A margarita with a beer is simply called a beer margarita. It’s a cocktail that combines the refreshing taste of a cold beer with the tangy and sweet flavors of a classic margarita.

To make a beer margarita, you typically start by preparing a traditional margarita mix with tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur. Then, you top it off with a cold beer of your choice, such as a light lager or a Mexican beer like Tecate.

The margarita recipe with beer results in a fizzy and flavorful drink that’s perfect for sipping on a hot summer day or enjoying with friends at a party. Beer margaritas can be served on the rocks or blended with ice and can be garnished with a lime wedge or salt rim for added flavor.

Ingredients Needed

Beer margarita ingredients.
  • Tequila – look for a blanco or reposado tequila that is made with 100% agave. These types of tequilas have a clean and smooth flavor that works well with the other ingredients in the cocktail.
  • Orange Liqueur – orange liqueurs like Cointreau, Grand Marnier, or triple sec are high-quality liqueurs made with real fruit and natural flavors. Any of them will work.
  • Lime Juice – Fresh-squeezed lime juice is best when making a beer margarita because it has a bright, tangy flavor that complements the other ingredients in the cocktail.
  • Agave – Agave is a key ingredient in a beer margarita because it serves as a natural sweetener that balances out the tartness of the lime juice and bitterness of the beer. If you don’t have agave you can use Simple Syrup or honey.
  • Lager Beer – light and crisp lager is typically the best choice. Mexican lagers like Corona, Modelo, or Tecate are popular options because they pair well with the other ingredients in the cocktail.

FAQS

Can you mix beer and a margarita?

Yes, you can mix beer and a margarita together to create a beer margarita! A beer margarita typically combines the flavors of a classic margarita with the crisp, refreshing taste of beer.

Can I make a large batch of beer margaritas for a party?

Yes, you can easily make a large batch of beer margaritas by multiplying the recipe to fit the number of servings you need. Simply mix all the ingredients in a large pitcher or punch bowl, then add the beer just before serving.

Should I serve a beer margarita on the rocks or blended with ice?

This is a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer their margaritas on the rocks, while others prefer them blended with ice. Try both methods and see which you prefer!

Serving Suggestions

A beer margarita is a versatile cocktail that can be served on a variety of occasions. Here are some situations when you might want to serve a beer margarita:

  1. Summer parties: Beer margaritas are a refreshing and flavorful option for outdoor gatherings, barbecues, and pool parties.

Recipe Notes and Tips

  • Don’t overmix: When adding the beer, stir the mixture gently just until combined. Overmixing can cause the beer to foam up and lose its carbonation.
  • Use a shaker: To ensure your margarita is well-mixed, use a cocktail shaker instead of stirring in the glass.
  • Use a light beer: A light lager or Mexican beer is a good choice for a beer margarita. Avoid using heavy or strongly flavored beers, which can overpower the other ingredients.
  • Adjust the sweetness: The amount of agave syrup you use will depend on your personal preference and the sweetness of your beer. Start with less and add more as needed. You can also use Simple Syrup or honey as a substitute.

Azalea Drink

· Leave a Comment

This Azalea Drink is a floral and citrusy cocktail, with a hint of bitterness from the grapefruit and bitters. The official drink of the Masters is made with vodka, pineapple juice, lemon juice, and a splash of grenadine to get that pink azalea color.

What is an azalea drink?

The Azalea is a cocktail that has been the official drink of the Master’s golf tournament since 1955. The recipe is said to be a closely guarded secret, but it is believed to be a simple mix of vodka, citrus juices, and a splash of grenadine for the pink hue.

The drink is named after the blooming azaleas that are a hallmark of the Augusta National Golf Club, where the Masters is held each year. The Azalea has become a beloved tradition among golf fans and is often associated with the relaxed, southern charm of the tournament.

Ingredients Needed

Azalea drink ingredients.
  • Vodka (or gin) – Vodka, in particular, has a smooth taste and does not have a strong flavor of its own, and blends well with the other cocktail ingredients. Gin, on the other hand, has a more pronounced flavor profile, with notes of juniper and other botanicals, which can complement the flavors. Whichever one you choose will be delicious.
  • Pineapple Juice – Pineapple juice in the Azalea cocktail provides a sweet and tropical flavor that complements the other ingredients in the drink. It has a subtle tanginess and acidity that can help to brighten the flavors of the cocktail.
  • Lemon Juice – Lemon Juice adds a crucial element to the Azalea cocktail, providing a zesty and refreshing flavor that is essential to the drink’s taste profile. I recommend using freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  • Grenadine – Grenadine provides a sweet and fruity flavor and adds a vibrant pink color to the Azalea cocktail, which can enhance the visual appeal of the drink.

