The Ultimat B&V (as in Bacon & Vodka)
Inspired by a Polish tradition of mixing beets & bacon. The result is a surprising brunch-style cocktail with a sweet & herbal nose. The pallet is rich and a little earthy with a slightly spicy finish.
- 1½ oz. Ultimat Vodka
- 2 oz. Beets & Bacon essence*
- ¾ oz. full-bodied red wine such as Malbec
- 2 bar spoons Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 bar spoon balsamic vinegar
- 5 black peppercorns
- Whole Allspice
- 5 fresh basil leaves (+5 for a garnish)
Method:
In a mixing cup muddle peppercorns & Allspice. Add remaining ingredients and shake with ice.
Double strain into highball glass filled with ice & basil leaves.
*Beets & Bacon Essence: Slowly boil 1 lb. of peeled & sliced red beets and ½ lb. of sliced naturally
smoked bacon in 4 pt. of water until water evaporates to 1½ – 2 pt. and the beets are soft. Remove
& muddle beets. Mix with the essence again. Strain through a fine strainer. Makes 12 – 16 cocktails.
