Description
A savory and spicy cocktail featuring the bright, fermented flavor of kimchi brine mixed with vodka.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz Vodka
- 0.75 oz Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 oz Simple syrup
- 0.5 oz Kimchi brine (strained)
- 2 dashes hot sauce (optional)
- Garnish: Thin slice of cucumber or a small piece of kimchi
Instructions
- Chill a martini glass.
- Combine vodka, lime juice, simple syrup, kimchi brine, and hot sauce (if using) into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Shake well until the shaker is very cold, about 15 to 20 seconds.
- Double strain the mixture into the chilled martini glass.
- Garnish with a cucumber slice or a small piece of kimchi on a pick.
Notes
- For a stronger kimchi flavor, infuse your vodka with a tablespoon of chopped kimchi for 24 hours, then strain before using.
- If you do not have simple syrup, use 0.5 oz of the liquid from the kimchi jar instead of the brine for a saltier, more complex flavor.
- Use high-quality, clear vodka to let the kimchi flavor stand out.
