Science Of Drink

Theme of this MxMo is local flavor. Actually it is very interesting for me. I glad to present to you our ukrainian authentic alcohol drink - gorilka. Gorilka is same thing that vodka - strong drink from wheat and rye (in common case grain) rectificated spirit with different aromatic additives such as aromatic spirits from plants, berries and other. The real ukrainian taste of gorilka is unusual and very brave combination of pepper and honey. It is very cool combination I must say.

For MxMo I prepare very unusual cocktail from Honey Pepper Gorilka - Honey Pepper Manhattan. It is coctail for real man with big heart :) And bad appetite ;) It is a joke!

Nemiroff Honey Pepper Manhattan

50 ml Nemiroff Honey Pepper Original Gorilka
20 ml sweet italian vermouth
1-2 drops Angostura bitters
Stir. Cocktail glass. Garnish with a cocktail cherry.

This cocktail has unique combination of burning pepper and sweet honey taste.

Some people think that blue cocktail is not serious. It unworthy of real imbiber, but I think different :) For example, this cocktail is very serious - 2 oz of gin is no joke!

Blue Bird

60 ml gin
30 ml Cointreau
30 ml blue curacao
1-2 dash Angostura bitter
Shake. Cocktail glass, garnish with lemon twist and cherry.

It is potent aperitif with bright bitter-sweet taste.

Another beautifull strawberry cocktail for St. Valentins Day (or 8 March Day…).

Tequila Fresa

45 ml tequila
20 ml strawberry liqueur
15 ml fresh lime juice
2 dash orange bitters
Shake. Cocktail glass. Garnish with lemon twist and strawberry.

Admirable!

Actually I don`t have orange bitters in my liquor cabinet. Therefor I prepare a substitute of it as described here.

The illness was gone. :) Lets imbibe!

Alfonso Special

30 ml gin

This legendary cocktail is the precursor to the most famous of all cocktails, the Martini.

Some interesting facts about Martinez give us Jamie Boudreau.

My favorite version has sweet vermouth taste with light citrus and floral undertones. Try citrus vermouth by Cinzano (Lemetto or Orancio) for unusual results and new experience.
