Garnish:
Float a dehydrated lime slice
How to make:
SHAKE all ingredients with ice and fine strain into chilled glass.
| 2 fl oz | Ketel One Vodka |
| 1/4 fl oz | Mentzendorff Kümmel liqueur |
| 1/2 fl oz | Lime juice (freshly squeezed) |
| 1/4 fl oz | Sugar syrup (65.0°brix, 2 sugar to 1 water rich syrup) |
Review:
Vodka-laced, delightfully clean and cleansing with kummel's distinctive rich caraway and cumin flavour combining well with lime.
History:
Adapted from a recipe in David Embury's 1948 The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks. Embury had a very dry palate, so we've added 7.5ml (¼oz) sugar to his recipe. Depending on your limes/tastes, you may want to add less or indeed even more.
Incidentally, Tovarishch, tovarisch or tovarish are all Russian for comrade, friend, colleague or ally. Tovaritch was a 1933 play by Jacques Deval which may have been the inspiration for this cocktail.
