Boozy. Rich. Herbal. The flavour profile for our Xanadu cocktail recipe is absolutely stacked.

What Ingredients do you need to make a Xanadu Cocktail?

You need:

Gin

Gin is a distilled alcohol drink made from Juniper Berries and is one of the most popular alcoholic beverages in the world.

It’s popularity is growing year on year, with sales in the UK rising beyond £3 billion per year.

For Gin, we recommend:

Cherry Brandy

Cherry Brandy a sweet liqueur that combines – you guessed it – cherries and brandy.

The flavour profile of the liqueur is rich and fruity, with a strong cherry taste and notes of marzipan, almonds and amaretto due to the crushed cherry stones.

Chartreuse

Chartreuse is a French herbal liqueur that’s made in two varieties:

1. Yellow
2. Green

These differ in taste an alcohol levels.

In one form or another, Chartreuse has been around since the 1600s, being perfected by monks in 1737 and was intended to be used for medicinal purposes.

Yellow Chartreuse is made from cinnamon, mace, lemon balm, dried hyssop flower tops, peppermint, thyme, costmary, arnica flowers, genepi, angelica roots, cardamom seeds and socctrine aloes.

What Equipment do you need to make a Xanadu Cocktail?

To make a Xanadu Cocktail you need the following Equipment…

Jigger

It’s important to get the mix of any cocktail right. The measurements are set for a reason – to specify a tried, tested, and tasty drink.

A jigger is going to help you get those perfect measurements – after all, it is what the pro’s use.

For a jigger, we recommend:

Mixing Glass

If you have a cocktail recipe that calls for the mix to be stirred, rather than shaken, then a Mixing Glass is the way to go.

Why? Because it’s easier to stir and pour the mix, by design. Also, it’s cooler.

For a Mixing Glass, we recommend:

Bar Spoon

Bar Spoons are great for cocktails you’re suppose to stir, rather than shake in a cocktail shaker.

Sure, you can probably use any spoon to stir your drink but these bar spoons are the real deal. It’s the proper equipment to get the job right.

• They’re long enough to get to the bottom of any cocktail to allow you to properly stir.
• They have a twist spiral design that allows for a better grip.
• They’re made out of stainless steel, so they’re durable, corrosion resistant, and easy to clean.

Hawthorne Strainer

If you (or perhaps the person you’re buying for) don’t have a Hawthorne strainer as part of a cocktail shaker set, it’s a great, and incredibly useful, cocktail gift you need in your cocktail toolbox.

The strainer is typically used to remove the ice (or any other unwanted solid ingredients) from your cocktail as it’s poured from the cocktail shaker into your glass.

For a Hawthorne Strainer, we recommend:

Cocktail Glass

This cocktail recipe tastes great, but let’s make it look great too.

Having the right glass for the right cocktail always makes the experience more enjoyable in my experience.

And the right glass is a cocktail glass.
