Speciality Recipe

DALGONA FOAM (by weight) • 10 oz whole milk • 1 oz instant espresso • 5 oz confectioners sugar • 1 oz (by volume) sesame-oil-fat-washed Dulce Oro Reposado Instructions: 1. Whip together lightly to incorporate ingredients until smooth. 2. Add into a large ISI charger (must hold a 750ml). 3. 1 N2O charge. 4. Allow 2 hours to cool in fridge before serving. SESAME OIL FAT-WASH Gives subtle depth without making it taste like stir-fry. Round, slightly nutty, roasted undertone — pairs beautifully with espresso + cocoa nibs. 1. Add 1-2 tsp toasted sesame oil to 8 oz of honey tequila. 2. Stir, let sit 2-3 hours, then freeze overnight. 3. Strain out solids/oil. COCOA NIB LICOR 43 INFUSION Per 8 oz volume of spirit, infuse 1 oz of cocoa nibs overnight. Strain the next day with a coffee filter or tight-grain chinois. Serve.

Method

Shake base ingredients with ice. Pour over a large cube. Top with dalgona foam from ISI charger. Garnish with smoked sea salt over the top.
