Recipe – Mark’s Mark | Nick Strangeway at HIX

 

Mark’s Bar has two very particular highlights – not only is it located in the basement below Chef Mark Hix’s Soho restaurant, but the bar (which includes an astonishing cocktail list) has been masterminded by a legend on the international bar scene, cocktail expert Nick Strangeway.

This week’s recipe is a great example of what’s possible when you combine 1 part top chef with 2 parts master mixologist.

Ingredients
50ml Maker’s Mark Bourbon
15ml King’s Ginger ginger liqueur
25ml lemon juice
5 Morello cherries (you can buy these at HIX restaurant)
2 bar-spoons white sugar
1 egg white

 

 

Method

In a shaker muddle the Morello cherries
 with the white sugar.
 Add 50ml of Maker’s Mark, 15ml King’s Ginger Liqueur, 
25ml lemon juice and
 an egg white. Dry shake (shake vigorously without ice). 
Add ice into the shaker and shake again. Strain and pour contents into a Tulip glass. Enjoy!
