  • Dec 2021: Tried with 1 1/2 Tawny Port, 1 Pierre Ferrand Cognac and 1/4 Simple Syrup (per Death & Co). Try with ruby port next time. — ★★★
  • Good but there are much better flips — ★★★
  • 12/24/17: Made with Hennessy VS and Fonseca Bin 27. Would like to try without the sugar next time.

Glenfiddich 18: straight is better. My opinion, off course...

Foggy Notion

2 oz Gin, Plymouth
1⁄4 oz Triple sec, Cointreau
1⁄4 oz Simple syrup
1⁄4 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 oz Sherry vinegar (blackberry infused)
Instructions

Shake all but vinegar with ice.
Strain onto rocks or crushed in a rocks glass, depending on your level of tart vs. Quench. Top with vinegar, which should fall to the bottom making the first sip bracing and subsequent sips sweeter... Its fun!

Notes

For the vinegar i used blis IX; a nine year bourbon-maple barrel aged sherry vinegar. The tart vs quenching question should be asked before deploying such a cocktail. What sort of drinkers have you and what do thy like.... If a very tart shrub would get sent back by even one guest... Serve it o'er crushed and save the ace in the hole(o'er rocks) for someone who really wants to pucker.... That'll save you from pouring more vinegar... Stuff aint cheap!
for the vinegar i took a wide mouthed 500ml bottle and filled it to the top with the freshest and sweetest blackberries i could find. than fill said bottle thusly with as much sherry vinegar as i could fit. let sit for at least 11 days and indefinately. dont use it till the fruit takes the sharpness of of the vinegar. itll still be tart, but just less sharp. my bottle has been sittin on the fruit since late november. ill try to put it in the background when i upload a pic.

History

A guest started asking me when i would make another shrub right after i rolled out the first one.... It took a while(sorry, paul) but it is done.

David,

If you'd rather have the vinegar be correct (Sherry Vinegar, Blis IX), I can do that. Do you have a ratio and instructions for the blackberry infusion? I'll add it to the notes.

Thanks,

Zachary

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.

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
2 ds Celery bitters, Bitter Truth Celery
Instructions

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

Notes

Combine 8 oz Hendrick's gin, 1/3 lb cherry tomatoes (halved), 2 wide strips lemon zest, and 4-6 peppercorns (cracked) to an airtight container and store in a cool, dark location for 5-7 days, shaking once daily. Strain thru fine sieve or cheesecloth and store in a fresh bottle.

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

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.

1 c Ice
