Two in the Pink

Ingredients:


  • 400ml rhubarb vodka
  • 200ml strawberry vanilla syrup
  • 100ml Select Aperitivo
  • 175ml coconut kefir

Directions:


  1. The following recipe makes 10 servings. In a cambro combine the rhubarb vodka, strawberry vanilla syrup and Select Aperitivo
  2. In another cambro, add the coconut kefir
  3. Slowly pour half of the cocktail mixture into the coconut kefir, then allow to rest for at least 15 minutes
  4. Pour another quarter of the mixture in, if the kefir breaks quickly pour the rest of the cocktail mixture in. If it does not break, allow to rest again for 15 minutes before adding the remaining cocktail mix
  5. Pour the curdled cocktail mixture into a cloth bag with a container underneath
  6. Once roughly 15 per cent of the liquid has passed through, begin to take samples to see if the mixture is running clear. Once it is, replace the container underneath the filter bag and por the first part of liquid back into a coffee filter. Pour gently over a spoon so as not to break up the filter bed of curds that has now formed
  7. Scale up above quantities as needed
