2/3 ounce simple syrup

2/3 ounce Guinness Stout

1/2 ounce egg white

5-6 cardamom pods

Irish whiskey-soaked raisins for garnish

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a cocktail shaker, muddle the cardamom pods.

Add the other ingredients and dry shake or use a cappuccino frother to emulsify the mixture with the egg white.

Add ice, shake, and double strain into pre-chilled cocktail glass rinsed with Guinness Beer.

Garnish with skewed raisins (that have been soaked into the Irish Whiskey overnight) to match the raisin flavor of Bushmills Malt 16yr.
