CHRISTMAS 2019 - THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS SONG

The Sixth Day of Christmas



Seventh Day of Christmas

On the Sixth Day of Christmas.... ๐ŸŽถ


As the song goes, today my true love gave to me six geese a-laying!


With all those eggs, an Eggnog-style cocktail seemed the obvious choice. This is a gin-based festive twist, served in a coupe and topped with cinnamon and a dried orange wheel. Creamy, warming and suitably indulgent — although thankfully without having to find six geese first!


SIX GEESE A-LAYING ๐Ÿชฟ


40ml gin

20ml coffee liqueur

20ml cream

15ml sugar syrup

1 egg yolk

A pinch of cinnamon


Dry shake all the ingredients first, then shake again with ice. Double strain into a chilled coupe and garnish with a dusting of cinnamon and a dried orange wheel.


A little bit of Christmas in a glass! ๐ŸŽ„
