The Smokey Grove

Bloody Mary

Savory and complex. It's a play on two
classic styles of Manhattans. From King
Street Oyster Bar, Middleburg and
Leesburg

Tomato practically defines the savory "umami"
principle, and a classic Bloody Mary can be
tweaked with additions such as finely minced
peppers or cucumbers, hot sauce, pickle juice,
clam juice or specialty spices. Garnishes include
bacon, pepperoncini, cherry tomatoes and bell
pepper slices. And experiment with liquors
besides vodka to add depth of flavor: tequila,
mezcal, bourbon or moonshine and others.

▷▷2 oz. fig-infused High West Double
Rye whiskey
▷▷½ oz. Trincheri dry vermouth
▷▷½ oz. Trincheri sweet vermouth
▷▷2 dashes Angostura bitters
▷▷2 spritzes of Ardbeg Corruvreckan
Scotch

Infuse the whiskey: Take 500 grams
(about 2½ cups) of dried figs per 750ml
bottle of High West Double Rye whiskey.
Cut the figs in half and combine both
whiskey and figs into a large glass jar.
Save the whiskey bottle for the infused
whiskey. Let rest for 72 hours and shake
occasionally. Fine strain to remove all fig
pieces and seeds. Infusion will store at
room temperature for about 6 weeks.
Make the cocktail: Add all ingredients into
mixing glass filled with ice. Stir over ice for
20 to 25 seconds. Strain into chilled coupe
or martini glass. Spritz the Scotch over
the top and garnish with brandy-soaked
cherries on a pick.