How to make an Azalea Drink

Azalea cocktail process steps 1 and 2.
  1. Add all the ingredients. Pour the vodka or gin, pineapple juice, lemon juice, and grenadine into a mixing glass.
  2. Chill the mixture. Add some ice to the mixture and stir it in to chill the ingredients.
Azalea drink process step 3.
  1. Strain. Using a strainer, strain the mixture into cocktail glasses filled with ice.

FAQS

Can I make a non-alcoholic version of the Azalea drink?

Yes, you can make a non-alcoholic version of the Azalea drink by omitting the vodka or gin and increasing the pineapple juice and lemon juice.

Can I make an Azalea cocktail in advance?

Yes, you can make the Azalea cocktail in advance and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve. If making it in advance don’t add ice to the mixture just store it in the fridge until ready to serve. Before straining it into ice-filled glasses give it another stir.

Azalea Cocktail Pitcher Recipe

To make an Azalea cocktail in a pitcher, you can follow the same recipe as for an individual serving, but adjust the ingredient quantities accordingly. Here’s a recipe for a pitcher of Azalea cocktail that serves 8:

  • 16 ounces vodka or gin
  • 16 ounces pineapple juice
  • 8 ounces fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup grenadine
  • Ice
  • Lemon wheels, for garnish
  1. In a large pitcher, combine the vodka or gin, pineapple juice, fresh lemon juice, and grenadine. Stir to combine.
  2. Fill the pitcher with ice and stir again.
  3. Serve in ice-filled glasses, garnished with lemon wheels, if desired.

Recipe Notes and Tips

  • Gin or vodka? Though it is unclear whether the original azalea drink had gin or vodka, the most common versions of the recipe contain vodka. Use your favorite or the two and you can’t go wrong.
  • Adjust the grenadine to taste: The amount of grenadine used in the cocktail can vary depending on personal preference. Start with a splash and add more as needed, tasting as you go. You can even make your own Homemade Grenadine or if you don’t have any use some of these Grenadine Substitutes.
  • Garnish with a lemon wheel: A slice of lemon on the rim of the glass or a lemon wheel in the drink can add a pop of color.

Lemon Drop Shot

· Leave a Comment

The Lemon Drop Shot is like a burst of sunshine in a tiny glass, with a zesty, lemony flavor that’s perfectly balanced between sweet and sour. The smooth vodka glides down your throat, leaving you feeling both energized and refreshed.

What’s in a Lemon Drop Shot

A Lemon Drop Shot typically consists of three simple ingredients: vodka, Simple Syrup, and fresh lemon juice. The vodka serves as the base spirit and provides the shot with its kick. The simple syrup, which is made by dissolving sugar in water, adds a touch of sweetness to the drink and helps to balance out the tartness of the lemon juice. Finally, the fresh lemon juice gives the shot its signature zesty, lemony flavor.

Some bartenders also like to rim the glass with sugar or garnish the shot with a slice of lemon for an extra touch of sweetness and visual appeal. The tartness combined with the sweetness makes this shot a classic just like the Water Moccasin Shot.

Ingredient Notes

Lemon drop shot ingredients.
  • Vodka – When making a Lemon Drop Shot, it’s best to use a high-quality, unflavored vodka. A neutral or smooth-tasting vodka allows the zesty, lemony flavors to shine through without any interference from other flavorings.
  • Simple Syrup – Simple Syrup adds sweetness to the drink without altering the flavor profile of the vodka or fresh lemon juice. Lemon juice can be quite tart, and the simple syrup helps to balance out the acidity.
  • Lemon Juice – Using fresh lemon juice is crucial when making a Lemon Drop Shot because it provides a bright, zesty flavor that is difficult to replicate with bottled or pre-made lemon juice.
  • Sugar for rimming the glass (optional)
  • Lemon wedge for garnish (optional)

How to Make a Lemon Drop Shot

Lemon drop shots process steps 1 and 2.
  1. Coat the rim of the shot glass. Run a lemon wedge around the edge of the shot glass to coat it evenly in juice.
  2. Dip the rim in coarse sugar. Pour some sugar into a shallow dish or plate and dredge the rim of the coated shot glass into the sugar.

  1. Add the ingredients to a cocktail shaker. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the vodka, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
  2. Shake. Shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to combine and chill the ingredients.

Large Batch Recipe

To make a large batch of Lemon Drop Shots, you will need to adjust the proportions of the ingredients accordingly. Here’s a recipe for making a pitcher of Lemon Drop Shots that serves approximately eight people:

  • 2 cups vodka
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  • ¾ cup simple syrup
  • Ice
  • Sugar for rimming the glasses (optional)
  • Lemon slices for garnish (optional)
  1. Rim the edges of shot glasses with sugar, if desired, by dipping the rims in a shallow dish of simple syrup or water, then dipping them into a plate of sugar. Set aside.
  2. In a large pitcher, combine the vodka, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. Stir well to combine.
  3. Add ice to the pitcher and stir again.
  4. Fill the prepared shot glasses with the lemon drop mixture.

