Yaga's Crimson Fog

For when a cocktail requires at least one questionable decision…

Not Dead Yet, Chapter 22 - Those Are Not Chicken Legs

MVV1 Crimson Fog.jpg

Tart, smoky, and just suspicious enough to deserve its name, The Crimson Fog is muddled, stirred, strained, and finished with orange peel and a sprig of burning rosemary, because apparently setting part of the garnish on fire is considered reasonable in Baba Yaga’s kitchen. 

  • 1 oz (30 ml) vodka 

  • 1 oz (30 ml) wild elderberry liqueur

  • 1 oz (30 ml) fresh lemon juice

  • 2 oz (60 ml) mead

  • 1 oz (30 ml) Baby Yaga’s secret blend of 27 herbs and spices*

    • *substitute Compari or Select

  • A handful of blackberries

  • A sprig of rosemary

  • A dash of smoked paprika

  • Organic orange peel for garnish

  • Ice

 

1. In a cocktail shaker or small cauldron, muddle the fresh blackberries and half of the rosemary sprig in a mixing glass, releasing their aromas. 

2. Add vodka, elderberry liqueur, fresh lemon juice, mead, Compari and a dash of smoked paprika to the shaker (or cauldron).

3. Add ice and stir gently. 

4. Strain the mixture into a goblet. 

 

Garnish with a carved spiral of orange zest and a sprig of ignited, smoking rosemary.
