Back Surf

We’ve been inspired by our local outdoor adventurers, so this month’s cocktails pay tribute to white water terms. If you’re a paddler you know to watch out for back surf … when a hydraulic pulls your boat back into a surf, unwillingly. Don’t get sucked in, but do try this tasty drink!

Here’s what you need:

1 oz coconut rum

1 oz Cranberry Clementine SweetShine

3-4 oz fresh limeade

In a glass with ice, pour 1 oz coconut rum.

Shake up a bottle of Cranberry Clementine SweetShine.

Add 1 oz Cranberry Clementine SweetShine to the glass.

Top with limeade.

Slice a lime into wheels (optional).

Add lime wheel and orange wedge (both optional).

Add some coconut strips for funzies (also optional).

Bramble On

“And though our health we drank a thousand times, it’s time to ramble on …” -Led Zeppelin

Inspired by Led Zeppelin’s classic rock song, Ramble On, here is the first in a series of Rocktails (cocktails that rock!) from Bloomery SweetShine! This one is based on the classic Bramble which features gin, fresh lemon, simple syrup, and blackberry liqueur. We’ve jazzed it up a bit by incorporating barrel aged gin, fresh blackberries and mint, and Ginger SweetShine.

Here’s what you need:

blackberries

fresh mint

1 oz fresh lemonade

1 1/2 oz barrel gin

1/2 oz Ginger SweetShine

crushed ice

candied ginger (optional)

Start by adding blackberries and mint to a short glass.

Add 1 oz lemonade.

Muddle.

Place ice on a towel.

‘

Beat it. Just beat it. Wait …. wrong song.

Crushed ice is very important to the recipe. It dilutes the cocktail a little quicker and makes it extra cold and refreshing.

Fill your glass until you have a dome of crushed ice.

Add 1 1/2 oz barrel aged gin, or any gin you prefer.

Top with 1/2 oz Ginger SweetShine.

Don’t forget this very important step, though. Shake well first!

Give it a stir and garnish with fresh mint, a lemon wheel, blackberries, and a piece of candied ginger (if desired).

Cheers!
