premium vodka, and a touch of tequila, PAMA captures the sweet
and tart taste, and seductive color of the wonderfully exotic aphrodisiac…the pomegranate.
will truly sparkle with this grand encore
Yuzu Panna Cotta and a sparkling glass of PAMA Champagne.
Yuzu Panna Cotta:
¾ cups yuzu juice
4 cups of heavy cream
½ cup sugar
1 lime zested
1 lemon zested
4 gelatin leaves, or one 1/4 packet of gelatin
5 vanilla beans
Combine yuzu, cream and sugar. Heat until simmering. Add lime and lemon zest and split & scraped vanilla bean. Cover and allow to infuse for one hour. Strain. Heat up enough to melt bloomed gelatin leaves or gelatin packet. If using the gelatin packet add 2 tablespoons of water to a bowl and sprinkle gelatin over this. Let stand to gel for a few minutes–place gelatin into the heated cream mixture and mix well. Strain cream mixture through chinoise and cool.
You can find YUZU juice at gourmet shops or online at GourmetSleuth.com
Pomegranate Gelee:
2 ½ cup pomegranate juice
½ cup PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur
¾ cup simple syrup (2/4 cups of sugar, 1/4 cup of hot water, mix well)
6 gelatin leaves
Warm together juice, PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur and simple syrup until warm enough to melt bloomed gelatin leaves Strain through chinoise. Note: Simple syrup is a water/sugar mix typically 2 parts sugar / 1 part water.
5-Spice Caramel Sauce:
2 ¾ cups of sugar
5 oz corn syrup
1 vanilla bean
4 cups heavy cream
1 tsp 5-spice
Combine sugar, corn syrup and cook over medium-high heat until caramelized. Add split & scraped vanilla bean and 5-spice powder to heavy cream. Bring to a simmer. Deglaze caramel with cream. Strain through chinoise. Cool.
Citrus Tuile:
1 ½ cup sugar
5 oz a/p flour
6 oz orange juice
1 lemon juiced
Zest of 1 lemon
Zest of 1 orange
1 cup butter, melted and cool
Mix together sugar, zests and flour. Slowly add juice and combine, mixing until there are no lumps! Add butter slowly. Let rest in fridge for at least 2 hours. Smooth a thin amount on a silpat with an off set spatula. Bake at 325 degrees F for 10 minutes. Once cool, break into shards. Note: The Silpat is a liner made of silicone and fiberglass which replaces the need for parchment paper.You can use either.
Assembly / Plating the dish:
Add a small amount of 5 spice caramel in bottom of your glass. Followed by yuzu panna cotta, almost to the top (leaving enough room for gelée). Top with pomegranate gelée. Garnish with citrus tuile.
PAMA and Champagne
1 oz. Champagne (I prefer Veuve Clicquot)
Pour PAMA and Champagne into shaker over ice. Strain into a Champagne flute.
