Call it Kismet

Posted on January 25, 2012 | Leave a comment

Perspective, karma and fortuity intertwine within this champagne flute to ultimately dance upon the tip of the tongue. That’s why it’s Call it Kismet. Believe in Lady Luck, destiny, hard work or ordinary happenstance. No matter how you call the future, once in a while everything comes down to the luck of the draw. Call it Kismet utilizes Heering Cherry liqueur’s deep cherry flavor with subtle chocolate notes then laces in rich coffee and lush vanilla. While it could have stopped at very simple, Brut Champagne adds the divine intervention of bubbly.

1/2 measure Navan

Brut Champagne

Cherry Garnish

Combine liqueurs in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to chill. Strain into chilled champagne flute. Top with champagne. Garnish with cherry. Wonderful deeply rich flavor of cherries kissed by hint of chocolate, rounded out by the essence of vanilla.

Canadian Club Sherry Cask

Posted on December 23, 2011 | Leave a comment

Canadian Club Sherry Cask is aged for at least eight years in single use American white oak bourbon barrels. It is then double matured in sherry casks that have been imported from Jerez, Spain.

Canadian Club Sherry Cask Brand Tasting Notes

Aroma: Mediterranean fruits, gentle oak and sherry

Taste: Rich, full and round. Intriguing presence of sultans, dates and figs in balance with toasted grains and mellow oak. Deep and enduring sweetness in finish that closes with subtle sherry and oak.

Some prefer smooth sipping neat or on the rocks, while others prefer the full on cocktail experience. Decide for yourself.

1-1/2 measure Canadian Club Sherry Cask

1/2 measure Heering Cherry Liqueur

1-1/2 measure Lemon Sour

Lemon Wheel & Cherry Garnish

Combine liquids in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with lemon wheel and cherry.

Must Try Classic Cocktail Alternatives

Posted on June 1, 2011 | 3 Comments

This Manhattan style cocktail contains definite flavor of dry vermouth spilling into the flavor palate. Would perhaps benefit by switching Heering Cherry Liqueur for Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur in my opinion as the Luxardo washes a bit too perfumy in this particular cocktail. Though the flavors meld together nicely the longer the drink sits in the glass. Cynar rather nice fit for this version. Might like hint more, but that is only due to my fascination with the artichoke spirit. Definite must try for bourbon enthusiasts and Manhattan cocktail lovers.

Bensonhurst

2 measures Bourbon

1 measure Dry Vermouth

1/2 measure Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur

1/4 measure Cynar Artichoke Liqueur

Maraschino Cherry Garnish

Combine liquids in mixing glass with ice. Stir to thoroughly chill. Strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with maraschino cherry.

Holiday that celebrates the artichoke: National Artichoke Heart Day, March 16

Bensonhurst is a cocktail descendent of the Brooklyn Cocktail which calls for Amer Picon, a rare liqueur. This original adaptation utilizes Cynar. Named for a tough Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn. The original Bensonhurst version below is created by Chad Solomon of Cuffs and Buttons.

Bensonhurst

2 measures Rye

1 measure Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth

2 measures Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur

1 teaspoon Cynar

Without Garnish

Amer Picon is a French aperitif with bitter sweet flavors primarily highlighted as herbal and orange.

Brooklyn Cocktail

1-1/2 measure Rye

1/2 measure Dry Vermouth

1/4 measure Maraschino Liqueur

1/4 measure Amer Picon

Combine liquids in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into chilled cocktail glass.

Another variation is the Brooklyn which utilizes Canadian Whisky rather than Rye or Bourbon.

Brooklyn

2 measures Canadian Club Whisky

1 measure Dry Vermouth

Dash Amer Picon

Dash Maraschino Liqueur

Lemon Twist Garnish – Optional

Combine liquids in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with optional lemon twist.

Classic Black Russian Variations

Posted on April 18, 2011 | Leave a comment

The Black Russian is a bar staple, but it is also the basis for creative flavor manipulation. Vodka creates the blank canvas to begin with and coffee liqueur provides flavor. Fine-tune from this point to suit your flavor palate and possibilities abound.

Classic Black Russian

1-3/4 ounce Vodka

3/4 ounce Coffee Liqueur

Combine liquids in rocks glass over fresh ice. Stir. Optional cherry garnish.

