Thumper’s Revenge

Written By Daniel Zajic

THUMPER’S REVENGE

  • 1½ oz. / 45 ml. horseradish vodka

  • 2½ oz. / 75 ml. fresh carrot juice

  • ½ oz. / 15 ml. fresh lime juice

  • ¼ oz. / 7.5 ml. honey syrup

  • 6–8 mint leaves

METHOD
add all ingredients to shaker tin / add ice / shake until chilled / fine strain* into glass over fresh ice (or champagne flute with no ice) / garnish with mint bouquet after slapping to express oils

*TIP: put your mint into a reusable tea bag so you don’t have to worry about clogging your strainer or double straining

ABOUT
This one was created by Ryan Magarian (@ryanmagarianpdx) for Hamlet (now closed; Portland, OR), where I was often a patron. Honestly, I could sip this all day—the mint is refreshing and the horseradish packs a wonderful punch. Originally served in a glass over ice, but I couldn't resist making it look like a carrot. Cheers y’all!
