A few days ago, I posted a few classic summer cocktails including classic ingredients for your summer refreshment. For those of you who are already fans of the gin rickey and mint julep, but still want to explore something a bit out of the ordinary and equally refreshing, check out one of these two drinks:
Rogue Cocktail: Gun Shop Fizz
Krik Estopinal of Cure in New Orleans
This is a counter-intuitive Peychaud's bitters-based cocktail aptly named.
2 oz Peychaud's bitters
1 oz lemon juice
1 oz simple syrup
2 strawberries
3 cucumber slices
3 swaths of grapefruit peel
3 swath of orange peel
Sanbitter
Add all the ingredients except Sanbitter into a mixing tin. Muddle and set aside for two minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Add ice, shake and strain over fresh ice in a Collins glass; top with Sanbitter. Garnish with a cucumber slice.
Here's a video of the creator talking about and making the drink. http://vimeo.com/6301982
Sicilian Iced Tea
I picked this recipe up from The Straight Pour (a weekly radio show all things cocktail) on AM 690 WIST in New Orleans. Very easy to make and extremely refreshing.
1-1/2 oz Cointreau
1 oz Averna Amaro
1 oz Fresh Lime Juice
1/2 oz Fresh Orange Juice
1/2 oz Simple Syrup
Splash of Club Soda
Granish: Sprig of Fresh Rosemary
Add all the ingedients except the Club Soda and Rosemary with ice, shake, pour over ice in a Collins glass, with a splash of Club Soda and garnish.
