Elegant cocktail inspired by borscht flavors.
Description:
Inspired by the earthy, savory flavors of classic Eastern European borscht and the innovation of the milk-wash technique, this cocktail transforms the Bloody Mary into a crystal-clear, silky-smooth aperitif. Twisted Alchemy Eureka Lemon Juice provides zesty brightness, while a savory blend of tomato and spices gets clarified by whole milk for an unexpectedly elegant twist. Serve this unique cocktail in a Nick & Nora glass for maximum sophistication.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz vodka
- 1 oz clarified tomato juice (see instructions)
- 0.5 oz Twisted Alchemy Eureka Lemon Juice
- 0.25 oz Twisted Alchemy Rich Simple Syrup
- 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- 2 dashes Tabasco
- Pinch celery salt
- Pinch black pepper
- Pinch corn powder (optional, for earthy sweetness)
- 3 oz whole milk (for milk wash)
Milk Wash Instructions:
1. Mix tomato juice with Eureka Lemon Juice, Rich Simple Syrup, Worcestershire, Tabasco, celery salt, black pepper, and corn powder. Stir to combine.
2. Slowly pour this mixture into the whole milk (not the other way around) in a separate vessel. Stir gently and let sit for 10-15 minutes as milk curdles and clarifies.
3. Fine strain the mixture through a coffee filter or cheesecloth. The resulting liquid should be clear, savory, and silky.
To Make the Cocktail:
1. In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine the clarified liquid with vodka.
2. Stir gently to chill.
3. Strain into a chilled Nick & Nora glass.
Garnish:
A micro celery leaf or a lemon twist, if desired.
