If you have followed me for only 1 minute you have likely seen a recipe for a cocktail around. I don't know what it is, but I love experimenting with flavors in the form of cocktails. I like a good drink too, so I bet that helps!
In the last post Margot and I sampled several local meads and shared our reviews. While I was sampling I of course I got to thinking about the cocktail possibilities and openly hoped I wouldn't have angry thoughts sent my way to the makers. Here is what I came up with.
The Yellowjacket
3 oz Moonlight Meadery Madagascar Mead
1 oz hand-infused vanilla vodka
1 oz hand-infused ginger liqueur
3/4 oz ginger/lemon syrup (Meyer lemons)
Combine, shake with ice, strain and serve.
The honey flavor comes through quite well and the rest of the flavors play nice with each other. I'll be making more of these!
Sweet Tooth Sidecar
5 oz Isaaks of Salem Sweet Tooth Mead
2 oz VSOP Brandy
1 oz Triple Sec
1/2 oz ginger/lemon syrup
1/2 oz lemon juice
This is a twist on a classic Sidecar and it really does work. The mead adds complexity and sweetness that make the drink pop.
Cheers!
Jason
