Add the butter and caster sugar to a bowl and beat until pale and creamy – this can take around 3-4 minutes. Add your eggs one at time mixing each one until smooth. I enjoy mixing drinks at home, but sometimes I feel like I end up spending the whole night just shaking and stirring and filling up other people’s glasses. So when Fentimans asked me to play around with their mixers to come up with some yummy alcoholic drinks for the festive period, I realised this was how I could get rid of my serving problem this Christmas (and New Year’s Eve)! Add in the milk and Oriental Yuzu Tonic and stir in slowly until combined. Sieve your flour and add in two parts mixing until smooth.
Decorate each cupcake with icing and top with lime slices and mini straws. Rose Lemonade Drizzle Cake I made vodka- and gin-based drinks, together with some fresh fruit. But you don’t have to limit yourself to white spirits, as tequila, for example, will go well with Fentimans Pink Grapefruit, and rum makes a perfect pairing with Fentimans Ginger Beer (although be warned their Ginger Beer & Muddled Lime is a bit on the sweet side). Recreate the classics with a twist such as the Gently Sparkling Elderflower cupcakes, Pink Grapefruit Tonic Cheesecake, Valencian Orange Tonic Chocolate Tart, Rose Lemonade Drizzle Cake and many more. While the cake is cooking, add all the syrup ingredients into pan and simmer on a low heat for 5-7 minutes until slightly reduced. Take a saucepan and add the juice and pulp of the grapefruit, Pink Grapefruit Tonic Water and caster sugar and both sachets of veg-gel mixing slowly until combined and it starts bubble creating a syrup.Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes – test the cake after 50 minutes, but a skewer should come out clean, remember everyone’s ovens vary slightly.
Mix together all ingredients for drizzle. When cooked poke holes in cake and pour over drizzle, allow to soak into the cake, sprinkle with sugar and cool completely. Fill each tin and bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes – test the cake after 30 minutes, a skewer should come out clean, remember everyone’s ovens vary slightly. Add the gin to a large champagne flute and top up with equal measures of rose lemonade and prosecco. I personally prefer using all three ingredients, but a friend of mine preferred hers with more gin and topped up with rose lemonade only. Put the cream, sugar and 1 pinch of sea salt into a pan and slowly bring to the boil. As soon as you see bubbles forming and the cream starts to boil, remove off the heat, add the butter and break in the chocolate. Stir until blended and smooth.Preheat oven to 180C. Grease bundt tin (approx. 2 litre capacity) with butter and a sprinkling of plain flour. Melt the butter in a saucepan and set aside to cool whilst you smash your biscuits until they are crushed and fine. You can do this in a food processor or in a bowl with the end of a rolling-pin. In a bowl, mix together the icing sugar and butter until pale and smooth. Add the Rose Lemonade and pipe between each layer and smooth around the top and outside. Spoon the mixture into tin, and spread evenly. Bake for approx. 45 minutes, until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.
To finish the cake, make the glaze by combining the icing sugar, Botanical Tonic Water and lime zest. Add more icing sugar if too thin, pour over top of cake and decorate as desired. Cover with parchment paper, fill with dried beans and blind bake for 12 to 15 minutes, remove beans carefully and bake again for around 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Add the butter and caster sugar to a bowl and beat until pale and creamy – this can take around 3-4 minutes. Add your eggs one at time mixing each one until smooth. Add in the milk and Rose Lemonade and stir in slowly until combined.Press the biscuits into the base of a 20cm deep spring form tinand make sure it’s firmly pressed down and level.