FAQS

What does a lemon drop shot taste like?

A Lemon Drop Shot is a sweet and tangy cocktail that has a refreshing lemon flavor. The overall taste can be described as tart, tangy, and slightly sweet.

How do you drink a lemon drop shot?

You’ll want to drain the shot in one sip and it’s recommended to chase the shot with a slice of lemon or a sip of water to cleanse your palate. You can also sprinkle some sugar on the lemon wedge.

How strong is a lemon drop shot?

A Lemon Drop Shot made with 1.5 ounces of vodka would contain approximately 0.6 ounces (or 17.7 milliliters) of pure alcohol.

Substitutions

  • No lemons, no problem! If you don’t have any lemons on hand you can always use store-bought lemon juice or even Sour Mix.
  • Change up the alcohol. Vodka is the traditional and most common base spirit used in a Lemon Drop Shot recipe. You could try using other clear spirits such as gin or tequila instead.
  • Use something other than simple syrup. If you don’t have simple syrup or prefer not to use it in a Lemon Drop Shot, you can replace it with sugar, honey, or agave nectar. It is super easy to make your own homemade Simple Syrup though.

Mason Jar Cold Brew

· Leave a Comment

Mason Jar Cold Brew is a simple and convenient way to make delicious and smooth cold brew coffee at home without the need for specialized equipment.

Mason jar cold brew in a wide mouth mason jar.

Can I make cold brew in a mason jar?

Making cold brew in a mason jar is certainly possible and quite popular due to the convenience, ease of use, and easy maintenance of the jars. Moreover, no fancy equipment is required to prepare cold brew in a mason jar.

The process of making cold brew in a mason jar produces a large quantity of concentrate that can be stored in the refrigerator for several days. It’s a great option for those who don’t have access to a coffee maker or prefer the simplicity of using a mason jar.

Best Coffee for Cold Brew

While it’s true that personal preference plays a big role in choosing the best coffee for cold brew, many people do prefer using dark roast coffee beans for their cold brew. This is because dark roast beans have a bold, full-bodied flavor that can stand up well to the long steeping process.

Additionally, dark roast beans tend to have a lower acidity level than lighter roasts, which can result in a smoother and less bitter taste when cold brewed. This is important because cold brewing extracts less acidity from the coffee, which can make high-acidic coffees taste sour or unpleasant.

Ingredients Needed

Mason jar cold brew coffee ingredients.
  • Coarsely Ground Coffee – If you’re looking for a coffee with a strong and rich taste that can withstand longer brewing times and has a lower acidity than lighter roasts, then dark roast coffee is your best bet. You have the option to either grind your own coffee beans with a coffee grinder or purchase them pre-ground to a coarse texture.
  • Filtered Water – To enhance your coffee-drinking experience and fully appreciate the natural flavors and aromas, it’s recommended to use filtered water. However, if filtered water isn’t readily available, tap water can be used as an alternative.

Equipment Needed

  • Coffee Grinder or Mill (optional) – For a delicious cold brew coffee, the ideal coffee grounds are coarsely ground to extract the optimal flavor. You can either grind the coffee beans yourself to a medium-coarse consistency using a coffee grinder or purchase pre-ground coffee. Although a handheld coffee mill is an option, it may take more time to grind the amount of coffee needed for cold brew. Using an electric grinder is often the most convenient and efficient method as it can process larger amounts of coffee quickly, resulting in perfectly ground coffee that is ideal for a refreshing cold brew.
  • Large Mason Jar – A 32-ounce sized mason jar is an appropriate container for making cold brew coffee due to its capacity. Cold brew requires a specific coffee-to-water ratio, which can be achieved by measuring out a specific amount of coffee and water in the jar.
  • Cheese Cloth – When making cold brew coffee in a mason jar, cheesecloth is a commonly used filtering method to remove any remaining coffee particles or sediment from the liquid.

Cold Brew Ratio

If you’re making mason jar cold brew coffee, it’s important to note that the coffee-to-water ratio differs from the French Press Cold Brew ratio. What is the cold brew coffee ratio, you ask? Typically, the standard cold brew ratio is 1:8, whereas the mason jar cold brew ratio is 1:4. After brewing the cold brew concentrate, you have the option to dilute it with water based on your personal taste preferences.

