Dr. Shochu's Secret Elixir

This bright and briny concoction from the NYC cocktail bar Mister Paradise resembles a dirty Martini and features a unique combination of shochu, fino sherry, and a fortified tomato water dashi. The dashi, a key ingredient, requires some advance preparation but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Additionally, any leftovers can be used to enhance cocktails, salad dressings, and chilled summer soups.
