Velvet Umami Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 oz (60 ml) dark rum

• 1 oz (30 ml) Miso Majesty

• 0.5 oz (15 ml) lemon juice

• 0.5 oz (15 ml) simple syrup

Instructions:

1. Combine the dark rum, Miso Majesty, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a shaker. Imagine you’re about to mix up the ultimate potion.

2. Fill the shaker with ice and shake it like you mean it.

3. Strain this liquid gold into your fanciest glass. Revel in your mixology prowess.

4. Garnish with a lemon twist or a cherry if you’re feeling particularly snazzy.

Why We Love It: The Velvet Umami is a delightful blend of rich dark rum, the umami magic of Miso Majesty, and the bright zing of lemon juice, all rounded out with a touch of sweetness from the simple syrup. It’s smooth, it’s bold, and it’s got a complexity that’ll make you feel like a mixology maestro.

Pro Tips:

• Garnish Like a Pro: While a lemon twist is classic, don’t be afraid to get a little wild. Try a cherry or even a dash of cinnamon for a surprising twist.

• Chill Out: Want to take your Velvet Umami to the next level? Chill your glassware in the freezer before straining the cocktail into it. Because who doesn’t love an extra-cold drink?

• Taste Test: If you’re all about that sweet life, add a bit more simple syrup. Want to amplify the savory kick? Pour in a touch more Miso Majesty.

We hope you enjoy making and sipping on the Velvet Umami as much as we loved creating it. Stay tuned for more cheeky, delicious recipes and mixology hacks from KIMIA!
