Cocktail Assembly

Method

Spiced Vodka Preparation

  1. 1

    Infuse the Vodka

    In a large glass jar, combine vodka, cinnamon sticks, star anise, cloves, vanilla bean (split), black peppercorns, and orange zest. Seal the jar tightly and let it infuse in a cool, dark place for at least 3 days, shaking gently every day.

  2. 2

    Strain the Infused Vodka

    After 3 days, strain the vodka through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle, discarding the solids. Your spiced vodka is now ready to use.

House Grenadine Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Grenadine

    In a small saucepan, combine pomegranate juice and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add lemon juice and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool.

  2. 4

    Bottle the Grenadine

    Once cooled, transfer the grenadine to a clean bottle and refrigerate. It can be stored for up to 2 weeks.

Cocktail Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Add 60 ml of the spiced vodka, 30 ml of fresh lime juice, and 30 ml of house grenadine. Shake well until chilled.

  2. 6

    Serve the Cocktail

    Strain the mixture into a chilled glass filled with ice cubes. Top with 120 ml of sparkling water or club soda. Garnish with a fresh lime wedge.
