In a team we had to create our own syrup using ingredients pre-selected by the instructors. We created a pear-rosemary-cinnamon syrup using fresh pear juice and blending it with rich syrup.

The next day we had to use our self-made syrup in a self-created cocktail. Our cocktail contains two kinds of rum, which blend together and give it a golden colour. Siren's Call - an alluring golden rum cocktail, made by two girls - was born.

FAQ's

How do you properly shake the Siren's Call cocktail?

To properly shake the Siren's Call cocktail, first, fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add 40ml of dark rum, a dash of Angostura Bitters, 20ml of overproof rum, 10ml of pear juice, and 10ml of sugar syrup into the shaker. Since the recipe calls for a cinnamon stick and a sprig of rosemary, gently muddle these in the shaker before adding the liquid ingredients to infuse their flavors. Secure the lid of the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients thoroughly. Strain into a whisky glass filled with ice.

Can I use something else instead of cinnamon syrup in the Siren's Call?

Yes, if cinnamon syrup is unavailable, you can substitute it with a homemade cinnamon simple syrup. To make it, combine equal parts of water and sugar in a pot, add a few sticks of cinnamon, and slowly bring to a simmer, allowing the sugar to dissolve and the cinnamon to infuse for about 10-15 minutes. Let it cool before using. Alternatively, maple syrup or vanilla syrup could provide a unique yet complementary flavor profile to the cocktail.

What is the best way to serve the Siren's Call?

The best way to serve the Siren's Call is cold, in a whisky glass over ice. Garnish with a fresh sprig of rosemary or a twist of pear to enhance its aromatic qualities. Pairing the cocktail with a light wooden coaster can also enhance the presentation and evoke the cocktail's warm, earthy notes.

How does the alcohol content in Siren's Call compare to a standard cocktail?

The Siren's Call has an alcohol content of 30%, which is relatively high compared to the standard cocktail alcohol content range of 15-25%. This is due to the inclusion of both dark rum and overproof rum. It's a stronger cocktail, making it suitable for sipping slowly.

What are some creative garnishing ideas for the Siren's Call?

For the Siren's Call, incorporating elements that complement its flavors and aromas enhances the drinking experience. Apart from the traditional rosemary sprig garnish, consider adding a cinnamon stick as a stirrer or a thinly sliced pear fanned out on the rim of the glass. A light dusting of ground cinnamon or a couple of drops of Angostura Bitters on top of the foam can add both flavor and visual appeal. For a festive touch, edible gold leaf can be placed on the foam.
