Ingredients

Serves 8
  • Cognac Gautier VSOP320 ml
  • Angostura Aromatic Bitters10 ml
  • Schweppes Ginger Ale1380 ml
  • Simple Syrup 2:1180 ml

Method

  1. 1

    Combine the base

    Add the Cognac, Angostura bitters, ginger ale, and 2:1 simple syrup to a clean pitcher or mixing container.

  2. 2

    Stir gently

    Stir just until the syrup is fully incorporated, taking care not to over-agitate the ginger ale.

  3. 3

    Load the machine

    Pour the mixed batch into the slush machine, secure the lid, and start the freezing cycle.

  4. 4

    Serve icy

    Freeze for about 45 minutes, then dispense into chilled glasses once the drink is smooth and pourable.

Tips

  • Chill the Cognac and ginger ale before mixing so the batch reaches its icy texture faster.
  • Add the ginger ale gently to keep the mixture from foaming over while you load the machine.
  • Give the finished drink a brief stir before serving if it sits in the hopper between pours.
  • Serve in chilled glasses to help the icy texture hold longer.
