Perfect for the adventurous palate, this cocktail offers a journey through spicy, citrus, and sweet landscapes, ending in a smooth, creamy finish that’s utterly unforgettable.

Ingredients:

– 8 oz Ale (preferably a craft ale with rich flavors)
– 2 oz Gin (a botanical gin works well)
– 2 oz Fino Sherry
– 1 tsp fine sugar
– 2 egg yolks
– 1 lemon twist
– 1 cinnamon stick
– 5 whole cloves
– A dash of allspice

Instructions:

1. Start by gently warming the ale in a saucepan over low heat. Be careful not to boil; just warm it enough to blend flavors smoothly.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until well combined and frothy. Slowly mix in the gin and Fino sherry to create a smooth mixture.
3. Gradually add the warm ale to the egg and alcohol mixture, stirring continuously to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
4. Add the whole cloves and a dash of allspice into the mix, stirring gently to infuse the flavors.
5. Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into a pre-warmed, heat-resistant beer mug or stein to remove the cloves and any egg clumps, ensuring a smooth drinking experience.
6. Garnish with a lemon twist and a cinnamon stick for added aroma and flavor.

Serving Glass:

Serve in a traditional beer mug or stein that has been pre-warmed to maintain the temperature of the drink. The warmth of the glass enhances the aromas and flavors, creating a more immersive tasting experience.

The Rumstufian Beer is a perfect concoction for chilly evenings or as a novel treat for gatherings. Its unique blend of beer, spirits, and spices offers a memorable drink that stands out in the world of cocktails.
