When it comes to refreshing beverages, one standout option at Swift Shoreditch is an innovative twist on a classic: a unique half cocktail, half ice cream creation that embodies the essence of a kind of alcoholic cream soda. We recently spoke with Emilie Loiselle, a member of the Swift team, to dive deeper into this delightful concoction.
“This drink is a favorite among the staff,” Emilie shares, noting that its inspiration comes from the beloved Campino strawberry and yogurt sweets, which, unfortunately, have been discontinued in the UK. “It’s like a fresh and fluffy hug in a glass, perfect for adding a little joy to any occasion.”
So, are you eager to try this delightful drink yourself? Here’s how to whip up the Campino, which serves one:
**Ingredients:**
– 2 ripe strawberries, hulled (plus 1 thin slice for garnish)
– 1 egg white
– 30ml standard 1:1 sugar syrup
– 20ml fresh lemon juice
– 20ml double cream
– 60ml 100% blue agave blanco tequila (Omeca Altos Plata is recommended)
– Cream soda, to top
**Instructions:**
1. In a shaker, combine all the ingredients except for the cream soda and garnish. Start by dry shaking—this means shaking without ice—to properly emulsify the egg white.
2. Add a generous handful of ice and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds.
3. Stir in a splash of cream soda, then double strain the mixture into a highball glass.
4. Top off with more cream soda to your taste, garnish, and serve.
With its vibrant flavors and creamy texture, this drink is sure to impress anyone in search of something fun and refreshing.
