The African Cherry Cocktail

This is long overdue, I’m so sorry.

So, there’s more to enjoying the African cherry (Agbalumo, Udara, Otien) than popping it in your mouth and enjoying its fleshy juices. That can’t be all.

The curiosity that led to the first cooked meal must definitely have led to the discovery of the African cherry cocktail.
I’m sure you must be wondering by now where the juice from the cocktail will come from, I wondered at first, but now I know.

Without further ado, you need the following for the cocktail:

3 African cherry
2 Tablespoons honey
3 Scent leaves
1 teaspoon ginger powder
A tablespoon of sugar
2 cups of water
1 tablespoon Angostura Bitters (or any other bitters)
2 shots of Hennessy (Optional)

The Hennessy has a sweet undertone to complement this drink but you can it have this drink as a mocktail instead if you choose not to add alcohol.

Method
Wash and peel your agbalumo fruits scraping the seeds and the skin for all the elements of the fruit into a bowl.



In a blender, pour in the agbalumo scrapings, scent leaf, honey, sugar, ginger powder and water.
Blend till smooth. Pour over a sieve into a bowl or jug to get the pulp out of your drink




Stir in the angostura bitters and at this point add the Hennessy and serve your agbalumo cocktail over ice.
