The Silk Stocking Sour Cocktail
SEE RECIPE
Cocktail star

Ingredients:

  1. 2 oz Mezcalum
  2. 1.5 oz Pineapple juice
  3. 0.75 oz fresh Lemon juice
  4. 1 oz Blueberry syrup (recipe below!)
  5. 1 Egg white
  6. Garnish: Sugar rim (we used @bartesian’s Triple Berry Sugar Rimmer for extra flair!)

Blueberry Syrup:

  1. 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  2. 1 cup water
  3. 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Blueberry Syrup Instructions:

  1. Simmer Berries: In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for about 15 minutes, allowing the blueberries to break down and release their color and flavor.
  2. Strain & Sweeten: Strain the cooked blueberries and liquid through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing gently on the solids to extract all the juice. Discard the blueberry solids. Return the strained liquid to the warm saucepan. While still warm (but not boiling), stir in the sugar until it is completely dissolved.
  3. Cool & Store: Let the syrup cool completely to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to an airtight, food-safe container, such as a mason jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  4. Alternatively, for a quick syrup: Substitute with equal parts blueberry jam and water. Stir well to combine until the jam is dissolved, then strain for a smooth syrup.

  6. Rimming salt
  7. Orange zest for garnish
  8. Dried orange slice for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Your Glass: On a small plate, spread out your rimming salt. Moisten the rim of a margarita glass (or your preferred cocktail glass) with a lime wedge, then gently dip the rim into the salt to create a beautiful, even coating. Set aside.

  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.
