Happy Birthday Italian Cream Cake Martini & Giveaway

Italian Cream Cake Martini inspired by my favorite dessert cake! – recipe and photo by Mixologist Cheri Loughlin, The Intoxicologist

I shared my favorite cookie with you a few weeks ago when National Oatmeal Cookie Day graced the calendar. Today I’m sharing my all-time favorite cake with you; Italian Cream Cake. There isn’t a holiday for it that I know of. But, my birthday is tomorrow, May 14. If I’m not blowing candles out from a stack of Oatmeal Cookies, it’s usually from a homemade Italian Cream Cake.

Italian Cream Cake Martini is inspired by the Italian Cream Cake recipe for a Happy Birthday cocktail

My Happy Birthday Cocktail! – recipe and photo by Mixologist Cheri Loughlin, The Intoxicologist

I rarely see this particular cake in many bakeries. When I do, it’s usually some sort of mix without all the bells and whistles. I like my cake with all the bells and whistles if you know what I mean. I want my Italian Cream Cake dense and full of shredded coconut, not just coconut flavoring. There should be walnut chunks packed in there. And I like this particular cake served ice cold. Cream cheese icing with shredded coconut and more nuts sprinkled in there, too. That sounds pretty picky, I know. But I rarely eat desserts. I figure if I’m going to eat it, I want to thoroughly enjoy it.

Italian Cream Cake Martini Recipe

This year I nixed actual cookies or cake from the birthday plan. But I still wanted to enjoy a little dessert decadence. Just as the Oatmeal Cookie gets its shot at cocktail heaven, the Italian Cream Cake receives its place in cocktail glory.

Italian Cream Cake Martini – recipe by Cheri Loughlin, The Intoxicologist

1-1/2 ounce Vanilla Vodka

3/4 ounce Malibu Coconut Rum

1/4 ounce Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur

1 ounce Cranberry Juice

3/4 ounce Pineapple Juice

Maraschino Cherry & Lime Peel Garnish

Combine liquids in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into chilled martini glass. Garnish with maraschino cherry and lime peel.

I did think about using Praline Pecan Liqueur or a walnut liqueur for more authentic flavor since Italian Cream Cake recipes usually call for pecans or walnuts. Hazelnut liqueur is a bit easier to find making this recipe accessible for more people. The flavor works perfectly. There is nice cake batter flavor with the Vanilla vodka. It blends wonderfully with the coconut rum for the coconut flavor I love so much in the original cake recipe. Nut and pineapple flavors round out the cocktail just right. Dessert in a glass. Gotta love it!

But what would a birthday be without gifts?!

2 Blood Orange Vodka Spring Drink Recipes

Posted on March 31, 2013 | Comments Off

SKYY Infusions Blood Orange Vodka Bottle with Tasting Glass 097

The classic Negroni cocktail recipe is always a personal favorite go-to drink for summer or winter sipping enjoyment. When it was time to review the SKYY Infusions Blood Orange Vodka, a variation of the Negroni instantly came to mind. Blood orange and grapefruit flavors both go rather nicely with the Negroni flavor profile. They seem to thin the drink recipe out a bit for warmer weather sipping. This makes the drink a great refresher. The cocktail recipe variation below just might be the ticket for soaking up a little sunshine.

By the way, March 31 is Oranges and Lemons Day. A Vodka infused with orange or blood orange would be perfect for the day!

Blood Orange Negroni

1 ounce SKYY Infusions Blood Orange Vodka

1/2 ounce Campari

1/2 ounce Sweet Vermouth

2 ounces Club Soda

Orange Slice Garnish

Fill highball glass two thirds full with ice. Add liquids to glass in order given, topping with club soda last. Garnish with orange slice.

If you feel like sipping something a little different (Orange Sorbet, Prosecco, SKYY Blood Orange Vodka and Orange Juice), then check out the Blood Orange Sgroppino drink recipe photographed and described in great visual detail on the Italian La Bella Vita blog. This cocktail looks amazing and sounds delicious!

