How easy is it to create a great cocktail out of a weird ingredient? We thought we’d challenge Aadam Ernest from Cause & Effect Bar in our Unusual Ingredient Challenge Types Of Chickpeas

We’ve started an Unusual Ingredient Challenge. In other words, we’ve found an ingredient that isn’t often used in drinks and asked a bartender to incorporate it into a drink of their creation.

Once they are done, they have to then pass the challenge on to another bartender (from another bar) with a new, unusual ingredient.

Aadam Ernest from Cape Town bar Cause & Effect is our first contestant using the unusual and weird ingredient Wasabi Peas.

Shake all ingredients in an ice-filled shaker, then dry shake all ingredients before straining into a chilled coupe.
