Lisbon’s Monkey Mash breaks down the creative process behind the bar’s hop- and spirulina-infused take on the Chartreuse classic (via punch_drink)
Lisbon’s Monkey Mash breaks down the creative process behind the bar’s hop- and spirulina-infused take on the Chartreuse classic.—it’s a bona fide cocktail destination in its own right. In fact, though the two are sibling bars, their décor and atmosphere could not be more different.
To make the first ingredient, Gomes infuses the gin with Mosaic hops before distilling the infusion in a rotary evaporator, creating a hop distillate. By redistilling the infused gin, he captures all of the volatile compounds and citrusy aromatics of the hops, leaving behind their bitterness. For the other half of the base, Gomes infuses the gin with locally sourced spirulina, a blue-green algae from the Azores, with an ultrasonic homogenizer .
“In the beginning, our goal was to create a cocktail that was very clean, visually and texturally,” says Gomes. However, the final product was cloudy, thanks to the spirulina-infused gin. But the unexpected drink was perfect as is: “We loved the result anyway and decided to put it on the menu.”
