April 12, 2023Ep. 30: Let’s be clear - Clarified Milk Punch and Spicy Clarified Mezcal Margarita
If you haven’t tried clarified cocktails, you simply haven’t lived! This episode is about where it all started and where it’s going! Uncle Brad brings the history and the very first recipe (documented) for Mary Rockett’s Clarified Milk Punch. Jules takes us into the future, or at least Mexico, with a Spicy Mezcal Clarified Margarita. Ouuu… fancy!

Mary Rockett’s Clarified Milk Punch - thank you Splendid Table
What you’ll need
2 cup brandy
2 cup water
1 cup whole milk
Zest strips of 1 lemon
Zest strips of 1 orange (navel orange is fine)
½ cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
¼ plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ cup orange juice
Steps
In one container you are going to infuse your brand by combining 2 cups of brandy, lemon zest strips, and orange zest strips. Seal and let rest at room temp for 18 hours to 2 days.
When brandy infusion has completed its “resting”
What you’ll need
Discard zest strips from brandy infusion
In a large liquid measuring cup, large pitcher, bowl, container…. whatever it is, make sure it’s big enough to handle all liquid. For now, ONLY add 1 cup of milk. Set aside
In a large bowl whisk brandy infusion, water, sugar, lemon juice, and orange juice until sugar has dissolved
Pour brandy mixture into milk (spirit to milk… s to m). Gently stir curds with a spoon. Cover and refrigerate overnight to 24 hours
Line a fine-mesh strainer with a coffee filter or paper towel. A chinois (shen-wah) is ideal here. If using paper towels, make sure when you begin pouring the liquid into the strainer that it doesn’t sneak through the folds of the paper towel or over the top of the paper towel (or coffee filter). This is a slow process, so have patience… because you’re going to strain it following this same process one more time (replace filters and towels as needed)
Transfer the clarified punch to a lidded container (an empty 750ml liquor bottle works really well) and keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve
Pour into a chilled glass, over a chunk of clear ice, and give it a little fresh nutmeg garnish and slice of orange, lemon, or dried citrus
Spicy Clarified Mezcal Margarita
6 oz mezcal (or tequila)
2 oz chile liqueur
3 oz cointreau
3 oz fresh lime juice
2 oz simple syrup
4 oz whole milk
Steps
Stir together mezcal, chile liqueur, cointreau, lime juice, and simple syrup
In a separate large container add milk
Pour mezcal mixture into milk and gently stir curds
Let rest a few hours to overnight
Stain
Let sit for a couple hours/overnight
Line a fine-mesh strainer with a coffee filter or paper towel. A chinois (shen-wah) is ideal here. If using paper towels, make sure when you begin pouring the liquid into the strainer that it doesn’t sneak through the folds of the paper towel or over the top of the towel (or coffee filter).
Transfer the clarified margarita to a lidded container (an empty 750ml liquor bottle works really well) and keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
Serve by rimming a lowball glass with tajin or spicy salt and pour your spicy clarified mezcal margarita over a clear ice cube
Garnish with lime wheel and edible flowers (oh now that’s fancy!)

April 05, 2023Ep. 29: Accepting Soggy Dollars for today’s cocktail - The Painkiller & Frozen Chiller
A classic tiki cocktail in its own right, that is synonymous with the Caribbean - it’s the Painkiller. According to a 2015 factoid, there have been over 4 million Painkillers served… I wonder how much higher that is today?! A painkiller is meant to alleviate your pains and worries while you sip away with the sunset and, with Jules’ frozen twist, it’ll be hard to imagine you’re not on a tropical vacation.

How to make the Painkiller:

In your shaker tin
2oz of Dark Rum (Pussers, I used Lemon Heart, Pussers, Mt. Gay - Barbados, and Cruzan were original)
1oz Coconut cream (coco lopez)
2oz Fresh pineapple juice (unsweetened if you don’t want to juice your own)
1 oz fresh orange juice
Shake it for 2 seconds
Fill your chilled collins glass up with ice
Strain over ice in your collins glass, tiki mug, or plastic cup
Garnish with fresh nutmeg
Toss a pineapple wedge in there if you want

Jules’ Frozen Chiller

1 oz. Dark rum
1 oz Mezcal
½ cup frozen pineapple juice
½ cup frozen mango
1 oz. coconut cream
1 oz fresh orange juice
½ oz strawberry syrup

Blend until smooth

March 15, 2023Ep. 26: Laddie, you got to whip it - Irish Coffee and Irish Coffee Milkshake
In this episode we talk about the history of Irish coffee, you’ll learn how to drink Irish whiskey, and how to make the BEST Irish coffee and BEST Irish coffee milkshake. Need we say more?

Irish Coffee
Warm a 6oz coffee mug / glass (clear is best if you want to show off)
Add 2 sugar cubes to mug / glass
Add 4 oz freshly brewed coffee - smooth and dark blends are best
Stir until the sugar dissolves
Add 1.5 oz of Irish Whiskey (only @tullamoredew will do)
Stir one more time (this is the last time you’ll stir)
In another container, lightly whip 1 oz of heavy cream (heavy whipping cream is the same thing)
In one hand hold your bar spoon so the spoon faces up and just under the surface of the coffee. With your other hand, pour your lightly whipped cream into the center of the spoon so the cream floats on top of the beverage. If you did it right, you’ll see a defined line between the cream and the coffee below.
Sip your drink through the cold cream and never ever (EVER) stir your cream into the coffee.

Irish Coffee Milkshake… ya baby!
In a blender
Add 2-3 Scoops vanilla ice cream
2 oz irish whiskey
¾ oz coffee liqueur
4 oz cold brew
½ oz brown sugar syrup, or maple syrup (uh, that’s Canadian)
Blend until smooth
Pour into your old school milk shake glass
Garnish: crushed up thin mints or dusting of chocolate
