Cumin has a strong tradition in the Czech environment, but it is often perceived as a heavy or purely “local” distillate. This cocktail shows her different face. It is based on the same basis as classic Collins cocktails, but instead of gin it works with cumin.
Fresh lemon juice and sugar syrup create balance, soda lightens the drink and opens up the aromatics of cumin. The result is a surprisingly fresh and modern drink that shatters long-held notions of cumin. Caraway Collins is an ideal demonstration of how traditional raw material can be used in contemporary mixology without losing character.
