About this Cocktail
The Christmas Cake syrup is adapted from a traditional Irish Christmas Cake recipe. Nutty, rich in dark chocolate, and delightfully boozy—if you love sherry, dark chocolate, marzipan, or a classic Irish Christmas Cake, this one’s for you.
Christmas Cake Syrup
80g Sultanas, 40g Raisins, 2 Candied Cherries, 10g Candied Papaya, 2g Cinnamon, 2g Nutmeg, 1.5g Black Pepper, 2g Mixed Spice, ½ Lemon Zest & Juice, ½ Orange Zest & Juice, ¼ Red Apple, 10ml Caramel Syrup, 1 Barspoon Vanilla Essence, 300g Brown Sugar, 250ml Filtered Water.
Heat water and dissolve brown sugar. Bring to simmer and add all spice/fruit ingredients. Add caramel syrup & vanilla. Stir until mixture is uniform i.e. all powders as dissolved as possible. Let saucepan cool to room temperature and then store in fridge for 2-3 hours. Filter syrup into bottle & label.
