Preparation

Step 1

For the honey water:

For the Southern Comfort and mixture:
1. Mix all the liquids together and keep in the fridge.

For the basic syrup:
1. Mix the ingredients together and bring to the boil.
2. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.

For the lime foam:
1. Heat half the syrup and dissolve the gelatin in it.
2. Mix the rest of the ingredients together.
3. Strain and fill the canister using a funnel.
4. Foam and leave to rest in the fridge for 2 hours.

For the caramelized peanuts:
1. Place the water and sugar in a pan and heat to 240ºF (thread point).
2. Add the peanuts, remove from the heat and stir gently with a spatula until the sugar crystallizes and sticks and coats the nuts.
3. Put the coated peanuts into the widest pan you have and heat the nuts over a medium heat until it begins to caramelize and turns dark golden brown. Make sure that the peanuts do not stick together.
4. Spread the caramelized peanuts over a sheet of greaseproof paper so that they cool, making sure that you separate any peanuts that have stuck together.
