Instructions

1. Blend the peeled Granny Smith apples, sugar snap peas, and ascorbic acid until smooth, then strain through a nut milk bag and press out as much juice as possible. Juice is extracted and strained.
2. Return the juice to the blender with pectinex, blend briefly, and wait for a clear break. Strain through a coffee filter, returning cloudy liquid to the filter as needed until fully clarified. Juice is clarified.
3. For every 300 ml of clarified juice, stir in the sugar, citric acid, and malic acid until fully dissolved, then keep the cordial chilled. Sugars and acids are dissolved.
4. Measure 150 ml of apple–peas cordial, the floral gin, and the Poire Williams into a cold cream whipper. Charge with CO2, shake 10 to 15 seconds, vent, charge again, shake again, and chill for a couple of minutes. The drink is carbonated and chilled.
5. Fill a highball glass with ice, slowly release the pressure from the whipper, open it, and pour the cocktail. Garnish with a sugar snap pea. Cocktail is poured and garnished.
