BODEGA DOG COCKTAIL Recipe

The classic cocktail of Gin and grapefruit is called a Greyhound. Add a salt rim and it’s a Salty Dog. Mess it up with grapefruit beer and spicy seasoning salt and you get a Bodega Dog.

  3. Garnish with a slice of grapefruit.

NOTES

Schöfferhofer is a German beer brand. The Hofbierbrauerei Schöfferhof was a brewery based in Mainz, Germany. In 1921, however, the Schöfferhof brewery merged with the Binding breweries and the Frankfurt Bürgerbrauerei to form Schöfferhof-Binding-Bürgerbräu AG. Today Schöfferhofer is a brand of the Binding Brewery and therefore part of the Radeberger Group.

DAMN IT JIMMY COCKTAIL Recipe

In 2008, the bartender was playing around with Sake at the Cabinet Room in London and so the Damn It Jimmy cocktail was born. He himself calls it “probably the best drink he has developed” and, as he was thinking what to call the cocktail, the track he was listening to ended and the singer exclaimed, “Damn it Jimmy” to his fellow artists, expressing how good the track was. The cocktail was named!

  • 45 ml/ 1 ½ oz. light Rum

Old Cuban Cocktail Recipe

No Comments
OLD CUBAN COCKTAIL Recipe

The Old Cuban cocktail is a Rum, lime, mint and Champagne cocktail. It is considered a refined short drink variant of the classic and popular long drink Mojito (white Rum, lime, mint, sugar, sparkling water), as it is infused with Champagne instead of soda water. In contrast to the Mojito, however, it is not white Rum that is used, but rather dark, mature Rum, which is served in a cocktail or champagne glass along with additional Angostura bitters.

INGREDIENTS

  • 45 ml/ 1 ½ oz. aged Rum
  • 22,5 ml/ ¾ oz. freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 30 ml/ 1 oz. simple syrup
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • 60 ml/ 2 oz. Brut Champagne or Prosecco
  • 6 – 8 mint leaves

METHOD

  1. Pour all ingredients into cocktail shaker, except the Champagne.
  2. Add ice and shake well.
  3. Fine strain into chilled glass.
  4. Top with Champagne.
  5. Garnish with mint sprigs.

NOTES

The Old Cuban is one of the few well-known cocktails whose history of origin is understandable and undisputed, because the recipe was only published in 2002. It was created by bartender Audrey Saunders, who has been running the New York bar Pegu Club since 2005. A little later, the drink could be found on bar menus worldwide and, at least in Germany, is one of the top sellers in upscale bars. The drink is “extremely tasty and incredibly fresh”, and whoever drinks one usually has more to follow, according to several bartenders.
