Our New Collaboration
Introducing our new collaboration with Brown’s Giftware in Lossiemouth
Make this Christmas Spiced Pear Syrup before guests arrive – to be honest, I would batch all cocktails before visitors arrive as it’s less faff giving you more time to chat & drink! BUT the secret to the festive feel is the Spiced Pear Syrup. This syrup can be used for giving a festive tone to your coffee, hot chocolate, and non-alcoholic drinks. Additionally, the infused Pears can be used for cheese boards with blue cheese & oatcakes, topping for cheesecakes and our favourite – Porridge toppers!
From just one Cocktail you have several elements of a great menu. Our local bakers in Macleans, Forres have perfect cocktail-size oatcakes (available from our Distillery Shop) which I would add some Scottish blue cheese and finish with a sliver of the infused pear. We also top a plain cheesecake with slices of pear with a…Sprinkle of edible gold leaf!
Spiced Pear Syrup – water, sugar, star anise, cardamom pod and a tin of pears. I leave the pears as halves or quarters because I’ll cut to suit the end-use. Put all your ingredients in a pan and take to simmering heat for 5 mins until the sugar is fully dissolved. Sieve the liquid into a clean-empty glass bottle, allow to cool and store in the fridge. Put the pears in a lidded container and again store them in the fridge. Both can be stored for 7-10days. Add a spoon of syrup to your morning coffee, you’ll skip out that door like a proper elf!
