World championship title with this recipe

As cocktail fans may have noticed from the media, Marburg bartender Linh Nguyen won the world champion title in 2022 with this creation of her own. But what is in it and how elaborate is the drink?

 

So the recipe was tried and it's really clever mixed, at the same time a bit sophisticated and especially appealing to the Schnapsunmetal ladies.

 

Linh gave the concoction this number as a name because it corresponds to her height in centimetres. The jury of the "Lady Amarena World" in Bologna found her invention very successful and rewarded her with the world championship title.

 

The 154 is a strong after-dinner cocktail and you serve it best in a coupette or funnel-shaped cocktail spike. These are often used for sparkling wine or martinis. From such a vessel, the lower part of the glass contents runs through the almond milk foam. Delicious.

Preparation

1 Originally, the cherry liqueur, rum, a few dashes of bitters and lemon juice are stirred and poured into the glass. I put the ingredients in a shaker with ice, which I like more, and used half a squeezed lemon. You can also use a slice as a decoration.

 

2 Use a cream siphon (pictured below) or a whisk in a small bowl to create a delicious foam from the almond milk. The vegan milk substitute has only half as much fat (unsaturated) as whole milk and foams up quickly.

 

3 You can also either foam the limoncello over it or carefully drizzle it over the top. The lemon liqueur is important because the almond milk itself just tastes slightly of almonds. Then decorate with the lemon slice or flower / gold dust.

 

 

Ingredients

 

5 cl cherry liqueur (bitter)

2 cl rum (brown)

Bitter liqueur

Limoncello

Almond milk

Half a lemon

Gold dust as garnish

 

The spirits together are relatively expensive, around £90. High-quality liqueurs are recommended, such as a Marendry cherry bitter liqueur and an Angostura bitter.

 

 

If you can't find the rare liqueurs right away, you can also be happy with the common varieties from the better-stocked supermarket. I chose Fiji Island Plantation Rum, Limoncello di Capri, Averna Bitter liqueur and Wild Cherry Liqueur as alternatives.

 

Instead of half a real lemon, you can also use lemon juice from the packet. Almond milk is usually a little hidden in the markets with the milk alternatives and UHT milk and costs between £1 and £2.

 

Linh used gold dust and pansies as garnish; after all, the eye drinks with the drink.

 

154 without alcohol

Of course, the ingredients of the cocktail can be replaced by non-alcoholic drinks, for example cherry juice, Ronsin rum substitute and sweet lemon juice or lemon syrup. Almond milk and lemon can stay.

Summary

The 154 is simply ingeniously put together, as the ingredients fit together perfectly. It is a relatively sweet affair and very strong due to the liqueurs and rum.
