Dream Catcher

1⁄2 oz Zucca
1 ds Rhubarb bitters, Fee Brothers (optional)
Instructions

Shakes all ingredients with ice, strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a strawberry slice or lemon slice.

Notes

For the strawberry syrup, sous vide equal parts fresh strawberry juice and cane syrup at 135 degrees for 2 hours. Or just blend the juice and sugar until fully integrated for a cold pressed syrup. If you lack a juicer, you could also use the Imbibe pour over or a heated recipe, though the strawberry flavor won't be as pronounced.

  • Use 1/4 oz maple
  • Okay, but a bit overrated. Tried with less maple, added ango as suggested, but just not that special... could use some more fiddling...
  • This is good. I made as described. It felt like it was missing something. I added some ango and a spray of Laphroiag 10yr. I think next time I will decrease the maple syrup a little, keep ango and maybe Laphroiag.

I was out of Maple Syrup so used simple syrup. It's a nice aperitif-style cocktail with a tiny less ABV than normal.

5) Combine first oleo saccharum and tea, let sit 30 minutes.
Combine all in a large bowl.
Filter through Coffee filter.

Notes

Quite sour but well balanced with Spice and savoury.
I recommend serving this punch in a glass with ice instead of throwing ice cubes in the bowl.
Otherwise you'll lose quckly that sourness.

  • Solid. Aromatic and boozy. The pepper in the bottom of the glass is a very nice touch.
  • Only needs a bit of pepper, not 4 pinches.

Anyone have directions for preparing the popcorn-infused vermouth?


The instagram for the cocktail says "Vermouth infused with Pop Corn (Sous-Vide at room temperature for 24 hours)".

I've not had this drink, so am just guessing at a starting point... Put a handful of popcorn and 50 g of clarified butter per 250 mL of vermouth, vacuum-sealed (using either a chamber sealer and bag or the jar sealing attachment of a cheaper vacuum unit), left for a day, & double-strained. Possibly add salt.

I'm impatient, so would probably try rapid infusion via iSi instead & tweak ratios to personal taste (or taste memory for those who have had the drink).

I like the ingredients separately, but this drink just did not come together for me.
