Vegan Fat-Washing Process: Begin by infusing your gin with olive oil. Combine 1 cup of gin with 2 tablespoons of good-quality olive oil in a sealable container. Shake well, then let it sit at room temperature for 4 to 6 hours. Place the container in the freezer until the oil solidifies. Once solid, strain the gin through a coffee filter to remove the oil. 2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the olive oil-infused gin, dry vermouth, carrot juice, agave nectar, lemon juice, and celery bitters. 3. Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to blend the flavors while chilling the drink. 4. Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass. 5. Lightly sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika over the top for aroma and garnish with a sprig of fresh dill.
