Toronto Restaurants Ultimate Cocktail Guide - Alo's Threefold

Alo Cocktail Threefold Toronto Restaurants Stephanie Dickison.jpg

Trying to score a reso at award-winning restaurant Alo ain’t easy. It takes a combination of patience, persistence, and willingness to plan dinner months in advance.

One of their stellar cocktails, however, is thankfully much easier to come by.

Alo Food Group’s Corporate Bar Manager Robin Kaufman hatched Threefold, a magical li’l number you can now recreate at home. You’ll need some elevated ingredients and a little of that patience and persistence, but the rewards (1. A sophisticated cocktail well worth your time and effort; 2. Knowing how to make clarified buttermilk syrup like a boss; 3. A levelled-up home bar) are mighty. And just in time to ring in the new year.

Threefold

Recipe:

1oz Martell VS Cognac
1oz Pisco Gobernador
0.75oz Clarified Buttermilk Syrup (see recipe below)
0.75oz fresh Lemon and Lime juice (50:50 blend)
2 Dashes Amargo Chuncho Peruvian Bitters

Garnish:

Grated Nutmeg
Skewered Sliced Grapes (3 slices)

Method:

1. Add all ingredients except nutmeg and grapes to shaker.
2. Add ice and shake.
3. Fine strain into coupe with ice chunk.
4. Grate nutmeg over top.
5. Garnish with sliced grapes.

Clarified Buttermilk Syrup:

1. Heat 500ml of Buttermilk until it visibly splits (about 5 minutes).
2. Allow split buttermilk to chill (this will help it stay separated).
3. Filter through cheesecloth carefully not squeezing too hard.
4. Liquid will be almost translucent.
5. Mix equal parts sugar to clarified milk and blend in Vitamix until sugar is dissolved.
6. Store in refrigerator.
