Eton Mess Cocktail Step by Step Making Method

Step 1: Prepare the Raspberry Purée

Start by crafting a luscious raspberry purée that forms the foundation of the cocktail’s rich flavor.

1. In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and 125ml (1/2 cup) water.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
3. Let it boil for approximately 5 minutes, or until the mixture reduces and thickens.
4. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth for a silky purée.
5. Pour the purée into a bowl or jar, cover it, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to cool. You can prepare this purée up to 3 days in advance for convenience.

Step 2: Chill the Glasses

While the purée chills, prepare the glasses to enhance the cocktail’s presentation:

1. Select eight 180ml (3/4 cup capacity) tall glasses.
2. Place them in the freezer for at least 15 minutes. The chilled glasses will keep your cocktail refreshingly cold and allow the raspberry purée to cling beautifully to the sides.

Step 3: Swirl the Purée

Now, it’s time to add a vibrant and artistic touch to your glasses:

1. Once the raspberry purée is chilled, drizzle about 60ml (1/4 cup) of it down the inside walls of each glass.
2. Gently swirl the glasses to coat the insides with the purée. This not only creates a striking visual effect but also ensures a burst of flavor with every sip.
3. Return the glasses to the freezer while you prepare the cocktail base.

Step 4: Blend the Strawberry Cocktail

With your glasses ready, it’s time to assemble the star of the show:

1. Finely chop 4 strawberries and set them aside for garnish.
2. Halve the remaining strawberries and place them in a blender along with 4 cups of ice, Baileys Irish Cream, strawberry liqueur, and the remaining raspberry purée.
3. Blend the mixture until smooth and slushy. The result should be a creamy, fruity base with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.

Step 5: Assemble the Cocktail

The final step is all about layering flavors and textures to recreate the essence of Eton Mess:

1. Pour the blended strawberry mixture into the prepared glasses, filling each to just below the rim.
2. Top each cocktail with a handful of mini marshmallows and mini meringues for a delightful crunch and sweetness.
3. Scatter the chopped strawberries over the top for added freshness.
4. Garnish with mint leaves for a burst of color and a subtle herbal aroma.
5. Thread the extra raspberries onto cocktail skewers and place one in each glass to serve as swizzle sticks.

Serving Tips

This cocktail is best served immediately to enjoy its frosty texture and vibrant flavors. For an added festive touch, you can rim the glasses with crushed meringue or sugar before swirling in the purée.

Recipe Notes

• The raspberry purée can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• To speed up the chilling process, place the purée in the freezer for 10-15 minutes instead of the fridge.
