Cocktail of the week with Fabrizio Musorella

Pure Greek

The blender is your best friend to create summer’s sexiest and exotic cocktails. It is not too difficult to use but there are a few basic rules to know in order to get the best out of a recipe. Points to consider include: what order the ingredients should be put into the blender; all liquid ingredients should be added first and should be measured in a measurement cup. Fruits should be fresh, fresh frozen or concentrated and the more frozen fruit used the less ice although some frozen fruits can be harder to blend than ice. All ice is not the same and each contains a different amount of air and will react differently in a blender and is often measured by the glass the drink will be served in, giving a good consistency to the drink you are making. Salute!
Ingredients
4 whole fresh figs
10cl chilled milk
6 tbsp Greek bio yoghurt
2 tsp runny honey
Preparation
Pour the milk and the yoghurt into a blender. Cut the figs in half and spoon the flesh into the blender, add the honey and blend till smooth. Strain into a colada glass. You can add ice but do not over blend not to loose the smoothness.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