Orange Breeze

2 ounces SKYY Infusions Blood Orange Vodka

1/2 ounce Pineapple Juice

1/2 ounce Cranberry Juice

1/2 ounce Lemon Juice

Orange Twist or Orange Slice Garnish

Combine liquids in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with orange twist or orange slice garnish. (More drink recipes like this one provided by Campari America on flickr in the SKYY Infusions Blood Orange tag.

What is SKYY Infusions Blood Orange Vodka?

Vodka infused with natural blood orange flavors. SKYY Infusions Blood Orange is made with real blood oranges and SKYY Vodka. It is carefully infused with all-natural ingredients with the goal of irresistibly crisp, fresh taste and lusciously sweet blood orange. – Information printed on bottle label

70 Proof / 35% alcohol

Suggested Retail Price:$15 to $19 range depending on area

Availability: Main market area is United States and Canada.

SKYY Infusions Blood Orange Vodka Tasting Notes

Color: Clear

Aroma: Reminds me of opening a fresh bag of candy sweet tarts. Powdery sweet with bit of sugary tartness. Makes my mouth water a little. No burn.

Tasted Neat: Sweetness, though it is minimal. Very little burn. Orange with hint of bitter, like the oily skin of orange. Not lush. Bit fruity like you might expect from cocktail fruit juice, but not as sweet. Definitely reminds me more of candy flavor rather than natural fruit flavor. Slightly artificial tasting as it doesn’t seem to roll over the tongue with layered lushness. Seems a bit one dimensional in its streamlined flavor.

Jacob’s Ghost White Whiskey Spring Drink Recipes

Posted on March 29, 2013 | Comments Off

You’ll notice Jacob’s Ghost White Whiskey doesn’t say “moonshine” on the label. It’s White Whiskey, not moonshine. It isn’t backwoods, bootleg liquor of the illicit sort. It isn’t unaged whiskey, otherwise known as white dog. This is one-of-a-kind, aged whiskey, made from the same mash bill Jacob Beam started with so long ago in 1795.

It’s white whiskey that could be consumed straight or on the rocks, but why do that when there are plenty of drink recipes with whiskey available to tweak with this spirit variation?

Jacob’s Ghost is aged for at least one year in charred, white oak barrels yielding a light-bodied 80-proof whiskey. It is clean and crisp on the nose with hints of light vanilla and sweet corn undertones. The aging process renders a smooth, sweet flavor with hints of smoke, rounded out by soft barrel notes on the finish. – Brand fact sheet information

Some like Jacob’s Ghost just the way it is, but it’s also fun to shake things up a bit with a few whiskey cocktail drink recipes. The whole speakeasy movement and throwback to Prohibition Era cocktails has brought new thought to reinventing the way classic cocktails are fashioned. The following are a few brand recommended drink recipes for spring sipping.

Southern Storm – created by Tony Devencenzi, San Francisco

1-1/2 ounce Jacob’s Ghost White Whiskey

1-1-2 ounce Pineapple Juice

1-1/2 ounce Ginger Beer

4 to 5 dashes Angostura Bitters

Pineapple Wedge Garnish

Combine whiskey and juice in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into highball glass over fresh ice. Top with ginger beer. Add dashes of bitters. Garnish with pineapple wedge.

You thought you knew the easy 2 ingredient beer cocktails; Shandy and Shandy Gaff. Now get to know them a little better by adding some ghostly spirit to the cocktail.

Jacob’s Shandy – created by Lynn House, Chicago

1 ounce Jacob’s Ghost White Whiskey

2 ounces Lemonade

1 ounce Light Beer – chilled

Lemon Wheel Garnish

Combine whiskey and lemonade in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend. Strain into chilled rocks glass – no ice. Top with chilled beer. Garnish with lemon wheel.

The Moscow Mule is a classic vodka drink recipe with simple two ingredients. Jacob’s Ghost sweetens the deal by making this a white whiskey drink recipe with dazzling ginger liqueur topped with the traditional ginger beer.

