As a refreshing summer libation the Midsummer Magic cocktail is a wonderful addition to a weekend dinner amongst friends.
Midsummer Magic
1.5 oz Cognac VS
0.75 oz Pineau de Charentes rouge
0.5 oz strawberry syrup
0.75 oz fresh lemon juice
Half white of an egg
Spray of absinthe
Add all ingredients but absinthe to a cocktail shaker. Add ice, shake, and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Spray absinthe on top and garnish with a strawberry.
Strawberry syrup
150 gr fresh strawberries
150 gr white sugar
75 ml water
Remove tops from strawberries and roughly chop. Combine sugar and strawberries in a container and let sit for 24 hrs. Once the sugar has been infused with strawberry add water and mix to dissolve it. Strain off solids, gently press strawberries and collect all liquid. Refrigerate.
