The She Wolf cocktail is the brainchild of Phil Cooke. After leaving the Air Force, he rediscovered a love for hospitality: the social element, the people, and the creativity. He has worked in a variety of different venues over the last 12 years, across different countries, from speakeasy bars in Melbourne, five-star hotels in London, beach clubs in Ibiza, and three Hatted restaurants in Queenstown.

Cocktail

45ml vanilla vodka 

5ml passion fruit syrup 

20ml white chocolate liqueur 

15ml fresh Lemon juice 

20ml egg white

30ml sparkling wine 

Foam – for 1-litre siphon 

300ml white chocolate liqueur 

250ml soy milk 

75ml filtered water 

75ml vanilla syrup 

300ml aqua faba (chickpea water)

2 cream chargers 

White chocolate for garnish

Glass 

Your favourite coupette or steamed glass 

Cocktail

Add the first four cocktail ingredients into a shaker, add ice and give it a good shake until it’s super cold; double strain into your chilled glass. Next, add in 30mls of sparkling wine, top with foam*, and finish with a good helping of grated white chocolate; let it snow! 

* If you don’t have access to a siphon and want to keep it simple, add in 20ml of fresh egg whites or aqua faba. Shake with ice, strain back into the tin and dry shake to activate the whites. Double strain, and there you have a simpler version. Garnish like above.

Foam

Add all ingredients into your siphon (cold ingredients would be better but not essential). Screw in the top and charge with one cream charger and give it a good hard shake. Now go in with your second charger and another big hard shake. Test your foam in the sink. It should have a glossy, firm white foam – cocktail ready. Keep it in the fridge for the best results.
