Hometown Hero Challenge cocktail: Sour Said The Fox

Glassware: Guksi
Garnish: Pickled rowan berries.
30ml PATRÓN Silver
15ml Benedictine DOM
5ml Galliano L'Autentico
25ml Verjus
25ml Rowanberry Cordial*
Inspiration: Sour Said the Fox comes from one of Jayde's first memories of Sweden. One day after football practice, Jayde picked a berry from a tree. It was a rowanberry, a berry that is notorious for being very sour. The cocktail is an echo of this memory utilising the sourness of the rowan-berry, introducing vanilla tones to create an element of nostalgia and served in a Swedish guksi. This cocktail invites you to a trip down memory lane.

Rowanberry Cordial
500g Rowan-Berries
1L Water
200g Sugar
Put the berries into a large freezer bag and use a rolling pin to mash the berries. Then transfer to a pot and add 500ml of water. Bring to a boil and let reduce to half. Then add the rest of the water to the pot and let reduce again until there is 500ml of liquid. Let cool and filter through a cheesecloth. Then combine the sugar with the liquid until sugar is fully dissolved.
