220g Unsalted Butter
6 Shallots, Peeled and Chopped
2 Cloves of Garlic, Peeled and Crushed
450g Fresh Chicken, Duck or Goose Livers, or a mix of each
4 Tbsp Brandy
2 Tsp Sherry
4 Tsp Madeira
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
200g Clarified Butter To Seal
Salt & Pepper

Method:

Fry shallots and garlic in the olive oil, then add the livers and fry very quickly over a high heat. Add alcohols and flame them very quickly. Throw in the butter that has been softened and chopped into cubes. Add salt & pepper.

Remove from the heat and liquidise thoroughly until smooth. Pour into a pretty pot you can bring to the table, smooth the surface and seal with the butter. Refrigerate.

Serve with a great heap of melba toast.

350ml Gin
150ml Lemon Juice
70ml Sugar Syrup
1 Litre Chilled Champagne or Other Sparkling Wine
Thin Piece of Lemon Zest Peel To Garnish

"I often find mocktails rather sweet and bland, so I’ve used tonic water in this drink to give it a more grown-up, bitter edge. The cape gooseberry garnish is fun and also stops the cocktails and mocktails getting mixed up." - Alice Lascelles, author of Ten Cocktails: The Art of Convivial Drinking

Ingredients:

600ml White Grapefruit Juice
600ml Chilled Tonic Water
250ml Chilled Elderflower Pressé
Cape Gooseberries to garnish

700ml Cloudy Apple Juice
70ml Lemon Juice

Apple Slices, Orange and Lemon Wheels
