Introduction from Matthias Giroud
The early morning hues… the sun will soon rise and you are still in the middle of a festive night… It will be your perfect ally with its sweet and sour notes.
Ingredients
Method

Put the ingredients into a saucepan, bring to the boil and simmer until you have obtained a syrup. Will keep at room temperature for 2 weeks maximum.
To make the Chacha Sunrise
Pour all the ingredients into a serving glass. Stir and garnish.
To garnish: clementine leather
Fruit ‘leather’ is my secret weapon. It is a kind of dried fruit (or herb) paste.
You must first make a vegetable matter purée, in this case clementine matter purée, which you then spread thinly on a sheet and put in the oven. It needs to be very thin. You then use the dehydration setting on the oven (or a dehydrator) for 6–8 hours at 45–50°C (110–120°F).
When you undertake this preparation, allow a sufficient quantity to make a small stock of it. Leathers don’t keep very long (10–12 days), but you can use them to complete a dessert or brighten dry biscuits.
