TL;DR: Sailing the Seas of Cheese is what happens when Portland craft meets umami swagger. Normandie's Judson Winquist built this one to deliver on every edge of the palate — Scotch smokiness, sherry depth, Grand Marnier citrus punch, and a black vinegar caramel curve that lands somewhere between savory and stunner.

Sailing the Seas of Cheese is what happens when Portland craft meets umami swagger.

Normandie's Judson Winquist built this one to deliver on every edge of the palate — Scotch smokiness, sherry depth, Grand Marnier citrus punch, and a black vinegar caramel curve that lands somewhere between savory and stunner. Named after that wonky Primus album, this drink is engineered for porch season complexity.

🥃 INGREDIENTS: • 1 1/2 oz Single Malt Scotch (such as Clynelish 14yr) • 1/2 oz Manzanilla sherry • 1/2 oz Grand Marnier • 1 bar spoon black vinegar caramel • 2 dashes Angostura bitters • Orange peel for garnish

🥄 METHOD: 1. Prepare black vinegar caramel: In a saucepan, combine one 20-ounce bottle of Kong Yen black vinegar with 1 cup of brown sugar. Reduce by half and let cool. 2. Combine Single Malt Scotch, Manzanilla sherry, Grand Marnier, black vinegar caramel, and Angostura bitters in a mixing glass. 3. Add ice and stir until well-chilled. 4. Strain over a large ice cube in a rocks glass. 5. Express orange oil over the top and discard the peel.

Save this for the next time someone challenges what belongs in a glass.