  • Coffee grounds to water ratio: When preparing coffee, it’s recommended to use a coffee-to-water ratio of 1:4 for optimal flavor. This means that for every 6 cups of water, you’ll need 1 and a half cups of coffee grounds. It’s worth noting that this ratio may differ if you’re making cold brew coffee using a French press, so it’s important to adjust accordingly.
  • Concentrate to water ratio: Mason jar cold brew produces a highly concentrated coffee that can be stored in a pitcher or the same jar. When it’s time to serve, it’s recommended to dilute the concentrate with an equal amount of water or milk, using a ratio of 1:1. This involves filling your glass with equal parts of concentrate and water or milk. By doing so, you can adjust the strength of the coffee to your liking while ensuring a consistent flavor.

How to Make Cold Brew Coffee in a Mason Jar

How to make cold brew in a mason jar steps 1 and 2.
  1. Grind the coffee beans. Grind 2 cups of whole coffee beans until a coarse meal is formed. Alternatively, purchase coarsely ground coffee if you don’t want to grind it yourself.
  2. Mix the coffee grounds and water. Pour the ground coffee into a 32-ounce-sized mason jar and pour 4 cups of filtered water on top. Stir to mix the grounds and water together and cover with the lid.
Mason jar cold brew process steps 3 and 4.
  1. Steep for 12 to 24 hours. To steep your beverage, simply place the mason jar on the counter or in your pantry for a period of 12 to 24 hours. While a longer steeping time of 24 hours will result in a richer flavor, be mindful not to over-steep it, as this can lead to a loss of flavor.
  2. Filter the coffee. To prepare your cold brew coffee, pour it through a strainer lined with cheesecloth, and filter it into a separate container (or mason jar). Once the filtering process is complete, your delicious cold brew is now ready to drink! It is recommended to dilute the coffee concentrate with equal parts cold water to achieve the desired strength.

FAQS

How long should I steep my coffee for in a mason jar for cold brew?

To make cold brew in a mason jar, it is recommended to steep the coffee for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours. The steeping time can vary depending on personal preference and the type of coffee used. A longer steeping time will result in a stronger and more robust flavor, but be careful not to over-steep it, as it can lead to a bitter taste.

How long does cold brew coffee last in a mason jar?

Cold brew coffee can typically last up to 10-14 days when stored in a mason jar in the refrigerator.

Storage Information

To store mason jar cold brew, simply place the lid on the jar and store it in the refrigerator. Cold brew can typically last up to 10-14 days when stored properly in the refrigerator. However, the exact shelf life can vary based on factors such as the freshness of the coffee, the cleanliness of the jar, and the temperature of the refrigerator.

Consuming the cold brew within a week of making it is recommended to ensure the best quality and flavor. If the cold brew develops an off taste or odor, it is best to discard it. Additionally, it is important to note that homemade cold brew may not have the same shelf life as store-bought cold brew, which may contain additional preservatives to extend its shelf life.

Recipe Notes and Tips

  • Grind the coffee beans coarsely: Grinding the coffee beans too fine can result in over-extraction, leading to a bitter taste. A coarse grind is ideal for mason jar cold brew.
  • Use cold, filtered water: Use cold water to make your cold brew, and make sure it is filtered to remove any impurities.
  • Use a 1:4 coffee-to-water ratio: A good starting point is to use one cup of coffee grounds for every four cups of water. Adjust the ratio based on your personal preference.
  • Dilute with water: When serving, dilute the cold brew concentrate with water to your desired strength.
  • Experiment with flavor additions: You can add various flavors to your mason jar cold brew, such as cinnamon sticks, vanilla beans, or even syrups such as Brown Sugar Syrup, to create a unique and personalized taste.

French Press Cold Brew

· Leave a Comment

French Press Cold Brew is a delightful method of crafting a deliciously smooth and rich coffee, that’s perfect for warmer weather. This process allows for the coffee to extract its unique flavor profile, producing a full-bodied and less acidic taste that is distinct from traditional hot-brewed coffee.

Can you make cold brew with a French press?

Yes, you can definitely make cold brew with a French press. In fact, using a French press to make cold brew is a popular and convenient method. The French press, with its elegant design and simple functionality, is a perfect companion for creating this delectable drink.

The coffee and cold water are added to the press, stirred gently to ensure that all the grounds are wet, and then allowed to steep. Once the steeping period is complete, the plunger of the French press is used to separate the coffee grounds from the liquid, leaving behind a smooth, silky coffee that is perfect for serving over ice or with milk or cream.

