Feijoa Liqueur question
Hi Community, I was given a bottle of Feijoa Liqueur from NZ. Nice tropical tones but an odd burnt rubber after taste! Can't really find much on line except it seems citrus is a good combo but it still need something else to neutralize the after taste. I have been adding Cointreau and a dash of mezcal which lets the tropical taste shine and neutralize the after taste. Any other suggestions?
Ensalada Cocktail
Wanted to make a cocktail inspired by a side salad made with cilantro, ripe mangoes, and tomato. Chopped up some cilantro, sous vide in vodka at 55°c for 2 hours. Blended some tomato with a pinch of salt. Frozen then thawed to get tomato water. Mixed in malic and citric acid to make tomato acid (3% acidity from added acids). Bought unsweetened mango puree. Clarified this with pectinase (though I've read these are most likely pasteurized, so agar might've been the right move here). Added sugar equivalent to 10% of clarified juice weight. For the build, went with 45mL cilantro vodka, 30mL mango cordial, 15mL bianco vermouth, 7.5mL tomato acid. I can't taste the mango at all. People say the mango comes in the aftertaste but most of them say they don't like the cocktail as a whole. Hahaha. I get not a lot of people like cilantro but I was hoping it would be balanced enough to taste good. Any suggestions to improve on this?
