Minnesota Poodle

Picture
The Minnesota Poodle claims to be a riff on the Colorado Bulldog and we think it's just lovely. To smoke cotton candy, use sassafras smoking pellets and fill your infusion vessel with smoke for several seconds, allowing the cotton candy to absorb the flavor.
MINNESOTA POODLE
In your drinking glass, add
2 ounces Balcones Baby Blue
.75 ounce Kahlua
fill nearly to the top with root beer
splash about .5 ounces cream
Garnish with sassafras smoked cotton candy

Northerner's Old Fashioned

6/21/2021

Picture
Some people can be so egocentric about their old fashioned cocktails!! (I'm talking to you Texas.) If you stroll into a bar in Minnesota and ask for one, you'll probably get something just like this! In Texas, you'll get minimal fruit, only a smidge of sugar, and bourbon on one single big ice cube. And I always say - the best drink is the one my guest enjoys! So, drink your old fashioned the way you enjoy it!
NORTHERNER'S OLD FASHIONED
Build in glass:
place 1 sugar cube
douse with 4-5 dashes Angostura
add orange wedge and cherry
muddle like you mean it!
add 2 ounces Balcones Pot Still
fill the glass with ice
splash seltzer and lemon lime soda

Good riffs are all around. And this is a favorite. People seeking a good Sazerac are some of my favorite adventurous spirits. Becherovka really amps up the spice and herbs notes in this classic.

..25 ounce simple syrup
5 dashes Peychauds bitters

Stir. Strain into coupe. Garnish with torched anise pod.

The "messy" dump of this cocktail lets all the yummy bits of fresh produce work their way into your drink. The flavors get more intense the longer the drink sits. And, bonus, you can eat your veggies after your done. So healthy, it's practically a salad!
Skinny Spicy
2 ounces tequila
1 ounce fresh lime juice
.75 ounce agave syrup (1:1)
"handful" ~quarter cup of finely chopped cucumber, green apple, red pepper
2-3 droppers Thai chili tincture

Combine all ingredients in a shaker tin with ice. Shake vigorously for a little longer than you normally would. Dump the entire contents into a chili salt rimmed glass.

To garnish, diagonally slice a cucumber and dip it in chili salt.

We definitely enjoyed poking fun at New York, buy riffing the classic New York Sour and calling it a Fault Line Sour. And of course, on game 1, we "smoked" big red apples. All in good fun, of course!

1.5 ounces Balcones Pot Still
.75 ounces lemon juice
.75 ounces simple syrup
Shake. Pour into glass.
Using a jigger, gently top with .5 ounces red wine.

to riff:
egg white - without ice, in shaker tin, add first 3 ingredients plus egg white; shake vigorously. Then add ice and shake again. Pour into a glass and top with .5 ounces of red wine.
bell pepper - overnight, infuse 2-3 quartered bell peppers with a mixture of 2 parts whisky, 1 part lemon juice, and 1 part simple syrup.  After infusion is complete, shake 3 ounces with about 10-15 pieces of diced bell pepper and dump entire contents into glass. Garnish with sliced baby bell peppers.

Although this recipe calls for only .75 ounces of whiskey, you can easily make this with up to 1.5 ounces and still have a delicious and balanced drink. And head over to the blog to see why we don't "spank" our mint.

If you're a classically trained mixologist, you're not going to like this next part so close your ears! After pouring this riff on The Jasmine over ice, top it with grapefruit White Claw. Don't forget to put your sunglasses to hide from all the glaring looks you're about to receive.
