Hot warm corona summer days…no bars opened so I experimented around a lot with different cocktails and also seasonal fruits. At first, I tried the prickly pear with a classic margarita template but then also added the cinnamon. This was definitely the total match winner when watching the sun going down the roof tops in berlin, while sitting with the closest on the balcony. I never actually thought about naming that.. maybe this kind of cocktail even exists already.But i think what fits perfectly as a name would be the “Berlin Sunset”
Berlin Sunset
Ingredients
- 30 ml Blanco Tequila
- 15 ml Cointreau
- 20 ml Lime Juice
- 10 ml Brown Sugar Syrup depending how sweet your fruit and the cinnamon liqueur is
- 30 ml Cinnamon liqueur
- 1 Prickly Pear maybe adjustments to sugar and lime needed by the available fruit
- pinch Salt
Instructions
- Cut the prickly pear in half and spoon it into the shaker (attention: these fruits have some nasty little thorns)
- Put everything into a shaker and give it a good muddling.
- Shake it with ice and double strain into some kind of coupe glass
Please note:
- – the prickly pears i have access to in germany are more sour than sweet and are usual orangeish, the red ones i actually saw only a few couple of times… maybe some more lime juice is needed, but the cocktail should def. not be considered as a sour
- – also the cinnamon liqueur i have access to is a very certain one, thats done by a small company in berlin, this may affect the recreation (maybe they do also a shipping to your country https://www.psmberlin.de/)
