Grape Milk Wash
It got a little 'bruised' before the party, wrapped in a bandage, wearing a fake eye, and pretending everything is fine. The gentle collision of grape juice and milk creates a humorous contrast of purple-red and snow-white. Though it looks scary, it's actually a reminder: a little broken can still be delicious.

- 威士忌葡萄醉呈现出优雅复杂的多层次风味体验。经过奶洗处理的威士忌完全褪去了原有的烟熏和泥煤刺激感，变得柔和圆润如天鹅绒般顺滑，但仍保留威士忌标志性的谷物麦芽香气和橡木桶的木质气息。葡萄汁带来清新的果香和淡淡的葡萄皮涩感，为整体增添了果香维度和天然甜美。茉莉花茶的清雅花香优雅地贯穿始终，带来东方茶道的禅意和花园般的浪漫氛围，与威士忌的西方烈酒特质形成东西方文化的美妙融合。接骨木糖浆是点睛之笔，其独特的欧洲花香和淡淡蜂蜜甜美增添了贵族气质和复古浪漫感，如同在英式花园中品茶般优雅。柠檬汁的酸度被奶洗彻底柔化，只留下明快的清新感而完全没有尖锐刺激。整体口感丝滑顺畅、优雅精致、层次丰富，带有威士忌的醇厚、葡萄的果香、茉莉的花香、接骨木的浪漫和淡淡奶香的复合风味。这是一款极具文化融合感的鸡尾酒，既有威士忌的深度又有茶和花的轻盈，既现代又复古。尾韵悠长雅致，花香与果香交织，麦芽余韵温柔萦绕。完美适合下午茶时光、优雅聚会或需要静心品味的时刻，是一杯需要慢慢欣赏的液体艺术品。

Ingredients
6 ingredients
Method
- 01
Prepare 60ml of jasmine tea in advance: steep jasmine tea leaves in hot water for about 3-5 minutes until the tea turns golden and fragrant, then strain the leaves and cool to room temperature.
- 02
Prepare 50ml of fresh grape juice: use white or red grapes (white grapes are lighter, red grapes are richer) or high-quality 100% pure grape juice. If freshly squeezed, strain out the pulp and seeds.
- 03
In a shaker, add 40ml of milk-washed whiskey, 50ml of grape juice, 60ml of cooled jasmine tea, 15ml of elderflower syrup, and 20ml of fresh lemon juice.
- 04
Add 120ml of milk and gently stir to initially mix the ingredients. The milk will start to curdle when it meets the lemon juice, which is the core principle of milk washing.
- 05
Add ice to the shaker and stir vigorously (or gently shake) for 15-20 seconds to ensure all ingredients are well mixed. Be careful not to stir too vigorously to avoid excessive foam.
- 06
Use a fine mesh strainer or coffee filter for the first filtration, pouring the liquid into a clean container to remove large curdled milk particles and ice cubes. The liquid may still appear slightly cloudy at this stage.
- 07
Seal the filtered liquid and refrigerate for 30 minutes. During this time, the milk washing continues, with milk proteins adsorbing bitter substances and impurities from the whiskey and other ingredients, settling at the bottom, and the liquid gradually becoming clearer.
- 08
After refrigeration, carefully remove the container without shaking to avoid stirring up the sediment. Use a coffee filter or multiple layers of fine mesh cloth for a second fine filtration, patiently filtering until the liquid is completely clear and bright.
- 09
⑨ Pour the clarified liquid into a highball glass or old fashioned glass filled with fresh ice.
- 10
⑩ Optional garnish: add 2-3 fresh grapes or a small edible flower (such as a pansy) to the glass to enhance the European garden atmosphere.
- 11
⑪ Serve immediately and savor this elegant and refined milk-washed whiskey cocktail.
