• Ingredients

  • 2.5 oz Great Jones™ Four Grain Bourbon
  • 0.75 oz Dry Vermouth
  • 0.75 oz Sweet Vermouth
  • 0.5 oz Black Truffle Syrup*

• Instructions

  1. In a medium sized sauce pan, combine 1 liter distilled water and 4 cups white, organic, unbleached sugar.
  2. Boil for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by a ¼ (leaving approximately 1 liter of syrup).
  3. Lower the fire to achieve a slow, soft simmer.
  4. Gently shave the 2 medium-sized truffles (120 g) using a very thin setting on a mandolin.
  5. Let simmer for an additional 5 minutes then remove from fire.
  6. Transfer to a non-reactive lidded container and allow to cool, then refrigerate for a minimum of 5 days.
  7. Strain the truffle shavings using a fine strainer and reserve for later use.
  8. Keep truffle syrup refrigerated. It will keep best in a glass container.
  9. Combine all ingredients over ice in a mixing glass.
  10. Stir until well chilled.
  11. Serve up in a chilled cocktail coupe.
  12. Garnish with a black truffle sliver.
