Instructions

Description: The Saxon Royale is a sophisticated and aromatic cocktail that pays homage to the rich history of Anglo-Saxon England, blending traditional ingredients with modern mixology for a drink fit for royalty. Using mead - the ancient drink of kings - as its base, this cocktail is both a nod to the past and a toast to contemporary tastes. With the addition of apple brandy to signify the orchards of England, and a touch of elderflower for a floral note reminiscent of the English countryside, this drink is perfectly balanced. A splash of sparkling wine adds a celebratory effervescence, making the Saxon Royale a timeless choice for any noble gathering. Ingredients: - 1.5 oz Mead (preferably a drier variety for balance) - 1 oz Apple Brandy (a nod to the traditional orchards of the British Isles) - 0.5 oz Elderflower liqueur (for a touch of sweetness and floral notes) - 2 dashes angostura bitters (for depth and complexity) - Sparkling wine (to top off and add a regal effervescence) - Apple slice and a sprig of thyme for garnish (evoking the English garden) Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the mead, apple brandy, elderflower liqueur, and angostura bitters. 2. Shake well until the outside of the shaker feels cold. 3. Strain into a chilled flute glass to evoke elegance and refinement. 4. Gently top off with sparkling wine, pouring slowly to maintain its bubbly essence. 5. Garnish with a thin apple slice and a sprig of thyme delicately placed in the drink. Glass: Serve in a flute glass, ensuring the bubbles from the sparkling wine effervesce elegantly, making each sip a regal experience. The Saxon Royale is a charming tribute to the traditions and natural beauty of Anglo-Saxon England, perfect for celebrations or as a sophisticated offering at any cocktail gathering.
