tonight I encountered something called Coldcock, which is allegedly "American herbal flavored whiskey"

it tastes much more like cough syrup diluted in herb-infused water

needless to say it was bottled in Florida

so its a heat wave here so i cant go with someting heavy.

tonights coctail is the haleys comet (obviously spelled differently than the astronomical sort)

1.5 oz gin (i go with hendricks)
1/4 oz st. germain
1/4 of grapefruit (best) or OJ (backup)

shake over ice, pour into glass

top with ginger beer, i aim for about 4oz (third of a can) for these ratios.

its a really light and tasty summer drink, i make it in 2 gallon gatorade coolers for beach days with slightly higher fractions of juice and ginger so you dont die.

oh weird I always thought a haleys was a French 75 (gin, lemon juice, simple, and champagne) with st germain
also, my new roommate is a nola-bred bartender and our dish soap dispenser is a repurposed st Germain bottle :3:

inspired by discovering the bullshot is something that exists im going to try making a few cocktails using some leftover unsalted beef broth today or tomorrow and i might be willing to buy some stupid poo poo to do it if the idea is funny enough

first is the original bullshot which is like a bloody mary but with broth instead of tomatoes
  1.5 oz vodka
  4 oz beef broth
  1/4 oz lemon juice
  dash worcestershire sauce
  dash hot sauce
  pinch of salt and cayenne pepper

but that seems p boring and way too like a bloody mary so i need more ideas of things to try

one horrifying idea is:
  2 oz bourbon
  4 oz beef broth
  pinch of vegemite
  dash of orange bitters
  pinch of salt
  1/4 oz maple syrup
  garnish with a grilled green onion

i apologize, i was worried i would worsen the hangover with any suggestion i might make

banana peppers, chive, tarragon, fennel seed and olives (or capers)

keep the beef broth, and use maka's mark

dry ice, fresh parsley, and muddled preserves, maybe cherry, or apple

brewer's yeast instead of vegemite, and brown sugar instead of maple syrup may work as good alternatives

the brown sugar should be heated in order to become a kind of caramel

2 cups vodka
2 cups whole or 2% milk (non-UHT pasteurized for best results*)
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 (or more) of lemon or other citrus, juice and rind**

Mix everything together in a clean glass container with a tight-sealing lid. Shake vigorously and store in a cool, dark place for 10 days. Give the container a few shakes every day.

After 10 days, the liqueur is ready. Strain through a double-layer of cheese cloth or a coffee filter to catch the milk solids and clarify the liqueur. More rounds of straining will result in a cleaner, clearer liqueur.

Transfer to a clean container and store for up to several months.

unfortunately the marmite kind of froze and stuck to the side of the shaker, and i used the shaker just to try to mix the bbq sauce and marmite in so :-\

it is a bit uh...cloudy, with a nice head on it



and i threw on some orange zest to really kick it up a notch



(i have some really lovely tasting oranges that still have great zest)

what i am going to call the Southern Beau taste report:

i waited for the head to go mostly away, which is good because what little i tasted of it was like a bbq foam thats better suited to a $100/plate ny bistro than a proper cocktail

the savory with the bit of chipotle heat behind it almost completely hides the alcohol, you just get this meaty savory flavor with the sweetness of the sauce and it feels warm. the only real hint of the alcohol is that whiff up in the sinuses that you get since this is half liquor

zesting the orange instead of muddling a peel was a mistake

it was kind of missing something between the earthy beef and the sweet sauce so i ground a bit of black pepper into it and stirred it with a thyme sprig and it's actually kind of tasty now which is probably more horrifying than if it just tasted like liquid rear end
