Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 oz Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva Dark Rum
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1 oz salted beet caramel
  • 1 egg white, from 1 large egg
  • toasted black sesame seeds, for garnish
  • 1 lemon peel, for garnish
For the salted beet caramel
  • 8 oz Demerara sugar
  • 2 oz water
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 4 oz fresh beet juice
  • 1 oz black sesame seeds, toasted

Method
 

  1. Combine the first four ingredients in the Boston shaker. Seal the tin, and hard shake for at least 20 seconds to emulsify the egg white. Unseal, fill with ice, and reseal. Shake for a further 10 seconds to chill and dilute.
  2. Unseal and double strain, first through a fine mesh sieve then followed by a Hawthorne strainer, into a chilled coupe glass. Sprinkle a few toasted black sesame seeds onto the very center for garnish and express the lemon peel over top for aromatics; discard the lemon peel. Serve immediately. Cheers!
For the salted caramel syrup
  1. Combine the sugar, water and sea salt in a saucepan. Cook over low heat on a stovetop, stirring until fully dissolved. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Cover the saucepan, and allow to boil, covered, for a further 2 minutes. Uncover, and continue cooking while stirring constantly for a further 5 minutes.
  2. Remove from the heat and stir in the beet juice and sesame seeds (be careful of splatter). Allow to cool and rest for 2 hours, then strain through a fine mesh sieve. Store in an airtight jar for up to two weeks in the refrigerator.
