The Dude Imbibes

“Careful, man! There’s a beverage here.” – The Dude

Inspired by the favorite drink of the Dude, played by Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski, here is a SweetShine version of the classic White Russian.

What you need:

1 1/2 oz vodka

1/2 oz Black Walnut SweetShine

2 oz half & half

That’s it. Just three ingredients!

In a mixing glass combine 1 1/2 oz vodka …

1/2 oz Black Walnut SweetShine …

And 2 oz half & half.

Add ice.

Cover and shake until frothy.

Pour into glass.

Doesn’t that look wonderful?

Yum!

You can get fancy if you like. We prefer to add a chocolate wafer stick.

Cheers!

Hot Ass Lemon Drop II

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.

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.
