Suplada Spritz

Suplada Spritz

The Superlatta Spritz was created by Oakland, California bartender Napier Bulanan. It was inspired by adobo, a Filipino dish featuring braised meat marinated in vinegar and soy sauce. It's not that often that cocktails fall on the savory side, and this one presents an incredible balance of flavors.

  • 1 Thai Chili Pepper

  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 1/2 tsp Black Peppercorns
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Vinegar
  • 1/2 cup Muscovado Sugar

Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients, except for the cava, in a wine glass filled with ice.
  2. Top with cava.
  3. Garnish with an orange twist and a bay leaf.

Adobo Shrub

  1. Add all ingredients except sugar to a container and cover.
  2. Let sit for 24 hours, then combine with sugar and stir until dissolved.
  3. Strain into a resealable container.
