Hello Hello! I am feeling PARTICULARLY lazy tonight, so strap in kiddos, I've got a fun one. It's called a Scofflaw, after the Frenchmen who would drink it during the American Prohibition (I spit on its name), and its delicious.
(I'm posting without photos, i'll get them from Joe tomorrow. I'M SORRY!)
1 1/2 ounces rye whiskey
1 ounce white vermouth (French, not dry. There is a difference)
3/4 ounce grenadine (make it yourself, its super easy)
3/4 ounce lemon juice (if you aren't squeezing it yourself you aren't the person I thought you were and we can't be friends anymore)
Right lets start at the top. If you are new to whiskey, just get Crown Royal for this recipe. If you like whiskey but aren't too keen on the specifics, I'd highly recommend Redemption Rye or Bulleit Rye. If you are into Whiskey and up on specifics, do as you damn well please. As for vermouth, I like Dolin Vermouth Blanc. In the States mostly what you will find is sweet or dry vermouth. Both have their places (negroni's and martini's, respectively), but are to be keenly disassociated from white vermouth. Its worth tracking down, try BevMo. Next up is grenadine. Do us a favor, go to your cupboard, grab that neon red bottle of Roses and just throw it away. We do this shit LIVE! Surprise double recipe WHAAAT?
2 cups pomegranate juice (I use plain Pom because its available, use the best available)
2 cups sugar
Go ahead and put those two in a small sauce pan on the stove, bring to a slow simmer, let that work for ten minutes. Let cool, bottle with a jigger of vodka or gin and you've got yourself a grenadine.
Next grab your favorite cocktail shaker, add ice and all the ingredients, then shake for a good 30 seconds. Strain and serve over ice in a cocktail glass.
Just an FYI, this post has not been proof red. DEAL WITH IT.
