Last night was “shooter” night, so I invited some friends
over to my place for a couple of drinks. Each had to bring some ingredients
that we could use in making and experimenting with some Truly South African
Shooter recipes.
Earlier that day I had however already made a shooter recipe
called“Melktertjies”. Here is the recipe that I used - Ingredients: 300ml
Vodka, One tin of condensed milk, +190ml evaporated milk, Ground cinnamon
for top. Method: Pour the ingredients into a 1 litre bottle
and shake well, Keep in fridge, Shake well before pouring into shooter glasses,
Sprinkle each melktertjie with ground cinnamon and serve chilled.
This shooter was our “start-up” shooter for the evening.
Some really interesting and delicious shooters followed after this. Here are
some of them:
Amarula B52 – Ingredients: ½ tot Kahlua,
½ tot Amarula Cream, ½ tot Gran Marnier.Method: Layer all ingredients
into a tot glass, Kahlua first, then the Amarula Cream and then the Gran
Marnier.
Springbokkies – Ingredients: Amarula Cream, Peppermint
liqueur. Method: Layer in a shot glass, First the Peppermint liqueur and
then the Amarula Cream. If you add the Amarula slowly it will not mix with the
mint liqueur layer, resulting in the perfect Springbokkie.
Amarula Mexican Elephant – Ingredients: 30ml
Amarula Cream, 30ml Coffee Flavoured Tequila. Method: Layer in a double
shot-glass, First pour the coffee flavoured tequila, Then gently pour the
Amarula so it forms a distinct layer above the tequila. Drink all at once to
taste the combined flavours.
Sowetan Toilet – Ingredients: ¾ Banana
liqueur, ¼ Amarula, Nachtmusik Chocolate Liqueur. Method: Start with
Banana Liqueur, Amarula, and a drop of Nachtmusik
We ended the evening of with a coffee.
Amarula Coffee Surprise – Ingredients: 4 Cups
strong filter coffee, 50ml whipped cream, 60ml Amarula Cream, 8 Marshmallows,
20ml Brown sugar, 20ml Hot chocolate powder.Method: Pour the coffee in large
coffee mugs, Pour the Amarula Cream in each coffee, Followed by the whipped
cream, Brown sugar and marshmallows, Sprinkle with hot chocolate powder and
extra Amarula Cream.
