What's the difference between a cocktail and a drink? Hell, we don't know! As near as can be said, a drink is alcohol, a mixer, and (or not) ice. A cocktail is something carefully constructed using different ingredients and with finesse. Sometimes, but not always, cocktails are served in stemware, fancy glasses. You be the judge.
1 1⁄2 oz Vodka or aquavit
3 oz Carrot juice**
1⁄2 oz Fresh lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Honey syrup (equal parts honey and water)
1 tsp Crystal hot sauce
1 tsp Caper brine Garnish:
Pimenton salt rim*
Parsley sprig Glass: Collins
Coat the rim of a Collins glass with the pimenton salt and fill with ice. Combine all of the ingredients, and stir until chilled. Garnish with a parsley sprig. Pimenton salt rim: Combine 1 tbsp smoked sweet paprika, 1 tbsp salt and 1/2 tbsp cayenne pepper in a small bowl, enough to rim 14 glasses.
