Description

A modern, seasonal non-alcoholic cocktail (with an alcoholic option) that combines the sweetness of juicy mandarins with the spicy, warming touch of fresh ginger. Served as a light fizz — a sparkling drink with a delicate, stable foam made from aquafaba (chickpea water) instead of egg white — making it vegan-friendly. The vibrant mandarin color and contrasting white cloud create a stunning, Instagram-worthy appearance; the aromatic ginger syrup and a pinch of salt enhance the depth of flavor. Great as a holiday drink, a warming aperitif for chilly days, or an elegant non-alcoholic cocktail for gatherings — serve in tall glasses with crushed ice, optionally with a splash of gin for adults. Aesthetic: clear glass, a layer of foam on top, garnished with candied peel and star anise for contrast.

Preparation steps

Ginger syrup

1

Peel the ginger: grate the skin with a teaspoon or peel it with a knife, then cut it into thin slices. Place 30 g of ginger slices in a small saucepan along with 120 ml of water and 100 g of sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 8-10 minutes — an aromatic, golden syrup will form. The syrup is ready when it thickens slightly and takes on an intense ginger aroma.

Ingredients: Fresh ginger, Water, Sugar
Use a small saucepan with a capacity of at least 600 ml and a wooden spoon for stirring. Do not cook over too high heat — the syrup may boil over. After cooking, strain through a fine sieve and set aside to cool (for at least 20 minutes).

Juice

2

Wash the mandarins and lemons. Cut the fruit in half and squeeze the juice using a manual citrus juicer or a juicer: extract the juice from all the mandarins (400 g) and the lemon (100 g) — you will get about 300–350 ml of juice. Pour the juice through a fine sieve into a large pitcher to remove seeds and larger fibers.

Ingredients: Mandarin, Lemon
Use a manual citrus juicer or an electric juicer. If there is a lot of pulp, strain the juice through a sieve and gently press with a spoon, but do not crush the peels — pressing too hard will give a bitter taste.

Preparing aquafaba

3

Chill the aquafaba (90 ml) in the fridge before whipping — cold aquafaba whips faster and more stably. Pour the aquafaba into a large, clean bowl (preferably metal or glass). Add a pinch of salt (1 g) and 20 g of the prepared, cooled ginger syrup (for flavor).

Ingredients: Aquafaba (chickpea water), Salt, Fresh ginger
Use a clean, fat-free bowl (a greasy dish makes whipping difficult). If the aquafaba is from a can, drain the liquid and optionally filter it. Store in the refrigerator if not using immediately.

Aquafaba foam

4

Whip the aquafaba with a whisk on medium-high speed for 3-5 minutes until you achieve a fluffy, glossy foam with soft but stable peaks. After 3 minutes, check the consistency — the foam should be thick and stable; if it is too runny, whip for another 1-2 minutes. Finally, add another 10 g of ginger syrup and mix briefly to mellow the flavor of the foam.

Ingredients: Aquafaba (chickpea water), Salt, Fresh ginger
Use a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment. You can speed up the process by chilling the bowl and the whisks. Be careful not to overbeat the foam – it will become grainy. This is a crucial step: the foam should be shiny and thick.

Cocktail Assembly

5

Pour the strained juice from the mandarins and lemons (the whole from step 2) into a large shaker or pitcher. Add 40–60 g of ginger syrup (adjust to your preferred sweetness — 60 g for sweeter drinks). If you're making the alcoholic version, add 120 ml of gin now (optional). Fill the shaker with ice cubes or crushed ice (about 200 g) and shake vigorously for 8–12 seconds until the sides of the shaker become cold.

Ingredients: Mandarin, Lemon, Sparkling water, Water, Gin, Crushed ice
Use a cocktail shaker or a large jar if you don't have a shaker. Shaking cools and aerates the drink, it's important that it is well chilled. If you don't want the alcoholic version, skip the gin — the flavor will still be full.

Serving

6

Prepare 4 tall glasses: fill each with crushed ice (about 70–80 g per glass). Strain the contents of the shaker evenly into the glasses (about 150–180 ml per glass). Top each glass with chilled sparkling water (about 100 ml per glass, 400 ml total), gently stirring with a bar spoon to maintain the fizz.

Ingredients: Sparkling water, Crushed ice, Mandarin
The best are tall, transparent Collins glasses. Strain through a sieve to separate the ice cubes and any pieces of pulp. Slowly top up with sparkling water to avoid losing the bubbles.

Applying the meringue and decoration

7

Gently spoon a layer of whipped aquafaba on top of each glass — about 20–25 g of foam per glass. The foam should hold soft peaks. Decorate each serving with a piece of candied tangerine peel and optionally add 1 star anise for visual and aromatic effect.

Ingredients: Aquafaba (chickpea water), Candied tangerine peel, Star anise
Use a bar spoon or a small teaspoon to gently apply the foam from the center towards the edges. If the foam collapses, you can whip a bit more aquafaba and add it. Additionally, you can add candied mandarin peel to enhance the flavor/texture (optional).

Final tips

8

Serve immediately to maintain the fizz and freshness of the foam. If you are preparing the drink in advance, make the syrup and juice ahead of time, but do not whip the aquafaba or add the sparkling water until just before serving.

Ingredients: Water, Aquafaba (chickpea water)
If you want to prepare a batch of drinks for a party, make the syrup and juice the day before and store them in closed containers in the fridge. Whip the aquafaba and add it just before serving.

Fun Fact

💡

Aquafaba gained popularity as a vegan substitute for egg whites in the 2010s; its ability to create foam was discovered by experimenting with the liquid from canned chickpeas. This allows for the creation of impressive foams without raw eggs.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve in tall, clear glasses (Collins) with a wide spoon for scooping the foam. For the adult version, add 30 ml of gin per serving (120 ml for the whole). If you want to achieve a gradient color effect, first pour in the juice and gently add the sparkling water along the side of the glass.

🥡 Storage

Ginger syrup and freshly squeezed juice can be stored in closed bottles in the fridge for up to 3 days. Store aquafaba in the fridge for a maximum of 24 hours; do not whip it earlier than 1 hour before serving. The finished cocktail loses its fizz about 20-30 minutes after adding sparkling water.
