This was a drink I made for a competition for Bärenjäger. I named it after the great song featured in numerous scenes in Game of Thrones, The Bear and the Maiden Fair. Bärenjäger is a German honey liqueur that translates to be "Bear Hunter". The recipe itself is a modified Jack Rose with a honey foam on top to garnish.
1 1/4 oz. Applejack
3/4 oz. Bärenjäger
3/4 oz. Lemon Juice
1/2 oz. Fresh grenadine
Shake and Strain into a Sours glass. Garnish with a Honey Foam
Honey Foam Recipe:
10 oz. Heavy cream, 3 oz. Bärenjäger, 2 eggs, dash lemon juice
Whisk the eggs, Bärenjäger, and lemon juice. Start incorporating the cream while mixing. Pour into an Isi whipper and charge with NO2. Shake well and chill in the fridge for a few hours. Feel free to modify ratios to fit your own palate
I had been playing with good flavors for foams and whipped creams, and honey liqueur just felt natural. I took a honey-based recipe from ISI's website and just switched out the runny honey with Bärenjäger. It also pairs well with a number of desserts and warm drinks.