Equipment Needed

  • Coffee Grider (optional) – To make cold brew coffee, it’s essential to have coffee grounds that are coarsely ground to ensure optimal flavor extraction. You have two options: grind the coffee yourself to a medium-coarse consistency or purchase pre-ground coffee. While a handheld coffee mill is a viable option, it can take significantly longer to grind the amount of coffee required for cold brew. An electric grinder is often the easiest and most efficient choice, as it can process larger quantities of coffee quickly and efficiently, producing grounds that are perfect for making a delicious cold brew.
  • French Press – A French press is a type of coffee brewing device that consists of a cylindrical glass or stainless-steel container with a plunger and a metal or nylon mesh filter. Any French press will work, but a 34-ounce one is best for making cold brew.

Best Coffee for Cold Brew

Dark roast coffee is a popular choice for French press cold brew coffee because it typically has a bold, robust flavor profile that stands up well to the extended steeping process. In addition to its flavor profile, dark roast coffee is also less acidic than lighter roasts. The extended steeping process can result in a more acidic brew if a lighter roast coffee is used. If you prefer lighter roast coffee then you may want to try Chemex Iced Coffee.

The ratio of coffee to water in a French press is distinct from the standard cold brew ratio. To achieve the same level of strength in a cold brew concentrate, you will require a greater amount of coffee when brewing with a French press as opposed to Mason Jar Cold Brew. Whether you want to dilute the concentrate or not is entirely up to your taste preferences.

  • Coffee to water ratio – To make French press cold brew, you will require a coffee-to-water ratio of 2:3.5. This equates to using 2 cups of coarsely ground coffee and 3 ½ cups of water.
  • Concentrate to water ratio – French press cold brew yields a concentrated coffee, which is typically poured into a pitcher. When serving the finished brew, you’ll want to dilute the concentrate with an equal part of water or milk, using a ratio of 1:1. This means filling your glass with one part concentrate and one part water or milk.

Ingredient Notes

Cold brew coffee ingredients.
  • Dark Roast Coffee – dark roast coffee is the best choice because it offers a bold, rich flavor profile that holds up well to the extended steeping process, while also being less acidic than lighter roast coffees. You can use a coffee grinder to grind your own or purchase it coarsely ground.
  • Filtered Water – using filtered water ensures that the natural flavors and aromas of the coffee are allowed to shine through, resulting in a more enjoyable drinking experience. If you don’t have access to filtered water though you can also use tap water.

How to Make Cold Brew in a French Press

The process involves steeping coarsely ground coffee in cold water for an extended period of time (usually 12-24 hours) and then separating the coffee grounds from the liquid using the plunger of the French press.

How to make cold brew in the French Press steps 1 and 2.
  1. Grind the coffee. Place 2 cups of whole coffee beans into a grinder and grind until a coarse meal is formed (this step is optional, but you’ll need to purchase coarsely ground coffee if not grinding it yourself).
  2. Pour the coffee into the pitcher. Add the coffee grounds to the French press pitcher and pour the water on top. Stir the ground and the water together before placing the press top on (don’t press it down though).
French press cold brew process steps 3 and 4.
  1. Steep for 12 to 24 hours. Place the French press on the counter or in your pantry and allow it to steep for 12 to 24 hours. The closer to 24 hours the richer the flavor will be, however, make sure to not over-steep it, which will result in a flavor loss.
  2. Press down the plunger. Slowly press down the plunger and pour the coffee into an airtight container and keep it in the fridge.

FAQS

Do you need a French press for cold brew?

You do not need a French press to make cold brew coffee and can just as easily, albeit slightly messier, use a Mason Jar for Cold Brew.

How long should I let the coffee steep?

It’s recommended to let the coffee steep in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours, depending on your personal preference for strength.

Can I heat up cold brew?

Absolutely! Cold brew can be heated up in the microwave or on the stove for a warm cup of coffee.

Storage Information

Storing French press cold brew is fairly straightforward. Once the cold brew concentrate has been prepared, it can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

  • Use an airtight container: It is important to store the cold brew concentrate in an airtight container to prevent oxidation and exposure to other flavors and aromas in the refrigerator.
  • Label the container: To avoid confusion, it is helpful to label the container with the date of preparation, so you know when to use it or when it might need to be discarded.

Recipe Notes and Tips

  • Use filtered water: As previously mentioned, using filtered water can help to enhance the flavor of the coffee and prolong the life of your French press.
  • Stir the mixture: After adding the coffee and water to the French press, give the mixture a quick stir to ensure that all the coffee grounds are evenly saturated.
  • Press slowly: When pressing down the plunger, take your time to ensure that the mesh filter is separating the coffee grounds from the liquid. This will help to prevent any unwanted sediment from ending up in your cup.
  • Don’t store the cold brew in the refrigerator while steeping. Storing French press cold brew in the refrigerator while it steeps is not recommended as it can result in an over-extracted and bitter brew. It can also slow down the extraction process.

