Step-by-step

How to make

  1. Combine 250 ml of Jameson Black Barrel and 25g of dried apricots. Sous-vide the mixture for 2 hours at 60°C. Once done, strain the liquid to remove the apricot pieces.

  2. Add 10g of cacao nibs to 100g of sweet vermouth. Let the mixture infuse for 12 hours at room temperature.

  3. Dissolve 6g of malic acid powder in 150 ml of water by stirring until the powder is completely diluted.

  4. In a mixing glass, combine: 40 ml of the apricot-infused Jameson Black Barrel, 15 ml of cacao-infused vermouth, 20 ml of bitter aperitif, 5 ml of cherry liqueur, 7.5 ml of the malic acid solution. Stir the mixture with ice, then strain it into a rocks glass over a square ice block.

  5. For the garnish:
    Melt dark chocolate and pour it into a mould to create a chocolate cup. Use the leftover apricot chunks from the infusion, stewed with sugar and berries, to fill the chocolate cup. Place the chocolate cup on the drink as a garnish. Serve and enjoy!
