Chris RuppelLAGOON WATER<br> <br> ½ oz lime cordial 🍋‍🟩<br> ¼ oz blue simple syrup 🔵<br> 1½ oz gin<br> 1 dash umami bitters<br> 4 drops saline<br> top with seltzer<br> <br> Garnish: orchid<br> Method: Set soda aside and build drink in glass in the order listed. Add a large rock of ice, add soda, and stir until color is even. <br> <br> I found this one on the cheerstohappyhour IG channel and had to work my butt off to make it happen ;) The build is quite involved as listed, making blue simple syrup and I also had to make the lime cordial (I'd wanted to for a while anyway). The umami bitters are also very niche, but luckily I'd already gotten them for another cocktail some months back. And finally, the clear ice and maintaining orchids at home are both their own projects spanning days/months :D If you can manage to make it, it's got a five-star look and tastes great on a sunny afternoon!<br> <br> 🔵 Blue simple syrup: combine 1 cup sugar and ¾ teaspoon blue spirulina powder (or food coloring), and stir to incorporate dry ingredients. Once mixed, add one cup water then stir until everything is dissolved.<br> <br> 🍋‍🟩 I used Jeffrey Morgenthaler's lime cordial recipe: <a href="https://jeffreymorgenthaler.com/lime-cordial/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://jeffreymorgenthaler.com/lime-cordial/</a><br> <br> 🔗 <a href="https://potentpotables.app/drinks/lagoon-water/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://potentpotables.app/drinks/lagoon-water/</a><br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/alcohol?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alcohol</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktail?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktail</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktails?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktails</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gin?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gin</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lime?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lime</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cordial?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cordial</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/LimeCordial?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LimeCordial</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/blue?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blue</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SimpleSyrup?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SimpleSyrup</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/umami?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#umami</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bitters?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bitters</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/saline?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#saline</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/orchid?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#orchid</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/garnish?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#garnish</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ClearIce?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClearIce</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/subshine?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#subshine</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/HomeBar?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeBar</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mixology?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mixology</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drinkstodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drinkstodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fedithirst?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fedithirst</a>
Chris RuppelOJEN COCKTAIL<br> <br> 3 dashes Peychauds bitters<br> ¼ oz (optional) orgeat<br> 2 oz Ojen anise liqueur<br> <br> Garnish: Peychauds float<br> Method: Fill a chilled double old fashioned glass halfway with crushed ice, add the anise liqueur, optional orgeat, the initial dashes of Peychauds, and swizzle. Add more crushed ice and swizzle again. Finally, top with additional crushed ice until it is higher than the glass, and float the Peychauds bitters on top.<br> <br> 🔗 <a href="https://potentpotables.app/drinks/ojen-cocktail/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://potentpotables.app/drinks/ojen-cocktail/</a><br> <br> This one was inspired by <a class="u-url" href="https://pixelfed.social/@SonicAlligator@gram.social" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@SonicAlligator@gram.social</a> who recently posted a top-down photo of a negroni. The spec actually calls for crushed ice, but the large rock plus Peychauds float is still a really pretty effect IMO. It definitely needs crushed ice and a good swizzle to taste like the spec intends though. The spec comes from the book Cure: New Orleans drinks and how to mix 'em, page 51.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/alcohol?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alcohol</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktail?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktail</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktails?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktails</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/homeBar?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeBar</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mixology?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mixology</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ojen?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ojen</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/anise?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#anise</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/liqueur?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#liqueur</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/peychauds?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#peychauds</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bitters?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bitters</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/orgeat?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#orgeat</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/almond?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#almond</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/syrup?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#syrup</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/clearIce?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#clearIce</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/float?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#float</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drinkstodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drinkstodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fedithirst?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fedithirst</a>

Chris RuppelNEGRONI BIANCO BERGAMOTTO — 1 part Italicus 1 part dry vermouth 1 part gin — Garnish: green olives Method: Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass, add ice, and stir. Strain over a big rock and garnish with green olives on a cocktail spear. — 🔗 <a href="https://potentpotables.app/drinks/negroni-bianco-bergamotto/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://potentpotables.app/drinks/negroni-bianco-bergamotto/</a> — I saw this one from <a class="u-url" href="https://pixelfed.social/@t1m_kirkland@instagram.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@t1m_kirkland@instagram.com</a> and had been meaning to make it for a while! Had to cut a new batch of clear ice first, though. As Negronis go it's a smooth affair with very little bitter flavor. Crushable, as they say. Also I gotta shout-out to my local farmer's market for the amazing olives: one is pimento, the other blanched almond with garlic mince. — <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/alcohol?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alcohol</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktail?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktail</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktails?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktails</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/negroni?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#negroni</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/negroniTwist?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#negroniTwist</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/negroniRiff?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#negroniRiff</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gin?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gin</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bianco?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bianco</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/vermouth?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vermouth</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/italicus?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#italicus</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bergamotte?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bergamotte</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/amaro?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amaro</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/olive?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#olive</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/clearice?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#clearice</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/homeBar?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeBar</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mixology?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mixology</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fedithirst?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fedithirst</a>
