Instructions

Description: The Maize Mirage is a refreshing, non-alcoholic cocktail that pays homage to Native American culture and the staple crop of many indigenous tribes: corn. This mocktail is a celebration of the earth's bounty, combining the unique sweetness of corn with a blend of aromatic herbs and spices that have been used by Native Americans for centuries. Served in a traditional clay cup to honor the natural elements, this drink offers a taste of history and a connection to the land. Ingredients: - 4 oz of fresh corn juice (from sweet yellow corn) - 1 oz of maple syrup (preferably harvested from the sugar maple tree) - 1/2 oz fresh lime juice - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon - A pinch of ground nutmeg - 2 oz of chilled club soda - Ice cubes - Garnish: A charred corn husk twist and a dusting of cayenne pepper (optional for a little kick) - Optional: A small stick of cedar to stir, adding a subtle woody aroma Glass: Traditional handcrafted clay cup Instructions: 1. Juice fresh sweet corn kernels using a juicer to extract about 4 ounces of corn juice. If a juicer is not available, puree the corn and strain it through a fine mesh to collect the juice. 2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the fresh corn juice, maple syrup, fresh lime juice, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. 3. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients well. 4. Strain the mixture into the clay cup filled with fresh ice cubes. 5. Top the drink with chilled club soda to add a nice effervescence. 6. For garnish, carefully char one end of a corn husk with a lighter or over a gas flame until it is slightly blackened and aromatic, then twist it and place it atop the drink. If desired, lightly dust the top of the mocktail with a pinch of cayenne pepper for heat. 7. If using, place the cedar stick in the cup as a stirrer and let the aroma infuse for a brief moment before sipping. 8. Enjoy your Maize Mirage, a toast to the rich agricultural heritage and time-honored traditions of Native American culture.
