FRENCH 75
2 oz Dry Gin
.5 oz Fresh Lemon
.25 oz Simple Syrup*
Float of Dry Sparkling Wine
Garnish: Long, curly peel of Lemon
DIRECTIONS: Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice and shake hard for ten seconds. Double-strain into a flute and float sparkling wine on top. Garnish lemon peel.
*Simple Syrup: Heat one part filtered water and one part white sugar until sugar is dissolved. Bottle and refrigerate for up to three weeks.
HEIRLOOM TOMATO BLOODY MARY
1.5 oz – 2 oz Vodka
4-5 oz Bloody Mary Mix (We love Natural Blonde from Charleston)
.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper
3-4 dashes tabasco (more if you like extra spicy)
DIRECTIONS: Build all ingredients in a collins glass with ice. Stir until mixed. Garnish with celery stick, lemon and lime wedge.
NYC’S GARIBALDI
1.5 oz Campari
4 oz Fresh Squeezed Valencia OJ
Valencia Orange Wedge
DIRECTIONS: Pour 4 oz fresh-squeezed OJ into a blender. Make sure to squeeze your Valencia Orange right before making the cocktail so the juice has as many live enzymes as possible. Add your Campari and pulse the blender for a few seconds until you can see a froth develop. Pour the mixture into a Highball Glass and garnish with a wedge of Valencia Orange.
CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL
1 sugar cube
3 dashes Angostura Bitters
Brut Champagne
DIRECTIONS: Add sugar cube to a flute. Dash Angostura bitters over sugar cube. Slowly top with champagne. Garnish with lemon expression.
IRISH COFFEE – click here to watch us make one!
1.5 oz Irish Whiskey
2 tsp brown sugar
4-5 oz hot, bold coffee
Top with freshly whipped heavy cream*
Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg
DIRECTIONS: Add whiskey, brown sugar and piping hot coffee to a warm coffee mug. Top with freshly whipped heavy cream. Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.
*Freshly Whipped Heavy Cream: Shake heavy cream in a cocktail shaker with an agitator of some type inside — either the spring from a cocktail strainer, a blender ball, or just shake hard for 20-30 seconds. If your heavy cream carton is half full, you can also shake that vigorously until it begins to aerate and whip up.
