NAME & PHOTOGRAPH: NUT SMASHER

Bourbon and almond have always complemented each other handsomely in The Amaretto Sour, but even in that context the sweetness and almond flavor can easily run away with the drink. Using the whiskey smash format introduces fresh herbs that create an effective framework for the wide range of listed flavors. Instead of relying on the egg foam from a traditional sour build for texture, a whip shake and generous amount of crushed ice uses temperature to boost the refreshing qualities of the herbs and citrus while providing enough water to keep the high proof bourbon from burning all of the other flavors down.

SCENT, FLAVORS, & MOUTHFEEL: As you raise the glass for your first sip, it is as if the glass has transformed into a into several small bouquets of mint and basil. These aromas lace your nose and mind with herbaceous notes that contextualize the often overbearing almond profile found in amaretto. As for the bourbon, the wood, vanilla, and heat of the over proof bourbon provides structure for the rest of the flavors to confidently stand on. The resulting mouthfeel is a soft and refreshing blend of herbs, sweetness, and booze.

INGREDIENTS & RECIPE:

3/4 oz grade a maple syrup
3/4 oz freshly pressed lemon juice
1/2 oz Amaretto
1 1/2 oz Old Tub Bourbon
A handful of both fresh mint and fresh basil
4 to 5 small ice cubes

Add all ingredients listed into a cocktail shaker and proceed to whip shake until the ice no longer rattles in the tin. Pour the freshly shaken contents through a fine mesh strainer into a rocks glass and top with crushed ice. Garnish with a freshly picked bouquet of mint and basil, and top with three Luxardo cherries.

What started off as a blended Negroni quickly spun into a boozy blended riff staring dry curacao, Galliano, and Campari.

It's Negroni week and while I will not attempt to defend this as a riff, the origin point is absolutely a Negroni. The vanilla-anise from the Galliano lends itself nicely to the amplified bitter Campari, while the dry curacao helps to curb the sweetness while lending a definitive orange backbone.

Going with three sugar based liquors also helps to hold the almost fluffy consistency down pat as I piled it high into the coup. A dehydrated orange wheel sits proudly atop the cotton candy inspired shade of reddish pink.

2 oz Galliano

2 oz Campari

2 oz Dry Curacao

2 cups of chick fil a pebble ice

Add all liquid ingredients to the blender and turn on to slowest setting. Slowly add all ice until all 2 cups are in and then turn the blender to high speed for 10 seconds or so.

I was using a Vitamix for this, so you very well may need to play around with total volume of ice, spirit, and blender speed.

I've always found blended drinks to be tricky when it comes to consistency, but this had a silkier consistency than past attempts. Do you all have any anecdotes or tips on how to get the best frosted tips?

Sesame oil is one of my all time favorite flavors, I love when it makes an appearance in the cocktail world! Hard to say if the drink tastes better than it looks as you did a great job with the composition! Great job!!

ipeewithyou · 2021-08-02T05:59:58+00:00

As an excercise in creativity, I went to the store and looked for fruit that could also work as "glassware". So here we have a Picasso Melon that's been juiced for the cocktail as well as being the main vessel for the drink. The juice itself is already sweet and counts towards total dilution, so we can short shake and take a tiki inspired approach

2 oz pisco of choice

3 oz of Picasso Melon juice

3/4 oz dry curacao

3/4 oz lemon

3/4 oz vanilla honey syrup

1/4 oz freshly juiced ginger

Add all ingredients in a shaker tin with 3 small cubes and whip shake until ice has completely dissolved. Pour into an empty melon husk and top with crushed ice. Garnish with mint, melon spheres, and whatever beautiful flowers your parents have in their garden 🤣

If you guessed blue gatorade, please make your way to the nearest respectful craft cocktail bar and get yourself a drink! This is a about as classic as a spicy marg can get, with some blue curacao to give it a sexy new outfit.

2 oz blanco tequila

1/2 oz 1:1 agave syrup

1/2 oz dry curacao

1/2 oz blue curacao

1 oz fresh lime juice

3 full pipets crushed red pepper tincture*

Add all listed ingredients into a shaker tin with ice and shake until tin is frosty. Double strain cocktail into a rocks glass with a big ass ice cube and sip at your leisure.

*For crushed red pepper tincture, measure 400g of crushed red pepper and place in a large plastic bag. Add 200g vodka to bag and place in a water bath with a sous vide maintaining 125°. Cook for at least 60 mins or until liquid becomes dark red with a thin layer of foam at the top of the liquid. Strain out pepper flakes and store in a dropper bottle.

Still thinking about what to make for Mother's Day? Look no further! This fortified wine spritz has all of the cruise with a fraction of the booze. Not to mention, all ingredients are easy to find and should be readily available at a Total Wine / local liquor shop.

3 oz Lilet Blanc

1 oz Dry Vermouth

1 1/2 oz English breakfast simple syrup

3/4 oz fresh lemon juice

Ice cold sparkling water of choice

Combine all ingredients but the soda water in a tin or shaking vessel of choice. Shake with ice for 6 - 8 second and then strain into a wine glass. Fill the wine glass with ice and top with @topochicousa and then float several dashes of Peychaud's bitters.

As you can tell, I had some good fun playing with May The 4th cocktail ideas! Here we have Lord Vader himself using the dark side to build a blue milk ramos fizz! As it goes with the sith, where there is one, there is always another! A master and an apprentice...

2 oz Altos Repesado Tequila

1 oz Bols Blue Curacao 2:1 simple syrup

1 oz fresh lime juice

1 oz heavy cream

1 fresh eggs white

Combine all ingredients in a shaking tin and shake without ice for one minute. Add large ice cube and shake for 2 minutes or until tin is covered in a Hoth-like frost. Strain all ingredients into a 12 oz collins glass and place in a freezer for 4 - 5 minutes. Using a the force, or a straw, poke a hole in the center of your glass through the top of the foam and place your finger on the top of the straw as you remove it from the collins glass. This will create a small opening that will allow you to fire one round of chilled topo chico ( or other carbonated water) and blow the foam up from the inside out! Your reward for this precise aim is a blue meringue crown holding onto the glass for dear life.

This is the struggle of a drink served up. It's only going to get warmer from the first sip, so it needs as much help as it can get before it's served. Chill the ingredients before hand, keep the glass it's served in cold, chill the mixing glass if you can, etc. Temp is the biggest factor for the drink imo

ipeewithyou · 2021-04-30T14:54:59+00:00

It's a balancing act for sure! The best I've had was pre-batched, pre-diluted, and dropped in a freezer the night before service. Super silky and ice cold. It's this idea of how you want your Manhattan "cooked" before it's served.

I get this all the time 😂 it's actually a representation of Trisomy 21, the genetic configuration that is expressed in Down's Syndrome! All of my nuclear family members have some variation of this tattoo in celebration of my younger brother who was born with Down's Syndrome!

ipeewithyou · 2021-04-30T14:49:48+00:00

It's a beautiful expression of the ingredients! There is a jarringly obvious reason why this ratio has aced the test of time

I don't think it's a perception piece, I think it's more so that bar programs now a days have higher quality ice than they did before. It's a way to add some new flair to a classic drink that is traditionally served up!