Clermont Mule – created by Larry Rice, Kentucky

1 ounce Jacob’s Ghost White Whiskey

1/2 ounce Lime Juice

1/2 ounce Simple Syrup

1/4 ounce DeKuyper Ginger Liqueur

Ginger Beer

Build liquids in rocks glass over fresh ice in order given, saving ginger beer until last. Stir gently. Top with ginger beer.

Jacob’s Ghost White Whiskey began selling nationwide February 2013 for suggested retail price of $21.99 for 750ml bottle.

Review: Caliche Rum

Posted on March 26, 2013 | Comments Off

Caliche Rum 065 photo copyright Cheri Loughlin

Caliche Rum is aged up to four years. The purpose of slow blending is to give the rum an extremely smooth, modern characteristic with unique, clean balance of vanilla and citrus flavor and hint of oak. The intention in taste experience is an immediate rum flavor with velvety texture, followed by hints of caramel and vanilla. Citrus lingers slightly providing a crisp note then cleanly disappears with light tannins and oak. – media materials provided by brand representatives

Distilled, aged and bottled by Destilleria Serrallés, Inc. Ponce, Puerto Rico.

80 Proof / 40% alcohol

Suggested Retail Price: $25 range

Availability: Initially available in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago and Dallas

Tasting Notes

Color: Clear

Aroma: Some burn. Flat. Bit non-descript as far as rum goes.

Tasted Neat: Butterscotch. Quite a bit of burn. Burn does dissipate rather quickly, though. Barely any sweetness. Buttery is faint. Slight vanilla. Hardly any roundness as some rums seem to have. Little bit of toffee. Hint of coffee. Light citrus.

Mouth Feel: Thin

Caliche Wood Top 076 photo copyright Cheri Loughlin

I love the rope around the neck of the bottle and the wooden bottle stopper. Interesting design etched in the wood, too. Not a fan of the orange lettering or the actual bottle though. But hey, it’s what’s inside that counts, right?!

Possible Uses, Pairings and / or Cocktails: Rum cocktails always make an appearance on my back deck when warmer weather finally makes its way back around. Pick up a bottle, grab a shaker and enjoy the sunshine.

Caliche Rum has a nice selection of cocktails on their website. I thought you might enjoy the two below for starters.

Cali Grapefruit

2 ounces Caliche Rum

1/2 ounce Campari

1 ounce Grapefruit Juice

1/4 ounce Agave Nectar

Club Soda

Grapefruit Wedge Garnish

Combine Caliche Rum, Campari, juice and agave nectar in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend. Pour into goblet or highball glass over fresh ice. Top with club soda. Garnish with grapefruit wedge.

Cali Gold

2 ounces Caliche Rum

1 ounce Lime Juice

1/2 ounce Pineapple Juice

1/4 ounce Agave Nectar

3 – 6 Cilantro Leaves

Cilantro Leaf Garnish

Lightly muddle cilantro leaves in mixing glass. Add liquid ingredients with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into highball glass over fresh ice. Garnish with cilantro leaf.

Drink in the Beaches of Blue Hawaii

Posted on March 20, 2013 | Comments Off

With Spring Break in full swing for some, yet the beautiful beaches out of reach for the vast majority it seems appropriate to bring Hawaii to the masses in the form of drink. Perhaps Hawaii is better known for more unusual drinks using ingredients such as papaya or Li Hing Mui, but the Blue Hawaiian is the cocktail with the namesake.

Happy 1st Day of Spring! What better way to celebrate spring than dream about catching a few Hawaiian waves. YouTube video posted by gdaniels32. Be sure to click through and subscribe to the original feed and look up the photography at www.beachboyphotography.com.

In researching the Blue Hawaiian, so many versions surfaced it was difficult to decipher which one was the “real” Blue Hawaiian and which ones were the imposters. What also came to the forefront is another drink often confused for the Blue Hawaiian; the Blue Hawaii. These two drinks share a name so similar it is no wonder they are often confused by many a bartender and patron alike. So let’s break down the difference.

