Miso Martini
Y’all asked for savory cocktails and I promise this one delivered 😮💨 it’s salty and strong with a punch of umami. Definitely takes a little bit of prep work but if you’re into the weird stuff it may be worth it!
½ oz pink peppercorn brine
½ oz white miso vermouth
2½ oz vodka
garnish: sesame oil + crushed pink peppercorn
Add ingredients into a cocktail mixing glass. Add ice and stir until chilled and properly diluted. Strain into a stemmed glass. Garnish with sesame oil and pink peppercorns.
PINK PEPPERCORN BRINE:
¾ cup champagne vinegar
1¼ cup water
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp pink peppercorns
Add all ingredient to a small sauce pot until sugar and salt dissolve. Let cool completely. Strain into an airtight jar.
WHITE MISO VERMOUTH:
1 tbsp white miso paste
2 cups dry vermouth
Add miso and dry vermouth into a jar and shake well. Place in the freezer overnight. The next day, it might be a bit frozen, so let it thaw a little and then strain it through a few layers of cheesecloth.
PSST! THIS IS THE STUFF I USED:
