  • 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).

Aperitivo #2

1 oz Barbados Rum, Doorly's XO
2⁄3 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Punt e Mes
2⁄3 oz Amaro, Vecchio Amaro del Capo
2⁄3 oz Lime juice
2⁄3 oz Tonic water, Fever Tree (Mediterranean)
Instructions

Shake everything but tonic water.
Top with tonic

Notes

Herbal tones of del capo are nearly absent.
Tried without tonic water, and was much better with it.
Tartness decreased a lot with tonic, making an easy sipper aperitivo with Amaro undertones.

History

Having Christmas with family in Barcelona, Spain.
Bought a lot of liquors because of cheap price.

Mediterranean tonic water is a must have for tonic drinks: Soft bitterness and very good taste.
Perfect for gin tonic.

Difficult to find in France.