Delicious variations to consider:

Patron Tequila with Patron XO Café Tequila Liqueur

Espresso Vodka with Kahlua Especial

Espresso Vodka with Frangelico, Amaretto or Walnut Liqueur

Anejo Rum with Coffee Liqueur

Also consider Heering Cherry Liqueur, NAVAN Vanilla Liqueur, Benedictine and various bitters as alternatives to begin adapting the Black Russian. Of course don’t forget the Classic Black Russian is the building block drink for the White Russian, Colorado Bulldog and Mudslide.

Stalking the Huntress

Posted on April 13, 2011 | Leave a comment

Girl’s Night Out will never be the same for bourbon lovers seeking lighthearted, flavorful cocktails for a night out with friends. Huntress is an exquisite desert or anytime cocktail. Heering Cherry Liqueur is a must for this drink as well as bourbon that contains round vanilla notes rather than stripped wood tones. Skip the Triple Sec all together as it becomes rather unnecessary and lost in this delightful sipper.

Huntress

1 ounce Bourbon

1 ounce Cherry Liqueur

1 ounce Heavy Cream

Dash Triple Sec

Combine liquids in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend and chill thoroughly. Strain into chilled cocktail glass.

Bourbon and cherry liqueur meld together like a symphony in the Huntress. Just divine! Not too sweet, not too rich, but decadently playful. Exactly perfect!

Variations of the Classic Alexander

Posted on January 31, 2011 | 1 Comment

Though the classic Alexander originally contained gin as the primary base spirit, it is most commonly mixed with Brandy in today’s cocktail culture and ordered as a Brandy Alexander. As was the case with many classic cocktails, the Alexander was born out of necessity so to speak. Prohibition made way for back alley haphazard poor quality style gin which left a rather bad taste in many people’s mouths. The bad taste didn’t stop the masses from drinking, but it did set the wheels in motion for more creative mixing.

This little cocktail is so popular it has its own holiday. January 31 is Brandy Alexander Day.

Alexander

1 ounce Gin

1 ounce Crème de Cacao

1 ounce Heavy Cream

Combine liquids in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake thoroughly to blend and chill. Strain into chilled cocktail glass. Notation: Some books reference the gin version of this drink as an Alexandra while others call it an Alexander, each with varying measurements.

Cherry Vanilla Alexander – adapted by Cheri Loughlin from the classic Brandy Alexander

3/4 ounce Brandy or Cognac

1/2 ounce Vanilla Liqueur

1/2 ounce White Crème de Cacao

1/4 ounce Heering Cherry Liqueur

1 ounce Heavy Cream

Maraschino Cherry Garnish

Combine liquids in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake until chilled and frothy. Strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with maraschino cherry. Notation: Half & Half may be substituted for the heavy cream. Additional variations to the classic Brandy Alexander can be made by decreasing the Crème de Cacao and supplementing a favorite flavor such as amaretto, hazelnut, raspberry… the possibilities are endless. Experiment with something new!

Alexander Frappe

1 ounce Brandy, Cognac or Gin

1 ounce Crème de Cacao

1 ounce Heavy Cream

Large Scoop Vanilla Ice Cream

Grated Nutmeg Garnish

Place liquids and ice cream in blender. Blend to smooth consistency. Pour into large chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with grated nutmeg.

The spirited cocktail calendar mentions January 31 as National Brandy Alexander Day. The Brandy Alexander is said to have been one of John Lennon’s favorite cocktails. More variations include a Coffee Alexander which exchanges coffee liqueur for the base spirit and the non-alcoholic Lennon’s Milkshake.

The Classic Cocktail Hunt

Posted on January 20, 2011 | 1 Comment

Always on the hunt for simply assembled, classic styled cocktails with flavorful twist led me to the Hunter. Overproof bourbon allows the touch of rich cherry chocolate liqueur to weave itself throughout the cocktail in magical fashion.

Hunter

1-1/2 ounces overproof Bourbon

1/2 ounce Heering Cherry Liqueur

Combine liquids in mixing glass with ice. Stir to blend and chill. Strain into old fashioned coupe or small cocktail glass.

Not too sweet. Flavors mingle nicely without disguising the primary feel of either spirit. Bourbon stays warm and true with hints of cherry chocolate vanilla dancing lightly upon the tongue.
