• 15ml Fowey Valley brandy

• 10ml Cointreau

• 15ml red vermouth

• 25ml Tarquins figgy pudding gin

• 25ml Manzana Verde

• Foaming agent (we use Mrs betters foaming bitters, but a whole egg white will do the trick)

Method

1. Add all the ingredients into a shaker and dry shake without any ice. 

2. Shake again with ice and double strain into a chilled martini glass.
