Open Sesame

In an effort to reduce food waste and offer multiple recipes for the special ingredients I come up with, this cocktail features the Toasted Sesame and White Miso Liqueur I made recently for a class. While brainstorming new cocktails, my first instinct was to pair this with a light Japanese Whiskey that complimented the liqueur without overpowering it! The combination of flavors, paired with the texture added from the egg white make for a delicious, light, and flavorful cocktail. You can find the recipe for the liqueur on my Syrups & More page.
