First there was Jaffa Cake Gin and we scoffed. And then we sipped and then we started making the most outrageously fun drinks. Now, comes the next sticky step.
Jaffa Cakes must be one of the best biscuits going, if of course you can call them a biscuit at all?
I do because they come in a biscuit kind of pack, and just because it has’ Cake’ on the side of the pack is no reason to call it one.
Plus I dunk them in my tea, and you can’t do that with a fondant fancy, only a biscuit.
A year or so ago someone with clearly too much time on their hands created Jaffa Cake Gin. Thus bringing together two great British loves in one bottle.
And it was good.
Now, not resting on their laurels, or perhaps simply out of their minds on gin, the same crazed boffins have brought us Jaffa Cake vodka.
Pure Grain Vodka blended with oranges, fresh orange peel, cocoa powder, and Jaffa Cakes.
Why not try an Easter Egg Martini? We did and you know what our teeth didn’t fall out, it was actually rather good. If a little messy.
25g Mini easter eggs
1 tsp honey
25ml crème de cacao (or other chocolate liqueur)
25ml Baileys (or other irish cream)
50ml Jaffa Cake vodka
Ice
Method:
Crush the Mini Eggs and tip onto a plate. Brush the rim of a martini glass with a little of the honey then dip the glass into the crushed Eggs. Pop the glass in the fridge until you need it.
Pour Jaffa Cake Vodka, chocolate liqueur and irish cream into a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice and shake. Strain into your glass and serve.
