Pour a drink (pg 16)

Episode: Mint Julep

Mint Julep

Whiskey
A classic just in time for the Derby. You can adjust the sugar measurements to your taste preference. We like to use brown sugar cubes when we find them.
This cocktail is a perfect balance of sweet and bubbly poured over crushed ice. Try it in a pitcher for sharing. It'll save you all those trips to the bar.
We're not usually rum drinkers, however, the combination of rum and pomegranate makes this drink exceptionally tasty.
Episode: La Capirucha

La Capirucha

Mezcal
Prickly pear is one of those fruits that we don't consume often enough. Made into a syrup and mixed with mezcal, well we might change our minds. We're not so sure about that salt rim, so if you're not into smokey worms, we suggest you skip it and opt for a traditional salt rim.
Episode: Blood and Sand

Blood and Sand

Whiskey
This is one of the tastiest cocktails to date. It's also a beauty to look at. We'd love to get a pitcher of this and share with you all.
Episode: Aviation

Aviation

Gin
Aviation was created before Prohibition and was lost for a moment then returned as one of the classics. Its taste is as bright and fun as its color.
This beauty was first invented at the Detroit Athletic Club. The combined elements are the perfect blend you'll want to have every day.
Episode: Sidecar

Sidecar

Liqueur
A favorite during the Prohibition era, the Sidecar is a fruity, sweet and dry cocktail that’s easy to drink and a delight to sip.
Sometimes easier is better. And there is nothing simpler than pouring your favorite bubbly and adding lively color.
This sweet and tart gin cocktail is pretty easy to make and even easier to drink. The purple basil gives it a peppery kick for those holiday parties.
