RECIPE: Maple Mushroom Martini
Permaculture designer and author Michael Judd gets really excited about mushrooms. So when he found this recipe for a mushroom infused cocktail, he was barely able to contain himself. It may sound strange, but Judd swears this sweet mushroomy cocktail is magically delicious.
The following is an excerpt from Edible Landscaping with a Permaculture Twist by Michael Judd. It has been adapted for the web.
The magic in this mushroom martini is the infused mushroom vodka. To some this may not sound appealing, but it must be tried. Mushrooms and vodka blend so smoothly and can actually have a tonic effect – magic for the soul and body.
Ingredients
- 2 oz. mushroom-infused vodka
- ¾ tsp maple syrup
- 5-6 dashes orange bitters
- ½ tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1 dash aromatic bitters
Mushroom Vodka
- ¼ cup dried Chanterelle Mushrooms or fresh* shroom of choice
- 1 cup vodka
Procedure
- Combine ingredients in a jar, seal, and infuse for about 3 days. Strain. *If using fresh mushrooms, you will need more, so fill the jar and cover with vodka.
- Mix all of the above ingredients in a cocktail shaker or jar with ice.
This drink has the flavor of the mushroom, with a touch of sweetness from the maple, balanced with the tart lemon juice and bitters. In all, I think this was pretty delicious! I wouldn’t mind having another.
Cheers!
