History

Andy asked me to make something with bourbon, bitters, lemon and ginger.... So i did. This is it.
He said it tasted like summer... I said, is she cute? since summer for andy sounds cheesy and summer with andy sounds nostalgic, that's what its called.
Miss you buddy.happy diving!

Gun Club Shrub

2 oz Gold rum, Matusalem Classico
3⁄4 oz Pineapple juice
1⁄2 oz Orange oleo-saccharum (see note)
1⁄4 oz Triple sec, Cointreau
1⁄2 oz White balsamic vinegar, Old World Olive Press (coconut infused)
Instructions

Combine all ingredients except the vinegar in a shaker and shake. Strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice. Float vinegar on top. Garnish with half orange wheel. Smile.

Notes

This is an insanely bright and gently balanced beverage. If you are trying to recreate using a different vinegar with higher acidity be sure to adjust the sugar and alcohol accordingly.

To make the oleo-saccharum: in tupperware or a zip-top bag combine 1.25 cups sugar and the peel (no white pith) of 2 oranges. Muddle the zest into the sugar until the sugar is moist, and remove the zest.

Created at the oakland for the owop in summer 2011

Zachary Pearson commented on 1/24/2012:

Hi David,

Thank you for posting this cocktail. I cleaned things up a bit - First, let me invite you to read the Style Guidelines, which are very helpful if you're learning how to input cocktails into the database correctly.

I did the following: removed "fresh squeezed" from the pineapple juice - we assume all juices are fresh. It makes the cocktail much easier for people to read if each ingredient is on one line, so I moved the instructions for the oleo-saccharum from the cocktail itself into the notes section. I made Cointreau a brand of Triple Sec instead of Curaçao. I removed most of the note from the white balsamic, which included the Old World Olive Press website. Finally, I cleaned up the instructions for making the drink. 

Thanks,

Zachary

Black Rainbow

4 oz Ale, New Holland Dragon's Milk Ale
3⁄4 oz Rye, Bulleit (honey ginger infused)
1 Egg white
6 dr Chicory bitters
Instructions

Pour stout into rocks glass. Dry shake rye with egg white, add crushed ice, then hard shake about 45 seconds.
Float honey ginger egg foam over a bar spoon slowly at first with a quick drop to form the middle layer.
Drop chickory bitters onto the top of the drink, in a star or hex or triangle if you like, but NEVER a smiley face.

Notes

The final beverage should look like it goes from black as the abyss on bottom and billowy white clouds atop with luscious brownish bubbly layers in between.Very rich and light, dessert like and somewhat sweet.

To make the honey-ginger Rye, take 10 oz by weight of honey with 50-65 grams thin sliced ginger and infuse with 16 oz rye for at least 4 hours, but up to 24.

History

I made this after i read about the early colonial 'flip' that used whole eggs, high gravity ale and varied spices from publican to publican, but always cooked with a fire poker and flipped between two heavy mugs and fortified with a spirit. Also oft served with a chunk of bread in it to be nutritive as well as cure what ailed you. I wanted a more modern approach and and something a little more quenching and less burnt and gross. Here you go....now go invent your own!

Zachary Pearson commented on 1/24/2012:

Curated this: Moved instructions for making the infused rye to the notes section, changed the type of beer to Ale (instead of Stout - New Holland calls their beer an Ale). Removed shaking instructions from the egg white entry. Changed bitters from House made to Homemade. Do you have a recipe you'd like to share for them? 

Do you shake the egg white and rye just for the foam it creates, or is the rye added to the drink? 

purple gangsters commented on 1/24/2012:

thanks for your help.
its just a foam that add another layer and texture to what the stout brings. this is a heavy and strong (10%abv) beer.
chicory bitters recipe will follow shortly.

Off The Vine

2 oz Gin, Hendrick's (tomato infused, see notes)
1⁄2 oz Vodka, Sobieski (Cucumber infused)
1⁄2 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Americano
1⁄4 oz Lemon juice

Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice and double strain into a chilled cocktail couple. Garnish with a wide strip of lemon zest.

Is the Sobieski cucumber an infusion, or is this something new from them?

Thanks,

venture mixologist commented on 1/25/2012:

Hey Zach -

Nope, just a simple infusion. So easy to make I've never actually tried an off the shelf version of cucumber vodka.

  • Quite good, although I found the allspice taste a bit strong - surprised since there's only 1/4 oz of allspice dram. Used Chairman's Reserve spiced rum, maybe a different rum would change that. I only had almond orgeat but hazelnut sounds good in this.

8stringfan commented on 12/19/2015:

Tasty, and despite appearing to be a winter-spiced drink, it would work wonderfully as a light summertime sour.  I subbed in my regular homemade orgeat because I'm sure it doesn't make much of a difference at 1/4 oz.  I also served it up in a chilled coupe because it really seemed like more appropriate glassware.  It's already well-diluted and is a somewhat small drink, so pouring it over ice seems like a recipe for quick over-dilution.

Hi Shannon,

Can you give us recipes for the Chai infusion and the ginger shrub? It would help people make your cocktail.

Dan commented on 1/25/2012:

I changed "vinegar" to "ginger shrub". I believe the poster intends to use 1/4oz of ginger shrub made with cider vinegar.
