Mildred’s Hole in One: A Sotol and Corn Cocktail

Mildred's Hole in One Baby Gee

A wild ride of bitter, funky, rich, and creamy.

The idea for this cocktail at Baby Gee in Long Beach arose from a Korean sweet corn latte that one of the bartenders brought to the bar’s R&D session. Gianna Johns, co-owner of the bar, tasted the coffee drink and immediately put the ingredients together for a cocktail. “It was a rare moment where I made the drink just once and on the first try we all loved it, hence the name,” she says. (Mildred was the bar’s “infamous building manager.”) The cocktail—made with sotol, reposado tequila, coffee liqueur, Fernet, and sweet corn cream—”is a wild ride between bitter and funky, rich and creamy,” she says.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz. sotol
  • 1 oz. sweet corn cream
  • 3/4 oz. fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 oz. reposado tequila
  • 1/2 oz. coffee liqueur
  • 1/2 oz. simple syrup (1:1)
  • 1/4 oz. Fernet Branca
  • Tools:shaker, strainer
  • Glass:Collins
  • Garnish:corn husk and lime wheel

Preparation

Combine all of the ingredients, except the sweet corn cream, in a shaker with ice. Apply a short shake (4-5 seconds). Strain into the glass over crushed ice. Pack the ice in tight and float the sweet corn cream. Garnish.
Sweet Corn CreamCombine 1/3 cup of sweet corn powder and 1 cup of almond milk in a saucepan. Heat on low, constantly stirring, until sweet corn powder dissolves. Remove from heat. Fine strain through chinois. Weigh sweet corn-infused almond milk. Add 1/2 part sugar by weight while milk is still warm. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Cool. Will keep in the refrigerator for 2 weeks. Yield: 2 cups
