Name Ideas

  • "It is Hard to Give a Nice Presentation"
  • Two-Finger
  • Dish Walk Cooler

Three drinks: (a) something shaken, (b) something stirred, and (c) something non-alcoholic.

Two-Finger (Stirred)

Rye, Rosemary Syrup*, Yellow Chartreuse, Angostura Bitters, Cherry+Rosemary garnish*

Bold, spirit forward, and herbaceous. Think of it as a Rye Old Fashioneed that lingered just long enough in the rosemary bushes on the way up the stairs from CERC. Such a perfect follow-up to whatever just happened that you should probably walk right to the front of the line to order yours!

  • 2 1⁄2 oz Rye, Rittenhouse 100
  • 1⁄3 oz Rosemary syrup
  • 1⁄8 oz Yellow Chartreuse
  • 1 ds Bitters, Angostura
  • 1 brandied cherry speared by a spring of rosemary

Based on the Herbal Rye which is vaguely in the Old Fashioned family.

Scaling up to make 40:

  • 100 oz / 3.12 qt / 2.96L rye
  • 13.3 oz / 0.4167 qt / 0.4L Rosemary syrup
  • 5 oz / 0.1563 qt / 0.15L Yellow Chartreuse

It is Hard to Give a Good Presentation (Shaken)

Resposado Tequila, Mezcal (Del Maguey Vida), Lime juice, Cointreau, Demarara Syrup, Prickly Pear Syrup*, Smoked Salt half rim

Aiming to appeal to be a broad audience of sophisticated non-experts without sacrificing simplicity. Probably a little challenging at points. Balanced only in the sense that it tries to pack more than a little bit of everything in the alloted space. Think of it as smokey prickly pear Margarita and the drink you want once the sun goes down at the end of all those hot days we never had. Pretty in glass unless we screwed up the float. After all, it is hard to give a good presentation!

Based on the Old Pueblo, itself a variant on a Smoked Margarita.

Scaling up to make 40:

  • 40 oz / 1.25 qt / 1.18L Reposado
  • 40 oz / 1.25 qt / 1.18L Mezcal
  • 40 oz / 1.25 qt / 1.18L Lime juice
  • 20 oz / 0.625 qt / 0.56L Cointreau
  • 10 oz / 0.3125 qt / 0.29L Demarara
  • 10 oz / 0.3125 qt / 0.29L Prickly pear syrup

EtOH Free

This is basically a punch and it makes 10-12 8oz drinks:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cupwater
  • 2 teaspoons dried pink peppercorns, lightly crushed
  • About 24 kumquats, sliced into rounds and seeded
  • About 3 liters soda water

A non-alcoholic kumquat and pink pepper spritz based in part off this recipe.
