Pustza

So you've landed on our blog, seen the title, and you're still asking yourselves what on earth is Puszta?

Well, the wait is over...


Puszta is in fact a cocktail!

To try your hand at making this unusual, if rather lethal cocktail, you'll need the following:

20 ml Amaro Averna*
30ml Madeira
30 ml Absinth
ice

optional extra: slice of avocado

1. Add the ingredients to a cocktail shaker with a whole load of ice. Shake well and serve in a small tumbler with a slice of avocado on the side.

*At the Gay Hussar we like to educate as well as serve. Here are some interesting facts about little known Amaro Averna:
