*Quad-Berry Syrup
-
You will need equal parts water, sugar and frozen quad-berry fruit blend.
-
Start by boiling the water and then add the sugar, stir until fully dissolved.
-
Add the frozen fruit and turn the temperature down to leave to simmer for 8-12 minutes or until the fruit becomes very soft and delicate.
-
Once the fruit is soft and falls apart easily pour the entire mixture into a fine mesh strainer over a container to catch the syrup.
-
Use a ladle or spoon to smash the fruit to release all trapped liquid. The syrup is best when used within 7-10 days.
Remember, don’t throw away your smashed fruit; it makes for a great jam on your toast or biscuit in the morning.

.5 oz Carpano Antica Formula Vermouth
.75 oz Pama Pomegranate Liqueur
3 dashes Old Forester Smoked Cinnamon Bitters
2 dashes Angostura Aromatic Bitters
Pinch of salt
Garnish: 2 ea. picked amarena cherries
Method

-
With a pinch of shredded cherry wood chips, smoke the cocktail for 5-10 seconds.
-
It is recommended to have the cherries in the cocktail when this is done as it gives the smoke an organic substance to grasp onto.
-
When you’re done smoking, remember to slide the smoke top off instead of lifting it off so as not to create a vacuum and pull out all the delicious smoke you just infused into the cocktail.
-
Now it’s time to enjoy this fantastic cocktail’s beautiful aromatics and flavors. Cheers.
