When it comes to creating unique cocktails, mixologists seem to have no trouble conjuring up their next unexpected star ingredient. From chia seeds to kombucha, squid ink to barbecue sauce, there’s really no shortage of unexpected boozy beverage additions.

So what the heck is burrata water, anyway? The process of making cheese, including burrata, involves adding some sort of acid to milk and curdling it, resulting in a separation of the whey and curds that make up the calcium-rich beverage. The curds go on to become cheese, while the whey is either discarded, made into protein powder, or used to store cheese—as is the case with burrata juice. Some also call this liquid burrata water.
This water is rich in carbohydrates, protein, acid, and oftentimes salt and helps to keep delicate burrata—a semi-soft cheese combining mozzarella and cream originating in Italy—fresh, soft, and protected during storage and transport.
But how does burrata juice go from a storage medium to a drink addition? Well, like many cocktail trends, it all started in Brooklyn, New York. In 2019, Oxalis restaurant’s beverage director, Piper Kristensen, came up with the idea as a way of repurposing the flavorful liquid that their head chef would have otherwise poured down the drain. She found it created an egg white-level foaminess and interesting flavor in their signature cocktail featuring the cheesy byproduct, the Breakfast Martini.
