Instructions

The Whisper of Chios is an ethereal cocktail that showcases the aromatic prowess of Mastiha, a resin obtained from the mastic trees of Chios, Greece. This drink uses the advanced mixology technique of fat-washing to infuse olive oil with aromatic herbs, melding Mediterranean flavors into a silky, unforgettable concoction. Ingredients: - 2 oz Mastiha liqueur - 1 oz Herb-infused olive oil fat-washed gin (instructions below) - 0.5 oz Lemon juice, freshly squeezed - 0.5 oz Simple syrup - Egg white from one large egg (for froth) - A sprig of rosemary and an olive for garnish Herb-Infused Olive Oil Fat-Washed Gin: 1. Combine 1 cup of high-quality gin with 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil and a handful of fresh rosemary and thyme in a sealable container. 2. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 24 hours, allowing the gin to absorb the flavors. 3. Freeze the mixture for 8 hours, or until the olive oil solidifies. 4. Remove the solidified olive oil, and strain the gin through a cheesecloth to ensure clarity. Cocktail Instructions: 1. In a shaker, combine the Mastiha liqueur, herb-infused olive oil fat-washed gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup. 2. Add the egg white, dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white. 3. Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well-chilled. 4. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass to remove any ice shards and ensure a smooth foam. 5. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary and an olive on a skewer. Glass: - Serve in a chilled coupe glass to emphasize the sophistication and delicate flavors of the Whisper of Chios. The Whisper of Chios perfectly balances the aromatic Mastiha with the herbal, fat-washed gin. The result is a cocktail that not only tantalizes the taste buds but also demonstrates the fascinating possibilities of advanced mixology.
