THE BLACK FOREST RECIPE BY TASTY



The Black Forest Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: water, granulated sugar, grenadine, blue curaçao, rich simple syrup, gin, fresh lemon juice, crushed ice, fresh thyme, pink peppercorn

Provided by Chris Rosa

Categories     Drinks

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup water
2 cups granulated sugar
¾ oz grenadine
1 oz blue curaçao
½ oz rich simple syrup
1 ½ oz gin
¾ oz fresh lemon juice
1 cup crushed ice
1 small bunch fresh thyme, plus 2 sprigs, for garnish, divided
¼ teaspoon pink peppercorn, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the rich simple syrup: Add the water and sugar to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 2 minutes, until the sugar is fully dissolved. Transfer to a glass jar and let cool. The syrup will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Make the cocktail: Add the grenadine, blue curacao, rich simple syrup, gin, and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker and fill with ½ cup (70 G) ice. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds, until combined.
  • Carefully light the bunch of thyme on fire with a kitchen torch. Blow out the flame and invert a highball glass over the thyme to capture the smoke. Let sit for 30 seconds.
  • Fill the glass with the remaining ½ cup ice, strain the cocktail into the glass, and garnish with the remaining 2 sprigs of thyme and the pink peppercorns.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh black cherries for the best flavor. Frozen cherries can also be used, but they should be thawed and pitted before using.
  • If you don't have kirschwasser, you can substitute another cherry liqueur or brandy.
  • Be careful not to over-shake the cocktail, as this will dilute it and make it too watery.
  • Garnish the cocktail with a cherry and a sprig of mint for a festive touch.
  • Serve the cocktail immediately.

Conclusion:

The Black Forest Cocktail is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of sweet cherries, chocolate, and kirschwasser creates a unique and flavorful drink that is sure to please everyone.
