This is too sweet for me, but so beautiful. I thought the kvass was more dry than it actually was.
Something simple for Sunday.
2 oz rye
1 oz strawberry syrup
1.5 oz lemon juice (started with 1 but adjusted)
3 oz strawberry kvass (strawberry tepache for those of us in the new world)
Notes:
If you don’t have the kvass/tepache, sub with 2oz fruity soda, 1 oz tonic water. If you don’t have strawberry syrup, thin jam with hot water. The homemade ingredients aren’t necessary I just had them on hand because I am a fermentation geek.
It would have been better with some sort of Amaro or bitter stuff and less syrup, will fuss with it next week. Maybe a splash of Campari next time.
My brain went on a wild rollercoaster ride from first seeing and processing this as a roomba with something on it to recognizing it was a drink on a coaster.
A roomba with an enormous cocktail on it! I could only wish for a floor that clean and smooth, that’s the coffee table. Have never seen a white roomba though.
Ok so I definitely see a rye and strawberry drink being exceptional. And it looks good but if the drink was too sweet I am also intrigued what might fix it.
Like definitely bitters, but I am thinking just do tonic and like elderflower. As your soda.
Or hear me out, lilet blanc and absinthe or chartreuse.
