.
Start with a Boston Shaker Glass. Add
- 50 ml, 1.5 oz of vodka
- 25 ml, .75 oz of Black Raspberry Liquor
- Splash of Grenadine
- Couple of squeezes of fresh lime juice.
Get a martini glass and put the cotton candy in it. (He made the cotton candy fresh.)
Fill your Boston Glass with Ice and give it a good shake.
Strain the mixture over the cotton candy which will melt the sugar.
Top it off with Prosecco see how he does it in the video.
And, in the words of Tom: there you have, a Cotton Candy Martini. something to send you into the weekend with.
Cheers everyone!
And testing it. Sweet and yummy.
I knpw that youre curious. Heres my room with the mural of cotton.
