Lemon Limoncello Martini Spicy Vodka

January 6, 2016 Sarah Murphy

Many of you have enjoyed, or at least heard of, our famous Hot Ass Lemon Drop, but you can’t always find Hellfire bitters. Don’t fret. Here’s a slightly different approach to get the same spicy results.

What you need:

1 oz Limoncello SweetShine

1 oz vodka

1 oz lemonade

pinch cayenne pepper

First, as with any martini, you’ll want to chill your glass. Simply fill it with ice water before you start building your drink.

Start with some sort of shaker with ice, and add 1 oz Limoncello SweetShine,

1 oz vodka,

and 1 oz lemonade.

Add a pinch of cayenne pepper, to taste.

Cover and shake until very cold.

Discard the ice water from your martini glass.

Strain.

Pom Collins

November is National Pomegranate Month, so we’re putting this funtastic fruit into a SweetShine cocktail.

What the heck do you do with this thing, though? Let’s explore …

You’ll need a blender, mesh strainer, and container for the juice.

Start by slicing the pomegranate in half, vertically.

Cut into quarters and use your fingers or a spoon to carefully remove the arils. Be sure to get every last one!

Pour arils into a blender, setting a few aside for garnish, and pulse a few times to release juice. Strain into container, pressing arils with a spoon to get all the juice.

To build the cocktail you’ll need:

2 oz gin

1 oz Raspberry Lemon SweetShine

3/4 oz pomegranate juice

juice of 1/2 lemon

1-2 oz club soda

fresh mint

pomegranate arils

In a glass pour 2 oz gin, 1 oz Raspberry Lemon SweetShine, and 3/4 oz pomegranate juice.

Slice a lemon in half, horizontally, and squeeze 1/2 lemon into the cocktail.

Fill glass with ice and stir.

Gently top with club soda and stir again.

Garnish with a fresh sprig of mint and sprinkle a few arils on top.

Apple Baking Cider Dessert Fall Ginger Ice Cream

November 12, 2015 Sarah Murphy

Ginger Baked Apples

Here’s a fall-tastic dessert featuring fresh apples and genuinely grizzly Ginger SweetShine.

What you’ll need:

4 apples

1/3 c. oats

1/3 c. brown sugar, loosely packed

1/4 c. flour

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. salt

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/4 c. unsalted butter, softened

1 c. apple cider

1/3 c. Ginger SweetShine

*Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Combine oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt in a mixing bowl.

Add butter and vanilla extract.

Use a fork to combine until evenly mixed.

Insert a knife 3/4 into the top of each apple and cut a circle around the core.

Remove the core and seeds with your knife or a spoon.

Place the apples in a baking dish and stuff with oat mixture.

Pour apple cider and Ginger SweetShine into the bottom of the dish.

Bake 30-90 minutes, depending on the size of your apples. Baste every 10 minutes or so. The apples will shrivel and turn a slightly darker color when done.

Let the apples cool a few minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream.

I’m just gonna go ahead and enjoy this one.

Cheers, y’all!

Beer Black Walnut Chocolate Halloween Stout Vodka

October 29, 2015 Sarah Murphy

Cereal Killer

This weird beer cocktail is infused with a certain chocolate cereal that appears this time of year. I hear it’s from Transylvania.

Here’s what you’ll need:

1/2 oz Black Walnut SweetShine

1 oz chocolate vodka

3 oz milk stout

3 oz chocolate cereal with marshmallows, plus 2 oz more for rim

chocolate syrup for rim

We’ll start by infusing 3 oz milk stout with 3 oz chocolate cereal.

Simply pour cereal in a glass and top with stout. Let it sit for a few minutes. Practice a little patience here. The longer it sits the more chocolaty goodness you’ll enjoy.
