SeagGL Cocktail Hour 2021

Once again, I'm going to be making a series of GNU/Linux themed cocktails for the the SeaGL cocktail hour 2021 edition. The good news is that the source for the cocktails will be available! The bad news is that you'll have to compile these drinks yourself.

I'll list the drinks here as soon as I finish the recipes. Until then, here's a list of things from easiest to most difficult. This includes one non-alcoholic drink (marked EtOH-free). If you planning on making drinks with me, you'll probably need to shop for ingredients. My advice it to chose what you want have and shop just for that drink. Or just bring a beer or glass of wine a cup of tea to watch and hang out!

You will be able to make almost everything if you have bottles of (a) Tequila, (b) Cynar, and sherry as well (c) limes and grapefruit that you can juice, and (d) beer!

1a. Something bitter and complex

Ingredients:

• 6oz Beer (Option 1: Something dark. I'm going to try to use a a Black Butte Porter from Deschutes; Option 2: a lighter sour beer, probably a gose)
• 1.5 Cynar

1c. Something refreshing

I'll be working toward a wikipedia:michelada variant. You're welcome to stop halfway.

Ingredients:

• 12oz Beer (a lager, traditionally a Mexican one)
• 1.5oz Lime
• 3-4 dashes of hot sauce
• Salt rim

Optional ingredients, i'm going to add to mine:

• Taijin
• Blackberry shrub
• Fresh blackberry

2. Something refreshing (with or without EthO)

We're making Palomas. This article on punch is a good introduction and we'll be doing Shannon Tebay's version.

• 0.75oz Lime juice (fresh if possible)
• 1.5oz Grapefruit juice (fresh if possible)
• 0.5oz simple syrup
• 2oz Soda water
• [Optional] 2oz Tequila
• [Optional] Salt

Notes: shake all but soda; pour chilled mixture over water in the bottom of glass with salted rim

3. Something stirred and dark (think negroni)

Ingredients:

• 1oz Tequila
• 1oz Sherry (ideally a Fino)
• 1oz Cynar

Notes: stir, strain, serve in a DOF over a single big ice cub

4. Something complicated

For this one, you'll need an iSi NO² charger or similar like you would use for whipcream.

• Tequila
• Egg whites
• Grand Marnier
• Fresh orange juice (finely strained)
• Peach bitters
• Salt (black salt is ideal)

5. Something to end with

• Tequila
• Mezcal if you have it!
• Cynar
