Pearl & Pepper

Hakan Sönmez

Fourth Wave

An oyster needs very little. A touch of heat, a crack of black pepper, a splash of acidity, and it comes alive. Pearl & Pepper takes that familiar ritual and turns it into a cocktail. Absolut Tabasco brings the heat, green plum bring freshness and acidity, while oyster saline adds a subtle taste of the sea, and wild Madagascar peppers brings the peppery crunch in the cocktail. The garnish completes the story: an oyster leaf topped with shallot mignonette with red wine vinegar, Absolut Tabasco and freshly cracked wild Madagascar pepper. Everything you would want with an oyster is already there; just without the oyster. Pearl & Pepper: the oyster experience, reimagined in a glass.