A true Blue Hawaiian never contains vodka, but rather rum. It also uses cream of coconut rather than sweet and sour mix. Adversely, the Blue Hawaii uses vodka instead of rum and sweet and sour mix, but no cream of coconut. Both however share something in common always; Blue Curacao.

Blue Curacao is essentially an orange liqueur infused with the dried peels of the Larahas plant which is derived from the Valencia orange. The difference between Blue and Orange Curacao is the color. Substituting one for the other in a drink will only change the color, not the taste.

The Blue Hawaii has an advantage over the Blue Hawaiian in that it makes for quite the easy party punch as well as individual cocktail drink. Since the Blue Hawaiian traditionally calls for cream of coconut which needs thorough stirring, shaking or blending, it is not conducive to a punch bowl setting.

So, you decide. Pour over ice, stir, shake, or put the blender on puree. Set your sights on the sandy beaches of Hawaii, sit back and sip a tall, cool one. Choose one or try them all.

Blue Hawaiian

1 ounce Light Rum

2 ounces Pineapple Juice

1 ounce Blue Curacao

1 ounce Cream of Coconut

Pineapple Chunks Garnish

1 cup Ice

Combine liquids and ice in blender. Blend until all ice is thoroughly blended in cocktail. Pour into highball glass or decorative glass. Garnish with skewered pineapple chunks.

Blue Hawaii

1-1/2 ounce Vodka

1 ounce Blue Curacao

1 ounce Sour Mix

1 ounce Pineapple Juice

2 to 3 ounces Orange Juice

Pineapple Chunks & Maraschino Cherry Garnish

Combine liquids in highball glass over fresh ice. Stir to blend. Garnish with pineapple chunks and maraschino cherry.

Blend both worlds by trying the Blue Hawaii Cocktail.

Blue Hawaii Cocktail

1 ounce Vodka

1/2 ounce Blue Curacao

1/2 ounce Coconut Rum

1-1/2 ounce Pineapple Juice

3/4 ounce Lime Juice

Lemon Twist

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

Review: Brugal 1888 Rum

Posted on March 1, 2013 | Comments Off

Brugal 1888 Ron Gran Reserva Familiar Edition Limitada 03/04/2010

Twice distilled and aged in American oak with finish in Spanish oak sherry casks. Dark rum product from the Dominican Republic

80 Proof / 40% alcohol

Tasting Notes

Color: Dark reddish amber. Gold highlights

Aroma: Dryness. Light molasses

Tasted Neat: Nutty, chewiness in flavor. Burn. Deep molasses without too much sweetness. Hardly any sweet. Toasted caramel. Orange notes. Candied orange; again without the sweetness. Very warming. Heat of bitters. Burnt sugar. Espresso / mocha in after taste. Also vegetable dry bitterness like celery skin.

With water: Caramel aroma. Flavors of dark cherries, orange fruit minimal, but more peel. Burn is still there.

Mouth Feel: Thin

Possible Uses, Pairings and / or Cocktails: Great with brown sugar syrup if mixed in cocktail form. On the rocks with little melting to reduce heat. Too much burn for straight or neat pour in my opinion.

Dominicana

2 ounces Brugal 1888 Rum

1/2 ounce Lime Juice

1/2 ounce Pineapple Juice

1/2 ounce Orange Juice

Brown Sugar

Cherry

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

Maple Old Fashioned has also been suggested by some.

Beautiful bottle. Love the cap. Heavy. Reminds me of quality hardware tooling / fixtures. Always nice when extra attention is given to even the cap design of bottling. It’s just a shame when so much time and effort is put into a beautifully designed bottle and a flimsy, plastic lid is slapped on the top as if it’s an afterthought. I’m glad Brugal went the extra mile for quality in the weight of the lid as well.

Review: Lucid Absinthe Supérieure

Posted on February 16, 2013 | Comments Off

Reprinted in part from 2008 review. New information and recipes added.

