Instructions

Inspired by the classic Sidecar, the Eastern Starlight is a sophisticated, balanced cocktail that spotlights Kaoliang liquor, bringing a bold, aromatic flair to a timeless favorite. The drink incorporates Eastern ingredients to complement the potent, distinct flavor of Kaoliang, creating a harmonious blend that is both intriguing and delightful. Ingredients: - 2 oz Kaoliang liquor - 1 oz fresh lemon juice - 1/2 oz Triple Sec - 1/2 oz honey syrup (equal parts honey and water) - A small slice of fresh ginger - Garnish: Lemon twist and a sprinkle of fine sugar mixed with a pinch of ground Sichuan peppercorn Glass: - Chilled coupe glass Instructions: 1. Prepare the garnish first by twisting a lemon peel over the coupe glass to express its oils, then running the peel around the rim. Dip the rim lightly in a mixture of fine sugar and ground Sichuan peppercorn. Set aside. 2. In a shaker, muddle the fresh ginger slice to release its aromatic oils. 3. Add the Kaoliang liquor, fresh lemon juice, Triple Sec, and honey syrup to the shaker. 4. Fill the shaker with ice, cover, and shake vigorously until well chilled. 5. Strain the cocktail into the prepared coupe glass, ensuring no ice or ginger pieces make their way into the glass. 6. Garnish with the lemon twist, floating it on top or perching it on the rim of the glass. The Eastern Starlight is a balance of boldness from the Kaoliang, freshness from the lemon, sweetness from the honey syrup, and a hint of spice from the ginger and Sichuan peppercorn-rimmed glass. This sophisticated cocktail provides a unique, modern twist on the classic Sidecar, making it a perfect choice for those looking to explore the depths of Asian-inspired mixology.
