Process
Mix the Whiskey, Vermouth, Lemon, Simple syrup, and bitters in a Yarai mixer or beaker, and
stir gently. Pour the mixture into a separate glass already containing the whole milk. Allow curdling. Secure a coffee filter over your Yarai or beaker, and slowly pour the curdled mixture into
the filter.
Allow to strain, 15 minutes approximately.
Discard the coffee filter with milk residue.
In a fresh tumbler glass, coat the bottom of the glass with the Turbinado Carambolage
reduction. Place one large (2” cube) ice in a glass. Gently pour the cocktail from the yarai/beaker
over the ice, taking care not to disturb the reduction. Carefully float the Carambolage on the
cocktail
Garnish with two skewered 40 knots pickled grapes, wrapped in a long piece of lemon rind.
