Slivovitz is a colorless plum brandy, usually made from Mirabelle and Switzen plums. It is usually drunk straight, but can add a fruity note to cocktails. If it is not available, you could substitute apricot, peach or cherry brandy- all fruits from the same family- but the cocktail will not look or taste quite the same.
INGREDIENT:
4-6 cracked ice cubes
Dash of sugar syrup
1 measure Slivovitz
1 measure apple brandy
1 measure gin
1 measure orange juice
METHOD:
1. Put the ice cubes into the cocktail shaker.
2. Dash the sugar syrup over ice and pour in the slivovitz, apple brandy, gin and orange juice. Shake vigorously until a frost forms.
3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
