EUPHORIA by Eunike Katherine – @eunikekatherine bartender at @hidden.club in Indonesia⁠

Our first of our best summer cocktails this week is inspired by BTS, she shares with us this very unique drink, a mix of homemade recipes and Korean ingredients that will match perfectly with your favorite gin!⁠

⁠Ingredients

115ml Homemade Gwail gat-eun carbonated⁠:

  • Makgeolli Peach 60ml⁠
  • Gin 30ml⁠
  • Citrus 15ml⁠
  • Orange Neroli Sherbet 10ml⁠
  • Then give carbonation with soda syphon ⁠

30ml Creme De Coco white

⁠Garnish: Choco Yuzu Jelly: For this garnish, first mix the jelly powder, sugar, yuzu juice, and water then cook it until boiling.⁠ Then, chill the jelly.⁠

Next, melt the chocolate (using white chocolate compound)⁠.

The last step is to coat the jelly with white chocolate and garnish it with an edible gold leaf at the top and freeze it. ⁠

 

BLUEBERRY FIELD – Nicolas Pérez Cortez – @nicolasperezcortez

The Bluberry Field cocktail is another one of our best summer cocktails of the week. It’s a bit of a take on Dick Bradsells Bramble. The sweet, floral, citric & piney taste comes together with the berries but from a different angle. The roundness of the gin allows for the other ingredients to balance each other’s levels of acidity and sweetness.

When I was a child I used to go once a year to Pinamar, a place to the south of Buenos Aires, a beach area, where there are lots of lavender plantations. I’ve gone back a few times and each opportunity I have I bring back some fresh lavender from the coast. I make my own lavender bitter once a year, although there are really good ones in the market.”⁠

Here’s the Bluberry Field, or as he personally recalls it “The One That Reminds Me Of Fields Of Berries On A Summer Afternoon”⁠.

Ingredients

60 ml. London Dry Gin⁠

15 ml. Blueberry shrub⁠*

15 ml. Rosemary & lemon infused honey*⁠

2 drops Lavender bitter⁠

*Shrub: 200 gms. Blueberries⁠ + 200 gms. Apple Vinegar⁠ + 200 ams. Granulated white sugar⁠ + 100 ml. cup water⁠  + 2 cloves⁠ + anise star⁠ + 45 ml Tartaric acid 5% solution⁠

In a casserole dissolve the sugar in the water. When it reaches boiling point, turn off and let cool. Add the syrup with the blueberries in a mason jar. Settle overnight.⁠

Cook the syrup and berries in a saucepan in low fire with the anise and cloves, adding and stirring the vinegar. Cook for 30 minutes. Let cool. Strain through cloth, bottle, label and refrigerate.⁠⁠

*Honey: 500 grs. Liquid honey⁠ + 250 ml. Water⁠ + 2 gms. Fresh rosemary⁠ + Peels of 2 lemons⁠ + 2 slices Ginger⁠.

Cook all the ingredients for 20 minutes in a casserole at 80°. Don’t stop stirring. Let cool. Strain through a cloth. Bottle, label and refrigerate.⁠

Now, the preparation of the cocktail:

In a cocktail shaker add the gin, shrub and honey. Stir to integrate. Add lots of ice and shake for 15 seconds. Double strain on a chilled rocks glass with a big cube of ice. Garnish with blueberries and a tip of rosemary. Perfume with an orange peel. Enjoy!⁠
