The Spirits Lifted is a Marvel cocktail that was created by Alex Sukopp, former bartender of Sips From Scripts, for the release of the WandaVision television show. It's a boozy interpretation of paprikash, Wanda Maximoff's favorite dish that Vision attempted to make in one of their first scenes together in the movie Captain America: Civil War. It's made using the classic Martini formula with a split base of peppered gin, Russian vodka, and garlic vodka and is flavored with vermouth, a homemade paprika tincture, smoke and salt bitters, and cocktail onions.
Add peppered gin, vodka, garlic vodka, blanc vermouth, paprika tincture, and bitters to a mixing glass.
Fill mixing glass with cubed ice.
Using a bar spoon, stir for 30-45 seconds until well-chilled and slightly diluted.
Using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer, strain into a Nick & Nora glass.
Garnish with cocktail onions.
