Cremma Lemma – Bloomery SweetShine

Red, White, and Booze

Happy Memorial Day, everyone! We hope you’re celebrating with all your favorite people as we honor and remember our veterans. If you’re entertaining guests this weekend it’s the perfect time to try our new Red, White, & Booze creations!

Our go-to for any hot weather outdoor party is the classic Mint Julep. This minty cool cocktail is traditionally served in a tin cup with crushed ice to ensure maximum chill. Plus, it features America’s spirit … Bourbon! For extra patriot points we’re adding strawberries, blueberries, and Cremma Lemma SweetShine to make our Red, White, & Julep!

What you need:

2 oz Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

1/2 oz Cremma Lemma SweetShine

1 sugar cube

5+ fresh mint leaves, to taste

1+ strawberry, to taste

8+ blueberries, to taste

crushed ice

Add sugar cube, mint, berries, and Cremma Lemma to a julep tin, or any glass you prefer.

Press and twist to muddle. Your goal is to release oil from the mint and juices from the berries while dissolving the sugar.

Add crushed ice.

The ice MUST be crushed to achieve the maximum cooling effect of this cocktail, and don’t skimp! You want enough ice to create a dome like a snow cone.

Add bourbon, and give it a gentle stir.

If you need, add more ice to create your dome.

Decorate your festive little julep with fresh mint and berries.

Don’t forget a coaster!

Cheers!

Oh, wait! We have two bonus recipes for you!

If juleps are a little too boozy for your crowd (we’re looking at you, Aunt Ida!), try our lower proof Red, White, & Blueberry.

1 oz blueberry purée

1 oz lemonade

1 oz Cremma Lemma

top with champagne, to taste

Mix lemonade with Cremma Lemma. Stir to combine and set aside.
Pour blueberry purée into bottom of glass.
Fill glass with ice.
Gently pour Cremma Lemma mixture over the back of a spoon to layer over blueberry purée.
Gently top with champagne.
Garnish with fresh Strawberry.

If you need a quick dessert, try our Red, White, & Booze Bowls

Simply top short cakes, angel food cake, or whatever type of cake you love with fresh strawberries and blueberries, then pour some chilled Cremma Lemma on top!

Red, White, and Bubbly

Get ready for the 4th of July with some fizzy fun! We’re keeping this one nice and simple so you can just sip and relax this holiday weekend.

Here’s what you need:

1 tbsp strawberry puree

2 oz Cremma Lemma

3 oz champagne

(Really, though, you can use whatever ratios you like).

Don’t forget! The cream in Cremma Lemma rises to the top and forms an all-natural plug in the neck of the bottle, so if you’re trying to pour but nothing is coming out, just give it a good shake! And if a little piece of the plug pours out, eat it! It tastes like boozy cheesecake. BONUS!

And now for the cocktail …

First, chill all ingredients and glassware.

Spoon 1 tbsp strawberry puree into the bottom of a chilled martini glass.

Sit the spoon on top of the puree, then gently pour Cremma Lemma into the bowl of the spoon to layer.

Just like so.

Carefully top with chilled champagne.

Cut the bottom of a strawberry for garnish.

Beautiful.

Add a festive blue straw to complete the patriotic look.

Cheers, and Happy Independence Day!

Pennywise

“We all float down here.” -Pennywise

Oil Painting by kelendersart.

We’ve all had nightmares starring this creepy clown from Stephen King’s It, which makes him the perfect inspiration for a truly terrifying Halloween cocktail that is sure to give your guests a terrible fright.

Here’s what you’ll need:

F0r cocktail:

1 1/2 oz vodka

1 1/2 oz Cremma Lemma SweetShine

1/2 oz amaretto

splash lemon juice

For garnish:

1/2 c. white chocolate chips

1/4 c. sliced almonds

6 maraschino cherries

red sugar

foil or wax paper

Heat white chocolate chips in 15 second intervals in the microwave, until just barely melted.

Line the counter with foil or wax paper.

Use a spoon to create a mouth shape.

Sprinkle with red sugar.

Insert almond teeth.

Add a cherry nose.

This recipe makes 6 scary clown mouth garnishes, but be sure to make them one at a time since the chocolate hardens quickly!

In a mixing glass, or in this case a mason jar, pour vodka over ice.

Add Cremma Lemma SweetShine.

Add amaretto.

Squeeze a wedge of lemon for a splash of juice.

Cover and shake vigorously until ice old.

Prepare a chilled cocktail glass with a partial sugar rim. Just use the fall out from your clown mouth garnishes.

Strain the cocktail into your glass.

Add your creepy clown mouth, and try not to have a nightmare after drinking it.

Cheers!

Key Lime Pie Daiquiri

We’re in the mood to drink our dessert. How does a Key Lime Pie Daiquiri sound? Delicious? We thought so, too.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Equal parts:

Cremma Lemma SweetShine

spiced rum

fresh limeade

What’s a “part”? It can be an ounce, a cup, or whatever you decide, as long as all ingredients are in equal parts.

Pour Cremma Lemma over ice. Be sure to use a shaker or jar with a lid.

Add spiced rum.

Add limeade.

Cover.

Shake vigorously until frothy.

Dip the rim of a chilled glass into simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, dissolved).

Dip the coated rim in graham cracker crumbs.

Use a strainer or the lid of your jar to strain the cocktail into your prepared glass.

Like so.

Add a slice of lime and whipped cream for garnish, if desired.
