The Matterhorn

"With its nostalgic notes of Toblerone and amaretto, The Matterhorn cocktail sums up that Christmassy feeling for me” - Meg Clark, resident mixologist

Ingredients

• 25ml vanilla extract 

• 375ml amaretto  

• 250ml chocolate liqueur  

• 250g demerara sugar  

• 125ml honey  

• 250ml vodka  

• 350ml lemon  

• 375ml double cream 

• 375ml chocolate milk  

Method

1. Heat the vanilla extract, chocolate liqueur, honey, lemon, and sugar on a low heat. Once at 60 degrees, add the vodka and amaretto. 

2. Add the double cream and chocolate milk into a large bowl and then pour the cocktail mixture into the milk / cream. This will cause the mixture to naturally curdle due to the acidity in the lemon. 

3. Once mixture has curdled, place a cotton muslin cloth or coffee filter into a funnel and pour the curdled mixture through into a clean sterilised container. Repeat this step re-using the same filter (with the curds settled at the bottom of the filter). Once filtered, store in an air-tight glass bottle and keep refrigerated.  

4. When ready to drink, pour a 50ml measure over ice in a short glass.
