Syllabub
Not into thick eggnog but still want to try a classic Christmas cocktail? This fluffy snow white Southern classic will get you in the mood for the holidays.
Servings: 1 drink
Equipment
- stand mixer
Ingredients
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 ½ tbsp granulated sugar
- ½ tsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp brandy or sherry (optional: double it)
- 1 egg white
- lemon zest for garnish
Instructions
- In the bowl of the stand mixer, use the whisk attachment to beat the egg white until stiff peaks form. Stiff peaks are when you lift the whisk from the cream (after turning the mixer off) and it looks like the top of a Hershey's kiss. You can also separately beat the egg with an immersion blender and whisk attachment for a creamier syllabub drink.
- Gently add the sugar, cream, lemon juice, and brandy or sherry to the mixer. Pour these in beside the egg whites instead of dumping on top, or you may have a less fluffy drink.
- Beat everything on low for two minutes.
- Use a rubber spatula to pour into a wine glass, and garnish with lemon zest.
- You can make larger batches of this at once, but have ready guests waiting. It may flatten the longer it sits out.
