Cocktail of the week: The Zetter Townhouse Marylebone’s Cocktail No. 8 – recipe

The amount of cola give for the reduction makes enough for two serves, so make more if need be.

Cocktail No. 8 (our twist on daiquiri)

Serves 1

For the cola reduction
200ml cola

For the drink
1 dash Angostura bitters
5ml sugar syrup
10ml bourbon – we use Buffalo Trace
10ml fresh lime juice
20ml yuzu liqueur – we use Akashi-Tai Ginjo Yuzushu
30ml cola reduction (see above and method)
30ml Fernet Branca

First make the cola reduction: pour the Coke into a small pan, bring to a simmer, then cook until it’s reduced by two-thirds. Take off the heat, leave to cool, then pour into a clean jar and store in the fridge.

Now for the drink. Put all the liquids in a shaker filled with ice, shake, then double strain into a coupette and serve with no ice or garnish.
