Auster is a mysterious and bold drink from German cuisine that combines unexpected ingredients. Its history traces back to the traditions of drinking strong alcoholic mixes valued for their rich flavor and invigorating effect. The base is gin, while raw egg yolk adds smoothness and a unique texture to the drink. Spicy seasonings, black and red ground pepper enhance the sharpness and flavor. Vegetable oil leaves a thin film on the glass walls, making each sip smoother. This cocktail is meant for daring gourmets who appreciate originality and rich taste. Auster is consumed in one gulp, emphasizing its character — quick, sharp, but memorable.
