Instructions

Embrace the comforting and complex notes of this cocktail on a gloomy Saturday. The Rainy Day Umami is a sophisticated blend that marries savory elements with the smoothness of whiskey, creating a drink that's as intriguing as it is comforting. The star ingredient, a hint of soy sauce, brings a unique umami depth that complements the sweetness of maple syrup and the richness of the whiskey, making for a memorable sip every time. Ingredients: - 2 oz Whiskey (preferably a smooth, aged variety) - 1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice - 1/4 oz Soy sauce (preferably low sodium for a subtle umami touch) - 1/2 oz Maple syrup (pure, for natural sweetness) - 1 Egg white (for a silky texture and a frothy top) - A dash of bitters (aromatic or orange bitters work well) - Ice cubes - A small strip of candied ginger or a lemon twist, for garnish Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the whiskey, fresh lemon juice, soy sauce, maple syrup, egg white, and a dash of bitters. 2. First, do a dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white. This step is crucial for achieving a smooth, frothy consistency. 3. Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker and give it a vigorous shake again for about 10-15 seconds, cooling the mixture and enhancing the froth. 4. Strain the cocktail into a chilled old-fashioned glass or a lowball glass. The choice of glass ensures the drink holds its chill longer and offers a classic, sophisticated presentation. 5. Garnish with a small strip of candied ginger or a lemon twist. The garnish adds a fragrant aroma and a touch of elegance, enhancing the overall drinking experience. The Rainy Day Umami is a cocktail that invites you to slow down and savor each sip, making it perfect for those reflective, rainy Saturdays. The combination of flavors is designed to comfort and intrigue, making each sip a discovery of balance and depth. Enjoy responsibly and let the rich, savory notes carry you away to a place of cozy contemplation.
