The Episode:
The Situations:
Jean Grae got married in Las Vegas, Ben is having cultural references go over his head and Chris went to see Dan Deacon open for the Arcade Fire.
The Drinks:
Blinker
2 oz Wild Turkey Rye Whiskey
1 oz Grapefruit Juice
1/4 oz simple syrup
1 bsp raspberry preserves
Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. No garnish.
The Modern Gambler AKA Earth Rain and Fire(via)
2 oz Bombay Sapphire Gin
3/4 oz St. Germain Liqueur
1 oz Lemon Juice
1 oz Simple Syrup
5 Blueberries
5 Mint sprigs
3 Jalapeño slices
Muddle blueberries, mint and jalapeno with simple syrup. Add remaining ingredients and shake over ice. Double strain into a chilled Martini glass.
Ramos Gin Fizz in a whipped cream maker (via)
2 ounces gin
1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
1/2 ounce simple syrup
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
1 egg white
1 ounce heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon orange flower water
roughly 2 oz seltzer
Put your serving glass and the bottle of your whipped cream maker (I have an iSi 1 pint version) into the freezer to chill while you measure out your other ingredients. Place all ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice and shake for 30 seconds to mix and get everything nice and cold. Strain the liquids into your whipped cream maker and charge it according to the manufacturer’s directions. Shake the whipped cream maker about five times, then dispense into your glass. Note: Be careful and stop before all the liquid is dispensed, the last little bit might splatter in all directions. Add a little seltzer to the glass and serve with a spoon.
