Zodiac Sign Cocktail: Virgo

2 minute read

Virgo

Date: August 23 – September 22

Element: Earth

Quality: Mutable

People born under the sign of Virgo are said to be analytical, organized, and are perfectionists. We channeled the traits of this earth sign in our Virgo cocktail. To make the cocktail earthy, we used chico as the base flavor of the cocktail. Chico is a seasonal fruit often sold in the early start of the year until summertime, it is fleshy, sweet, and has grain texture perfect for mixing with bourbon.

The chico puree adds an earthiness to this drink and complements the sweetness of the other ingredients. There is a weight to this concoction and a depth of flavor that even the most exacting perfectionists will grow to love. This cocktail will make you let you relax, let your hair down, and enjoy every sip.

Ingredients

30 ml bourbon
30 ml chico purée
15 ml chocolate syrup
10 ml sweet red vermouth
orange peel

Directions

Blend or mash 1 ripe chico (take out the seed) fruit until it reaches a creamy paste texture.
In a shaker, add bourbon, chico purée, chocolate syrup, and red vermouth in a mixing glass.
Add ice and stir.
Strain the liquid into a glass with ice.
Finish with an orange peel.
Garnish with a chico slice and an orange peel.

 

Note: Chico is only available during summer. To enjoy this fruit until the rainy season, convert it into a jam.

How to make a chico jam 

In a pot heat up 1 cup mashed chico fruit (without seed), 3/4 sugar, and 1 1/2 cups of water. Stir the mixture until it is creamy. Make it boil and stir again before turning off the heat. Let it cool and set aside. Place the mixture in a jar and refrigerate. 

If fresh fruit is not available when making the cocktail, replace fresh chico with chico jam but since it will be sweeter, lessen the choco syrup to 5 to 10 ml depending on your taste.
