Guava slice

• A sprig of fresh mint
• Edible red glitter rim (optional)

Instructions

Prepare Glass with Glitter Rim (Optional):

• Lightly wet the rim of your chilled coupette or martini glass with lime juice, then carefully dip it into edible red glitter. Set the glass aside to dry.

Make Lemon Myrtle-Infused Simple Syrup:

• In a saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water with a few crushed lemon myrtle leaves. Simmer until the sugar dissolves, then let the syrup cool and strain out the leaves.

Mix Ingredients in Shaker:

• In a cocktail shaker, add the Shiraz, guava liqueur, lemon myrtle-infused syrup, fresh lime juice, and egg white (if using for froth).

Shake with Ice:

• Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously until well-chilled and frothy.

Strain and Top with Soda:

• Double strain the mixture into the prepared glass to remove ice shards and ensure a smooth texture. Top with 30 ml of soda water for a touch of fizz.

Garnish and Serve:

• Garnish with a slice of guava and a sprig of mint for a festive look. Enjoy your refreshing Aussie Noel Blush!
