Drinks Inspired by Poldark #2

Thanks to Chris Barnard and Red Sangre for the photography and art

 Round two of mixed drinks inspired by Poldark.  Recently I was re-reading Demelza and noticed that Prudie's  favorite drink was actually described and had a name!  Sampson or Sampson with Hair(!)  This is my version, which is close to the original. 

Recipe:

1 jigger Brandy

1 jigger Spiced Pear Liqueur

Apple Cider or Hard Cider

 (hard cider makes it with hair)

optional: brown sugar simple syrup, good with Hard Cider

Garnish with a pear or apple slice

Verity's Cordial is a sweet drink just like Verity!  I thought "what would Verity like?"  She likes to garden and offers herbs for Demelza's garden.... so I chose Elderflower Liqueur and Violet Liqueur.

Recipe:

1 jigger Elderflower Liqueur

1 jigger Violet Liqueur*

I've been told Violet Liqueur is clear now, my bottle is very old

serve in a cordial glass

Aunt Agatha liked her tipple too!  So I picked something ancient like Aunt Agatha-milk punch.  The creation goes back to the 17th c. and is credited to Aphra Behn a female British playwright.

Recipe:

1 jigger cream

2 jiggers whole milk

1 T simple syrup (I used brown)

1/2 tsp Vanilla or a "splash"

1 jigger filled equally with Brandy & Bourbon

Grated nutmeg for the top

Next up Geneva....the experiment is going on right now.  Will report back how it turned out!

Cheers,

Bonny Wise, I am
