Gettin' Milky with Nut is an unconventional cocktail from Le Syndicat in Paris that incorporates cheese in an unexpected way for a light, refreshing drink. What's more, this cocktail works with one of the stinkiest cheeses in the world, blue cheese, and it's used in a pre-batched clarification format called milk punch. This process sees milk and cheese added to a spirit mix with walnut vinegar so that the curd and whey separate for a subtle infusion of flavor and super-smooth texture. "Even if you use fish or meat, milk punch softens the flavors," explains Thibault Massina, Le Syndicat's creative director.
Alongside Roquefort—sheep milk blue cheese from Southern France—milk and walnut vinegar, this unconventional cocktail features gin and curry for a touch of sweetness.
Like other cocktails on the menu at Le Syndicat, Gettin' Milky with Nut is exclusively made with French spirits and liqueurs.
