Ingredients
Serves: –+
- Medium-sized muscat pumpkin (or squash) 1 piece
- Cane syrup 240 ml
- Wheat vodka 60 ml
Method
-
Preheat the water to 57°C to prepare this cocktail. While a sous vide thermostat is handling this, you have enough time to prepare all the ingredients.
-
You need to squeeze the juice from the pumpkin. If you have a juicer in your kitchen, consider this to be a piece of cake. If you don't have such a device, then you can do the following: peel the pumpkin and slice it into small pieces. Put them into a saucepan and fill with water. Cook until the pumpkin gets soft. After that, blend the pumpkin with a blender while mixing it with water. In any case, the juice needs to be drawn through a strainer to get rid of a pulp.
-
Before pouring the juice into a vacuum bag, you need to add the syrup. This is where you should know when to stop because it's easy to add too much and ruin the whole thing. Here's a hint: for every 60ml of juice, you need to add 30ml of the cane syrup.
-
Once the syrup has been added, the bag can finally be sealed and immersed in a water bath for 45 minutes.
-
When the time comes, take out the bag from the bath and cool it down. You can just hold it in a cold water for half an hour. This time will be enough to cool it down completely.
-
After that, you need to draw the drink once again. This time draw it directly into a vessel from which you'll pour the punch into glasses. It's also convenient to store the whole batch in a fridge, but no longer than two weeks!
-
The punch has a pleasant orange shade and doesn't need an additional garnishing. However, you can garnish it the way you like it, if you like fancy cocktails!
