It's Friday let's make a (savory) cocktail.

[Attjack]

I want to try something new today. I love a good Bloody Mary. But what about other savory cocktails? Recently, I've read about using miso in cocktails, and today (or at the latest sometime this weekend) I plan to try it. My plan is to start with a daiquiri made with miso-infused syrup.

Miso Daiquiri

2 oz. Jamaican Rum
3/4 oz. lime juice
.5 oz. rich miso syrup

Miso syrup:
9 oz. sugar
1 oz. miso
5 oz water
Simmer until combined and let cool.
(I used white miso).

What will you be drinking?

Got the fixins for Bloody Cesars but I've been out shoveling every three hours or so....so looks like Bourbon....
To warm the cockles of me heart....

When I say Bloody Mary I'm almost always talking about a Caesar. For me, Clamato is key.

I keep looking at that syrup recipe and thinking "ginger". Maybe a couple small slices of ginger, and even a couple of whole Allspice berries steeped in the syrup for a bit, just enough for a hint... I think that might be good.

Also, Kenji has a miso soup video where he basically mixes the miso paste into the dashi in a fine mesh strainer to keep all the gritty bits out, so that's a technique you might think about when making the syrup.

I thought of ginger too but I have ginger syrups so I can combine those flavors that way. The dashi idea is intriguing.

Miso Daiquiri

• 2 oz. Jamaican Rum
• 3/4 oz. lime juice
• .5 oz. rich miso syrup

combine in a shaker and strain into a cocktail glass.

This was very good. I have also been reading about adding salt to cocktails in general like we do with food to enhance the flavors. This syrup does that. My wife thought it was a "lemon drop whiskey cocktail". She was uninterested in a miso cocktail when I mentioned it earlier but she did not detect the miso for what it was and liked the cocktail. This is a keeper!

Bourbon...neat, lol. Simple man here

3-4 fingers of Bourbon for me, neat or one ice cube.

at the lake house this weekend, so no cocktails really. I could but I haven’t. Sipping on Eagle Rare tonight, neat. Found a few bottles at the local grocery store, so sipping.

I may make an Old Fashioned after this sipper…or tequila, or the tequila old fashioned I made last time I was here at the lake.

I did have a new tequila when we went to lunch earlier. El Patron Anejo - I liked it, wasn’t as sweet as the others I’ve tried. And it had a peppery finish.

but, these cocktails sound good Attjack! Thanks for sharing this new one!

I love my bourbon, but this sounds very interesting. I will give this a try. A friend of mine tends bar, he makes a gin based bloody.
He calls it a Raggi Maggi. Really good n cannot taste the gin.