Sour Mix Uses

Sour mix is a key ingredient in many popular cocktails, including margaritas, whiskey sours, and daiquiris. It adds a bright, tangy flavor to drinks and can be easily made at home using just a few simple ingredients. It is a versatile cocktail ingredient that can be used in a variety of drinks such as:

  1. Margaritas: Use it in place of lime juice and Simple Syrup to make a Classic Margarita or even a unique one such as a Vodka Margarita.
  2. Whiskey sours: Mix whiskey, homemade sour mix, and a dash of bitters for a refreshing and classic whiskey sour. Shake with ice and serve up or over ice.
  3. Daiquiris: Blend rum, homemade sour mix, and fruit (like strawberries or raspberries for a Raspberry Daiquiri) with ice for a frozen daiquiri that’s perfect for hot summer days.
  4. Collins cocktails: Use homemade sour mix to make a Tom Collins or a Raspberry Collins. Just add gin or vodka, soda water, and ice to a glass, and top with sour mix.
  5. Shots: Many shots such as the Green Tea Shot or the White Tea shot use sour mix and the homemade version always makes them taste better.
  6. Mocktails: Homemade sour mix can also be used to make non-alcoholic drinks. Mix it with soda water, ginger ale, or iced tea for a refreshing and flavorful mocktail.

How to Make Homemade Sour Mix

Sour mix recipe process steps 1 and 2.
  1. Dissolve the sugar. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, just until sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let it cool completely.
  2. Juice the lemons and limes. While the sugar is dissolving (it won’t take long) go ahead and juice your lemons and limes. You can finish juicing them while the Simple Syrup mixture cools.
Homemade sour mix process step 3.
  1. Add the juices. Pour both the lemon juice and lime juice into the mixture and stir it to combine.

Ingredients Needed

Homemade sour mix ingredients.
  • Sugar – Granulated sugar is the preferred sweetener because it dissolves easily in water, creating a consistent and smooth texture. Other sweeteners like honey, agave syrup, or maple syrup may have distinct flavors that could alter the taste of the sour mix.
  • Lemon Juice – Fresh squeezed lemon juice is preferred because it provides a bright and tangy flavor that is difficult to replicate with bottled or concentrated lemon juice. You’ll need about 5 to 6 lemons to get 1 cup of Lemon Juice.
  • Lime Juice – Fresh squeezed lime juice is an important component of this sour mix recipe because it adds a distinct flavor and acidity that is essential to many classic cocktails. The juice of fresh limes has a bright, citrusy flavor that is difficult to replicate with bottled or concentrated lime juice.

FAQS

How long does homemade sour mix last?

Homemade sour mix can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Recipe Notes and Tips

  • Cool the syrup quickly. Don’t let the sugar and water mixture overheat. You want to just dissolve the sugar and to cool it quickly you can mix in ½ cup or less of ice or place it in the fridge.
  • Strain the mix. Straining the mix through a fine mesh strainer can remove any pulp or seeds from the juice, resulting in a smoother and more consistent texture.
  • Make it ahead of time. Homemade sour mix can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. This can save time when making cocktails, as the mix is readily available.
  • Add flavor variations. You can add flavor variations to your homemade sour mix by infusing the mix with herbs or spices. Start with a Rosemary Simple Syrup instead or infuse the mix with thyme or cinnamon.

Mint mojito coffee with fresh mint leaves for garnish.

What is mint mojito iced coffee?

Mint Mojito Coffee, made famous by Philz Coffee in San Francisco, is a refreshing coffee that combines the boldness of cold brew coffee with the sweetness of Simple Syrup, the tanginess of lime zest, and the freshness of mint leaves.

The drink typically starts with a base of cold brew coffee, combined with a few fresh mint leaves that have been gently crushed to release their aromatic oils. To this, a pinch of lime zest is added, followed by a tablespoon of simple syrup.

The mixture is then gently muddled with a muddler or the back of a spoon, allowing the flavors to meld together. The resulting drink is a refreshing and flavorful coffee that is perfect for hot summer days or anytime you want a little pick-me-up. For an extra creamy finish, a splash of cream can be added to the top.

Ingredient Notes

Mint mojito iced coffee ingredients.
  • Mint Leaves – When gently crushed or muddled, mint leaves release their aromatic oils, which add a fresh and invigorating taste to the cold brew coffee base. You’ll need fresh mint leaves for this recipe and the larger the better.
  • Lime Zest – The oils found in the lime zest provide a bright and zesty aroma and flavor that balance out the boldness of the cold brew coffee. When added to the drink, the lime zest helps to create a well-rounded and refreshing taste
  • Simple Syrup or Sugar – Simple syrup is an essential ingredient in a mint mojito iced coffee, as it provides the perfect amount of sweetness to complement the tanginess of the lime zest and the freshness of the mint leaves. You can also use sugar though, which will help to easily crush the leaves.
  • Cold Brew – Cold Brew Coffee is the perfect base for a mint mojito coffee as it creates a smooth and flavorful drink, however, iced coffee can also be used.

