Fred & Ginger cocktail recipe by Claire Mallett of Catch One in Los Angeles:
“Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers were the quintessential couple of 1930s Hollywood Glamour. A lot of us will be spending NYE at home this year, and watching a Fred and Ginger movie is not a bad way to go. These themed cocktails are a perfect match. The Fred is rich, robust, and decadent. The bittersweetness of Averna and Mr Black mixed with the subtle sweet and salty element of Organic Mixology Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt Liqueur work magically as the spirited base. The Coffee will help to energize you to see in the New Year and the cream rounds off the cocktail perfectly.
“The Ginger will appeal to those who enjoy lighter fare. A variation on the classic Ginger Rogers Cocktail, switching the syrup for Organic Mixology Lemon & Ginger Liqueur that is sweetened with agave and provided a more delicate sweetness. This is not served on the rocks so make sure the Ginger Ale is nice and cold.”