Lucid took the United States by storm in 2007 after Viridian Spirits negotiated the return of genuine absinthe to U.S. soil after years of it being prohibited. Since March of 2007, Lucid has become quite the hot commodity in markets where imbibers look for the unusual and daring.

124 proof / 62% alco/vol

Suggested Retail Price: $59.99 for 750ml bottle

Available in both on- and off- premise locations throughout the United States

Imported by Viridian Spirits, the exclusive U.S. importer of T.A. Breaux’s Jade Liqueurs’ Nouvelle-Orleans Absinthe Supérieure. Available in the U.S., unchanged from its original formulation.

Lucid contains no commercial oils, essences, extracts, artificial coloring or other non-traditional ingredients.

After being prohibited in the U.S. for such an extensive time period many may not know what absinthe really is. Genuine absinthe is always distilled directly from a mixture of whole herbs in a neutral spirit of agricultural origin. The herbs must include Grande Wormwood, European green anise and sweet fennel and may also include other culinary herbs. The traditional green color is derived directly from the whole herbs and never from artificial colorant or chemicals. Absinthe never contains sugar as bottled; therefore it should not be classified as a liqueur. The high concentration of alcohol (60-70% on average) is needed to preserve the herbal content and natural green color. Lucid starts out at 124 proof, but the traditional French manner of preparing absinthe lowers the alcohol content to approximately 30 proof for sipping purposes.

The flavor of Lucid is an acquired taste for sure. Straight out of the bottle and into a glass, the flavor is too strong for me to say the very least. But I wanted a clear picture of what I was getting into with this tasting. Even though there is no sugar in the bottling of Lucid itself, there seems to be just a hint of sweetness in the finish. Possibly this stems from the neutral spirit the herbs are distilled in. The taste of licorice is extreme. If you are a fan of licorice, this is a spirit for you.

I was fortunate enough to have a spirits aficionado, Dan Crowell, lead me through the tasting of Lucid. He not only had an old-fashioned absinthe Brouillier that sits upon individual glasses, but he also had the Lucid Absinthe fountain. I have to say the old world charm of the Brouillier captures the history of bartending for me. Incorporating old and new is what modern day cocktailing is all about. We can never forget that bartending is an actual craft.

“Louching” occurs when the water mixes with the absinthe. This causes an opalescent cloud of herbal essences and fragrance to rise from the spirit.

Dan prepared the Lucid in the traditional French manner, explaining each step as he went along. As the water drips over the sugar cubes, through the slotted absinthe spoon and into the Lucid, it begins to cloud, releasing the herbal essence within the spirit. The scent of the licorice permeates the area. Once four to five ounces of ice-cold water have been dripped into the Lucid, it is time to taste. To be perfectly honest, Lucid prepared in this manner has the flavor of Good & Plenty Licorice candies. It is light and sweet on the palate with certain gentleness to it. There is definite licorice flavor to be sure, but it is not harsh. While I am not a fan of licorice or anise, sipping Lucid in the true way it was meant to be consumed opened my eyes to something new I may have never tried otherwise.

Lucid is truly a unique spirit worth learning about. The traditional French method is not the only way to try Lucid either. Lucid went to great lengths to appeal to the masses. Their Lucid cocktails are a testament to this fact.

The Mint Muse – variation on a classic Mojito

1-1/2 ounce Lucid Absinthe Supérieure

2 ounces Pineapple Juice

Lemon Lime Soda

6 to 8 Mint Leaves

Lime Wedge

Mint Sprig Garnish

Muddle mint leaves and lime wedge in bottom of cocktail shaker. Add Lucid, juice and ice. Shake to blend. Pour into highball glass. Top with lemon lime soda. Garnish with mint sprig.

Van Gogh

2-1/4 ounce Gin

3/4 ounce Lucid Absinthe Supérieure

1/4 ounce Black Currant Syrup

Combine liquids in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend. Strain into rocks glass over ice.
