The global party is well underway in South Africa as the world’s best play for the World Cup. Supporters of Italy and France may be in despair, but millions of fans harbor high hopes for their nations’ chances for the ultimate celebration.
It is far too early to say who will win the world championship, but just a great showing will be plenty of reason for a celebration in many countries. And what could be better to toast a team’s success at the World Cup than a shooter named for Africa’s fleet gazelle, the Springbok, made with Amarula Cream from South Africa.
The marula tree grows wild on the Savannah. The tree’s fruit is gathered and the flesh pulped, sweetened and fermented. The resulting "marula spirit" is matured in oak casks for two years, and finally blended with fresh cream to create a smooth distinctive cream liqueur. The tree is protected under South African law, which ensures eco-friendly treatment and sustainability.
The Springbok is simple to make, lovely to look at, and smooth going down!
Ingredients for 1 Shooter
• ½ Ounce Amarula Cream
• ½ Ounce Crème de Menthe
Preparation
Layer each of the ingredients into a shot glass by pouring very slowly over the back of a spoon. Pour the Crème de Menthe first and then the Amarula Cream.
