- Prepare your Mise en Place.

- Add the egg white into the mixer tin.
- Set the speed of the spindle mixer to the lowest setting. Othwerwise it might spill over very quick!

- Add ice cubes into the shaker
- Shake for about 10 seconds.

how to garnish
- 3x apple slice, Cut the apple into thin slices and use 3-4 pieces to create a fan shape. Use a cocktail stick or wooden stirrer to fix the garnish onto the glass.
- 1x grated cinnamon, Sprinkle some grated cinnamon over the garnish.
Mixing Tips
General
- Add the egg white always, at least, into your shaker. Otherwise, it might curdle too quickly and will not give the frothy foam by the end.
Mise En Place
- Keep all equipment and ingredients within range. It will be easier and faster to mix the drink.
Glassware
- A chilled glass keeps your drink longer and more enjoyable. Your used ice will melt slower, and the taste will stay longer.

Editor Recipe Notes
The wave of more locally produced liqueurs in the quality of BIO does not stop.
So AERE approached us with some of their flavourful Liqueurs. Those are all made with the Base of a Korn (a type of grain liquor).
The Christmas season is coming, and my colleague Celine Wohltmann created this fabulous cocktail that pleased everyone after dinner.
It is rich in flavor and not too strong. It’s a really balanced and not-too-sweet Christmas cocktail.
