Crimson Smoke

AI-generatedEasyHighball

A bold, spiced Bloody Mary grown up with smoky heat and an unexpected coconut undertow.


Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 oz vodka
  • 3 1/4 oz tomato juice
  • 1/2 oz lemon juice
  • 3/4 oz coconut cream
  • 4 dashes angostura bitters
  • 1 pinch cayenne
  • 2 cracks black pepper
  • 1 pinch salt

Method

  1. 11. Combine vodka, lemon juice, coconut cream, angostura bitters, cayenne, black pepper, and salt in a shaker with ice.
  2. 22. Add tomato juice last to prevent excessive foaming, then seal the shaker.
  3. 33. Roll the cocktail — pour back and forth between shaker tins twice — rather than shaking, to preserve the texture.
  4. 44. Strain over fresh ice in a highball glass.
  5. 55. Taste and adjust heat with an additional pinch of cayenne if desired.

PRO TIP

Rolling instead of shaking aerates gently and keeps the tomato juice silky rather than frothy — the coconut cream will integrate beautifully.

Garnish — rosemary sprig dusted with a pinch of cayenne
