Add A Little Italian Sparkle To Christmas Parties


Newly launched for Christmas, Sprizzato is a delicious and versatile new aperitivo drink that's the ideal ingredient for festive cocktails and is the perfect alternative to Champagne this party season.

Traditional Italian bitters drinks date from Golden Era Italy, and the classic spritz is currently undergoing a huge revival of popularity across the UK as Brits embrace the European love of this pre-dinner drink, with a huge number of dedicated Aperitivo bars and restaurants opening across the capital.
Created by a small and passionate Anglo-Italian team, Sprizzato is a bitter-sweet orange-infused libation, made to a traditional recipe and still distilled in the old-fashioned way with macerated oranges, botanicals and rhubarb using local ingredients from Padua. Sitting somewhere in between Campari and Aperol, less bitter than the former but slightly more so than the latter, Sprizzato is a boutique alternative to more these more standard offerings.
A 'spritz' made with Sprizzato, Prosecco, ice and a dash of soda water is the classic Italian aperitivo, and a fabulous and inexpensive champagne cocktail for any celebration. For a dinner party with a difference, Sprizzato is perfect when served with tiny morsels of 'cichetti' - the italian version of tapas, or alongside home-cooked Mediterranean dishes and a soundtrack of the 1950s and 1960s lounge music.
Sprizzato is also incredibly versatile as a cocktail ingredient. Unusual Negronis, and Sprizzato martinis are all perfect for mixing up to serve at Christmas and New Year parties, and a healthy measure poured into mulled wine is a different twist to this classic.
This festive spiced Flippato cocktail is delicious citrusy alternative to egg nog, and has been specially created by Alessandro Paludet at the Central & Co bar on Great Marlborough St:

75ml Sprizzato15ml (1) egg yolk10ml sugar syrup
Add all ingredients into a shaker, dry shake together
Add ice and shake again

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