How to Make Mint Mojito Iced Coffee

How to make a coffee mojito process steps 1 and 2.
  1. Crush the mint leaves. Begin by crushing the mint leaves in a cocktail shaker using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon until they are bruised and release their aroma.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients. Add the lime zest, simple sugar, and cold brew coffee. Top it off with ice and a splash of cream if using.
Process step 3 for making mint mojito coffee.
  1. Shake and strain. Vigorously shake the mixture and strain it over a tall glass filled with ice. Garnish with a mint leaf and add more cream if necessary.

Recipe Notes and Tips

  • Don’t over-muddle the mint. Finally, be careful not to over-muddle the mint leaves, as this can release bitter flavors. A gentle muddle is all you need to release the mint’s aromatic oils. Over-muddling can also result in tiny pieces mixed into the drink.
  • Turn it into a cocktail! You can turn this into an afternoon pick-me-up and cocktail by adding 1 ½ ounces of dark rum.

Drink Variations

There are several variations of mint coffee that you can try to add some variety to your regular coffee routine. Here are some examples:

  1. Mint Mocha: Add chocolate syrup or cocoa powder to your mojito mint coffee for a delicious mint mocha.
  2. Mint Frappuccino: Blend your mint mojito coffee with ice, milk, and sweetener in a blender. This creates a refreshing and frosty mint frappuccino.

FAQS

What does a clover club cocktail taste like?

A Clover Club Cocktail has a balanced sweet and tangy flavor, with a silky texture from the frothy egg white. The gin provides a strong base, while the raspberry syrup adds a fruity sweetness and the lemon juice adds a refreshing tang. The resulting cocktail is smooth and refreshing, with a velvety foam on top.

Why is it called a clover club?

The origin of the name “Clover Club” for this classic cocktail is somewhat disputed, but it is generally believed to have originated from the name of a private men’s club in Philadelphia that was active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Clover Club was a social club that was comprised of prominent businessmen and professionals, and it was known for its lively atmosphere and spirited gatherings. The cocktail likely became associated with the club through the efforts of bartenders who frequented the establishment, who may have developed the drink as a signature cocktail for the club’s members. The name “Clover Club” was then adopted for the drink itself, and it has remained a classic cocktail to this day.

Recipe Notes and Tips

  • Dry shake the egg white: Dry shaking the egg white without ice helps to emulsify it, resulting in a smoother, creamier texture.
  • Shake vigorously with ice: Once you’ve dry shaken the egg white, add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously. This will help to chill the cocktail and create a nice frothy texture.
  • Swap the raspberry syrup for grenadine: While the raspberry syrup is a key ingredient in a Clover Club Cocktail, it is possible to swap it out for grenadine if you don’t have raspberry syrup on hand. Grenadine is a pomegranate-based syrup that was commonly used as a sweetener in cocktails during the early 20th century, so it is possible that some bartenders may have experimented with using grenadine in place of raspberry syrup.
  • Another swap is using Homemade Sour Mix. Instead of using lemon juice and raspberry syrup just use sour mix instead.

Serving Suggestions

A Clover Club Cocktail is a versatile and elegant cocktail that can be served on a variety of occasions. Its well-balanced flavor profile and smooth texture make it a popular choice for cocktail hour, but it is also a great option for a fancy dinner party or a celebratory event.

  • Fancy dinner party

Ingredient Notes

Nuts and berries drink ingredients.
  • Hazelnut Liqueur – the hazelnut liqueur adds a warm and nutty flavor that enhances the sweetness of the Chambord and creates a harmonious balance between the different components of the cocktail. I like to use Frangelico when making this drink.
  • Chambord – Chambord adds a fruity sweetness and a hint of tartness that balances out the nutty flavor of the hazelnut liqueur and the creaminess of the cream. It also adds a vibrant pinkish-red color to the drink.
  • Cream – Cream plays a crucial role in providing a smooth and velvety texture to the cocktail. The cream also helps to balance out the sweetness of the hazelnut liqueur and the fruity tartness of the Chambord.

How to Make a Nuts and Berries Drink

  1. Muddle the raspberries (optional). Place 3 to 4 raspberries in the bottom of the cocktail shaker and muddle them (use the back of a wooden spoon if you don’t have a muddler). Add the ice on top of the muddled raspberries.

Black Velvet Drink

· Leave a Comment

If you’re looking for a unique drink that’s both classy and bold, look no further than the Black Velvet Drink. This classic drink combines champagne and stout beer to create a smooth and rich flavor that’s perfect for any occasion.

