And here it is, folks
Our original 2021 FOOL’S PARADISE HOLIDAY DRINK
ICE STATION REINDEER
Ingredients:
1 oz pineapple juice
1/2 oz grapefruit juice
1/2 oz Noilly Prat rouge vermouth (or similar quinine-forward sweet red vermouth)
1 barspoon absinthe
1 barspoon agave syrup
1 egg white
a few drops of Bitter Truth Jerry Thomas Bitters
tiny pinch of salt
Garnishes:
grapefruit peel
In advance:
Squeeze grapefruit juice
Separate an egg (Reserve the yolk for challah or babka or any other use)
When you're ready to go:
Add ice.
Shake shake shake the drink in a Boston shaker (the two-piece thingy) and strain. A reverse shake is recommended to best fluff up your meringue.
Pour the mixture into your pre-chilled glass or glasses. With a dropper or a small spoon, top the foam with a few decorative drops of Angostura bitters. Squeeze a piece of grapefruit peel over the glass to express the fragrant oils; twist the peel into the drink, and serve.
And to all a good night!
