Tucked away in Melbourne’s smallest laneway, Aster is a hidden gem known for its exceptional cocktails and dedication to local flavours. Here, they share the recipe for their signature Breakfast Milk Punch - a bold and innovative take on a classic that is perfect for any time of day.
Breakfast Milk Punch
Serves 1
Ingredients
For the Cocktail:
· 30ml Gin (avoid savory gins; choose one with pronounced citrus flavours)
· 30ml Amaro Montenegro
· 30ml Mixed Berry Jam Syrup
· 30ml Lemon Juice
· 30ml Greek Yoghurt
· 30ml Full Cream Milk
For the Mixed Berry Jam Syrup:
· Combine equal parts of your favourite berry jam and boiling water in a mixing jug. Stir until the jam melts into a smooth syrup.
Instructions
1. Add all ingredients (except the yoghurt and milk) to a mixing jug and set aside.
2. In a separate container, combine the yoghurt and milk, stirring until smooth.
3. Slowly pour the alcohol mixture into the dairy mixture. Place in the fridge and let it infuse for 2–24 hours.
4. Remove the mixture from the fridge and pour it through a paper towel or oil filter-lined strainer. Allow it to drip strain completely.
5. Once strained and clarified, pour over ice and enjoy!
Notes
· This recipe can be scaled up as much as needed.
· Once strained and clarified, the cocktail can be stored for up to one month.
