The TroPrickly
On the moment of writing this part, it is a very hot summer day. And I wanted a refreshing cocktail.
Not too sweet, not sour, no peated drinks and just something that would quench my thirst.
So, after looking what was available, I came up with this fresh but not sweet, fresh but not sour summer single malt cocktail.
Ingredients (for a double portion):
6cl of a light freshwhisky (I used the Goalong Small Batch Single Malt )
3 Prickly pears (Cactus fruit), I used two red ones, one yellow.
A can of tonic water
Ice
Garnish (I did not use any, but you can put a thin slice of the fruit on the rim.)
Tools:
Blender
Cocktail glasses
(Optional: A small sieve)
Instructions:
Halve the fruit and take out the fruit pulp with a spoon.
(I forgot to mention that in the list of tools, you need a spoon!)
Put all the pulp into a blender.
Add 6 cl of your whisky of choice to the blender.
Turn it on and blend untill you see all the pulp has been loosened from the pits.
Now, if you want, you can blend in some ice.
I did not, because there is a chance you dilute the mix too much with water.
Put the ice in the glass and pour half of your blended mix through the sieve over the ice. Take your tonic water and fill up the glass untill satisfied.
Enjoy!
My result
A stunningly refreshing cocktail that is not too strong and not too sweet
It is a very nice cocktail to enjoy on this warm day!
