Date Infused Vodka

Pistachio Syrup

Whipped Ricotta Cream Foam

Garnish

Method

Date Infused Vodka

  1. 1

    Infuse the Vodka

    In a clean glass jar, combine the vodka and pitted Medjool dates. Seal the jar tightly and let it infuse at room temperature for at least 3 days, shaking it gently each day. The longer it sits, the more intense the flavor will be.

Pistachio Syrup

  1. 2

    Prepare the Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine the pistachios, water, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely before straining out the pistachios.

Whipped Ricotta Cream Foam

  1. 3

    Make the Cream Foam

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, heavy cream, and honey. Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy, forming soft peaks. Transfer the whipped ricotta cream foam into a piping bag or a squeeze bottle for easy serving.

Assembly and Garnish

  1. 4

    Assemble the Drink

    In a shaker filled with ice, combine 60 ml of the date infused vodka and 30 ml of fresh lemon juice. Shake well and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

  2. 5

    Garnish

    Top the drink with a generous dollop of the whipped ricotta cream foam. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with cracked black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
