Green Tea Maple Flip

February 22, 2023 by Gabe Leave a Comment

A flip is a traditional type of cocktail made from a whole egg, sweetener, and spirit or wine. The egg acts as an emulsifier, blending the ingredients together and giving the drink a rich, smooth texture.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz brewed jasmine green tea, chilled
  • 1 oz pasteurized egg whites or egg substitute
  • 1 oz fresh lemon or lime juice
  • 1 oz pure maple syrup
  • 2-3 fresh mint leaves, torn
  • Ice
  • Star anise, for garnish

Instructions:

In a cocktail shaker, combine the chilled jasmine green tea, pasteurized egg whites or egg substitute, fresh lemon or lime juice, maple syrup, and torn mint leaves. Dry shake the mixture for about 10 seconds to emulsify the egg. Add a handful of ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10 more seconds to create a frothy texture. Strain the mixture into a chilled rocks glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a star anise and a sprig of fresh mint.

In this version, the sweetener is pure maple syrup, and the spirit is replaced by jasmine green tea, which provides a delicate, floral flavor and aroma. The citrus and mint add brightness and complexity, while the star anise garnish is a nice touch adding another extra layer of aroma and flavor to the drink.

Gold Rush Manhattan

February 22, 2023 by Gabe Leave a Comment

A classic cocktail featuring whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters; the Manhattan is zhuzh-ed up here, removing the liquor while adding some “grandeur” to this sophisticated, upscale alternative.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz unsweetened cranberry juice
  • 1 oz freshly squeezed blood orange juice
  • 1 oz vanilla simple syrup (recipe below)
  • 2-3 dashes of peach bitters
  • Blood orange wheel, for garnish
  • Edible gold flakes, for garnish

Instructions:

Fill a shaker with ice. Add the cranberry juice, blood orange juice, vanilla-infused simple syrup, and peach bitters to the shaker. Shake well to mix. Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass. Express the blood orange wheel over the drink to release its essential oils, then use it to garnish the drink. Sprinkle a few edible gold flakes over the drink for a touch of elegance. Serve immediately and enjoy.

This Soft Manhattan is a sophisticated, upscale version of the classic cocktail. The use of blood orange juice adds a bright, juicy flavor and a striking, reddish-orange color. The vanilla-infused simple syrup provides a sweet, floral flavor, and the peach bitters provide a fruity, floral aroma. The edible gold flakes add a touch of elegance and glamour, making this drink perfect for a special occasion or an upscale event.
