The Underground Affair: East Village Spirit in a Glass

The Underground Affair Mezcal Cocktail
SEE RECIPE
Cocktail star

Ingredients:

  1. 1/2 oz Gochujang Syrup (recipe below!)
  2. 4 fresh cherry tomatoes
  3. 1 oz fresh lime juice
  4. 2 oz Mezcalum
  5. Garnish: Salt rim (we love Bartesian Sizzle Salt for an extra kick!)
  6. Garnish: 1 cherry tomato

Gochujang Syrup:

  1. 25g gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  2. 100g granulated sugar
  3. 100g water

Gochujang Syrup Instructions:

  1. Combine all gochujang, sugar, and water in a small saucepan.
  2. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined. Do not boil.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  4. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into an airtight container to remove any solids. This will give you a smooth, vibrant syrup. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Instructions for The Underground Affair:

  1. Prepare Your Glass: Take a rocks glass and moisten one side of the rim with a lime wedge. Dip the moistened side into your chosen salt (like Bartesian Sizzle Salt!) to create a striking half-rim. Set aside.
  2. Muddle the Magic: In a cocktail shaker, add your homemade Gochujang Syrup, fresh lime juice, and 4 cherry tomatoes. Muddle them gently but firmly to break down the tomatoes and release their juicy, sweet-savory essence.
  3. Shake & Chill: Add 2 oz of Mezcalum to the shaker, along with a generous scoop of ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the mixture is thoroughly chilled – usually about 15-20 seconds.
  4. Double Strain & Serve: Place a fine-mesh strainer over your prepared rocks glass. Pour the contents of the shaker through the strainer, ensuring a smooth, pulp-free liquid.
  5. Garnish: Crown your "Underground Affair" with a fresh cherry tomato on the rim or a small skewer.