What is a Black Velvet Drink

A black velvet drink is a cocktail made by combining equal parts of champagne and stout beer. The champagne used in this drink is usually a dry variety, which helps to balance the sweetness of the stout. The stout beer used can be any type of stout, but it is typically a dry Irish stout like Guinness.

The Black Velvet drink originated in 1861 in the UK to mourn the death of Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert. The drink’s dark color symbolizes mourning, while the champagne represents the royal family’s nobility. The drink became so popular that it was often served at important events and celebrations.

If you’re celebrating, especially St. Patrick’s Day, then serve this alongside some Chocolate Guinness Cake.

Ingredient Notes

Black velvet drink ingredients.
  • Champagne – it’s best to use dry champagne or sparkling wine to balance the sweetness of the stout. Brut champagne or even prosecco works well.
  • Stout Beer – the type of stout you use can affect the flavor of the cocktail. Traditionally, a dry Irish stout, such as Guinness, is used to make a black velvet cocktail. You can also use other types of stouts, such as oatmeal stouts, milk stouts, or chocolate stouts, to add additional flavor notes to the cocktail.

How to Make a Black Velvet Drink

How to make a black velvet drink steps 1 and 2.
  1. Start with the stout. Pour the stout into a pint glass until it’s about halfway full.
  2. Slowly pour in the champagne. Slowly pour the champagne over the back of a spoon into the glass. This will help the champagne float on top of the stout and create a distinct two-layer effect.

What does a black velvet drink taste like?

The combination of the dry champagne and the heavy-bodied stout creates a smooth and velvety texture that is well-balanced and delicious. The champagne adds a lightness and effervescence to the cocktail, while the stout provides subtle bitterness and roasted malt flavors.

Tips and Tricks

  • It’s crucial that both ingredients are well-chilled. Chilling the champagne and stout will ensure that the cocktail is refreshing and has the perfect balance of flavors.
  • Pour the champagne in slowly. Pour the champagne slowly to create a beautiful layered effect. A fast pour will blend the champagne and stout together, and you’ll lose the unique look.
  • Gently mix the champagne and stout. Use a bar spoon or let the drink sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to blend. If you take a sip right away, the drink will taste like a regular Guinness beer. However, if you stir the drink, the flavors will combine and create a delightful, bubbly, and sweet taste with fruity notes from the stout.

Serving Suggestions

  • St. Patrick’s Day
  • Celebrations and special occasions such as New Year’s Eve, weddings, and cocktail parties.
  • As a sophisticated alternative to traditional beer or champagne.
  • As an after-dinner drink, especially when paired with rich, chocolate desserts.
  • Summertime gatherings and outdoor events.
  • Anytime you want to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to an occasion.

FAQS

Why is my French Martini not pink?

If your French Martini isn’t pink, it might be because you didn’t add enough Chambord, used lower-quality ingredients, improperly mixed the cocktail, or used colored or opaque glassware. To fix the color, add more Chambord, shake the cocktail with ice for longer, use high-quality ingredients, or serve it in a clear glass.

The ingredients typically also include orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Triple Sec), fresh lime juice, and agave nectar or Simple Syrup (for sweetness).

Ingredients Needed

Ingredients in a gin margarita.
  • Gin – When making a gin margarita, you’ll want to choose a gin that complements the other flavors in the cocktail, while still allowing the gin’s unique botanical notes to shine through. London dry gin, citrus-forward gin, floral gin, and barrel-aged gin will all work.
  • Orange Liqueur – the type of orange liqueur you use can have a big impact on the flavor of the cocktail. Here are a few types of orange liqueur that work well with gin Cointreau, Triple Sec, Grand Marnier, and Mandarine Napoleon.
  • Fresh Lime Juice – using fresh lime juice is essential for creating a well-balanced and flavorful gin margarita. While bottled lime juice can be used in a pinch, it’s always best to use fresh lime juice for the best flavor
  • Agave Syrup – agave nectar is a versatile and delicious sweetener that can add a unique twist and is my preference when making a margarita. You can use a different sweetener like simple syrup or honey if you prefer.

How to Make a Margatini

Recipe Notes and Tips

  • Salting the glass rim is a must! Salting the glass rim is an important step in making a gin margarita because it adds an extra layer of flavor and texture to the cocktail. Since this isn’t a traditional margarita using tequila the salt rim is a key component.
  • Use fresh lime juice. Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. You can squeeze your own limes, or use store-bought lime juice as long as it’s fresh. Similar to salt the rim, fresh lime juice is key because it’s one of the factors that increase the margarita-like flavor.
  • Don’t skip shaking the cocktail. Don’t skip the shaking step! Shaking the ingredients together is what creates a well-balanced cocktail and ensures that all the flavors are evenly distributed.
