Instructions

Description: A sophisticated, warming cocktail designed to complement the rich flavors of roasted venison with blueberry sauce. This drink combines the hearty notes of rye whiskey with the winter spices and the subtle fruitiness of blueberries, making it an ideal accompaniment to game dishes. The addition of a smoky element mirrors the charred exterior of the venison, while a touch of herbal bitterness from the amaro balances the sweetness of the blueberry. Ingredients: - 2 oz Rye Whiskey - 0.5 oz Blueberry Liqueur - 0.5 oz Amaro (preferably one with winter spice notes) - 1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 0.5 oz Maple Syrup - 1 dash of Black Walnut Bitters - 1 Rosemary Sprig (for garnish) - Fresh Blueberries (for garnish) - Smoked Ice Cube* Glass: Serve in an old-fashioned glass. Instructions: 1. Chill the old-fashioned glass by placing it in the freezer or filling it with ice water and setting aside for 5 minutes. 2. In a mixing glass, combine the rye whiskey, blueberry liqueur, amaro, lemon juice, maple syrup, and black walnut bitters. 3. Fill the mixing glass with regular ice and stir the ingredients well to chill and combine. 4. Remove the old-fashioned glass from the freezer or discard the ice water. 5. Place a smoked ice cube* in the bottom of the glass. 6. Strain the mixed cocktail over the smoked ice cube. 7. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary and a skewer of fresh blueberries. 8. Serve immediately and enjoy the aromatic, flavor-rich pairing with your venison dish. *Smoked Ice Cube Preparation: - Use a smoking gun with wood chips of your choice (hickory or oak pair well with whiskey) to fill a container with smoke. - Place the container of water inside the smoke-filled container and cover it so the smoke infuses the water for a few minutes. - Freeze the smoked water in an ice cube tray to create smoked ice cubes. The smoky aroma released as the smoked ice cube slowly melts will enhance the sensory experience of the drink, making it a perfect winter cocktail to sip alongside a savory venison dish.
