July 26, 2023Ep. 38: Hard to say, easy to make - Caipirinha and Brazilian Lemonade
The Caipirinha and its star ingredient, Chachaca are difficult to say, but give them the respect they’ve earned from their rich history. The national drink(s) of Brazil are easy to make and even easier to drink. Stick around for the tip today on how to deal with a hangover thanks to our friends, DrinkingBuddy (use code ARTOFDRINKING for a discount - this stuff WORKS)
How to make a Caipirnha
Toss your cachaca in the freezer along with your rocks glasses
Cut limes and remove pith: Cut 1 lime in half, end to end or pole to pole. Then cut in half again, end to end. That white spine running through the middle of the lime, pole to pole, is called the “pith”. Cut the pith out. Taking 2 quarter wedges, cut each into 3 or 4 more pieces - you’ll have 6 to 8 pieces.
In your shaker
Add 6 - 8 lime pieces
Add 3 bar spoons or 1 tablespoon of sugar to shaker
***If using ice directly from freezer, add a ½ oz of cold water to shaker (BUT NOT ICE)
MUDDLE MUDDLE MUDDLE
Pour contents of shaker into your chilled double rocks glass
Add 2 oz of cold cachaca to your shaker and swirl it around to pick up remaining sugar and lime flavor and bits
Pour into your glass
Add ice and stir topping off with more ice. Garnish with a sugar cane stick or lime.
Cachaca Brazilian Lemonade
In your blender add:
2 limes, ends trimmed, quartered
2 lemons, ends trimmed, quartered
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk, plus more to taste depending on preference
4 cups water
Blend for about 10-15 seconds at high speed, then strain through a fine mesh strainer. Discard solids, or infuse some booze like a vodka or tequila, i mean why not?
In shaker add:
1.5 oz Cachaca
4 oz Brazilian Lemonade
Ice
Shake for 30 seconds, then strain into glass.
Garish with fresh lime wheels

Tip: avoiding and dealing with hangovers

Add LOTSA ICE small side of shaker
SHAKE IT AGAIN
Double strain into your coupe (hawthorn strainer and fine mesh strainer)
Garnish with 3 raspberries

Lillet Rose Clover Club:

April 26, 2023Ep. 31 Are ju-crazy? - The Mint Julep and Buzzed & Wired
One of THE most UNDERRATED cocktails the Mint Julep takes a left turn and meets… Jules. Enough said.

Mint Julep
Silver/PewterJulep cup (if you can)
Double Rocks (if you can’t)
Julep Straw (if you got the julep cup, you better get the julep straw)
Lewis bag
Wooden hammer (it’ll probably come with the lewis bag)
In your glass:
8 mint leaves (but be sure to CLAP and ROLL the mint in the palm of your hand first)
2 oz of bourbon (Woodford… sure, but damn I love me some 4 roses)
½ oz demerara simple syrup (a little more if you like it sweeter)
2 dash angostura bitters
Give it a stir
(Add ice to your Lewis bag and beat the ever lovin’ crap out of it)
Add ice to your cup, and stir. Be sure you are pulling the mint from the bottom of your cut to the top, push it back down, and pull it up to the top again. Give it one more stir so all the mint isn’t at the top.
Add more ice so it mounds a little over the top of your glass
Take the top of a mint sprig (or two) and give it a clap or smack it a few times and place in your glass. Be sure to place it so the mint is close to your nose when you drink, you want the smell and the taste all at once. If you’re feeling extra bougie, add a raspberry, blackberry, even a few blueberries next to your mint sprigs.
Buzzed & Wired Julep
In a cocktail shaker add:
1 ounce bourbon
2 ounces cold brew or chilled espresso, hey now
½ ounce simple syrup
¾ ounce coffee liqueur
5 mint leaves
Ice
Moderate shake (don’t get angry)
Strain over freshly cracked ice and garnish with fresh mint

Tip: How to grow mint
