CARDAMOM APRICOT SOUR Cardamom is a highly fragrant pod that is used widely in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine (it’s a key ingredient in garam masala). Because you can get flavour from both the shell and the seeds, we use the whole pods when we make our Cardamom-Ginger Syrup. For an added burst of flavour, we also crush up some of the seeds to sprinkle on top of this delicious Sour. 1 To a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add 1 1/2 oz Canadian whisky, 3 oz apricot juice or nectar, 1/2 oz lime juice, 1/2 oz Cardamom-­ Ginger Syrup (recipe follows) and 1/2 oz egg whites. Shake sharply and strain into a cocktail glass. Add pinch of crushed cardamom seeds (see TIP).
