Ingredients

100g pecans , finely chopped
160g golden caster sugar
½ tsp sea salt flakes
Reyka vodka
3 egg whites
120ml fresh clementine juice (about 2-3 clementines)
18 drops chocolate bitters (we used Fee brothers Aztec chocolate bitters)
ice
6 dehydrated orange slices , to serve
good grating of nutmeg , to serve

Steps:

Toast the pecans in a dry saucepan for 1-2 mins, then take off the heat. Quickly add the sugar and 80ml water, stir rapidly to dissolve the sugar, add the salt, then leave the mixture to cool completely. Pour through a sieve to remove the pecans.
Pour the pecan salted caramel syrup, vodka, egg whites, clementine juice and bitters into a cocktail shaker. Shake hard for 30 secs to add volume to the egg white. Add some ice and shake again for a further 15 secs, then strain into rocks or coupe glasses. Garnish each with a dehydrated orange slice and grate fresh nutmeg over, to taste. Serve immediately.
