Pisco sour

2oz pisco

1oz lemon juice

3 sugar cubes

1oz Aquafaba

Angostura bitters

Ice

As most of you wonderful listeners know, I strive to make all of our drinks vegan. So for this pisco sour I used aquafaba instead of an egg white. If you would like to go with a more traditional taste by all means please use the egg white.

To make my awuafaba I took the liquid from a can of chickpeas in place of egg whites. Once you shake it, it doesn’t taste like chickpeas. I promise. It basically becomes tasteless foam

Take 1 ounce of your chickpea liquid and shake it in your shaker by itself for 30 seconds

Add in the rest of your ingredients and shake thoroughly for an additional minute to create that frothy foam on top. You’re going to want to wrap a dish towel around your shaker, it’s going to get almost unbearably cold if you have a metal shaker like I do.

Strain into your awaiting glass, I used a coup because I think it looks classy

Garnish with a dash of angostura bitters

1 1/2 oz Hendricks Summer Solstice Gin

1 oz passion fruit juice

2 oz pineapple/mango juice

3-4 pieces of frozen dragon fruit

1/2 oz butterfly tea

Ice

Combine all ingredients into a shaker and shake together until fully combined

Pour into your glass

For the fog effect I used dry ice and slotted cups, if you don’t have these cups please don’t use dry ice

Enjoy!

2 oz bourbon whiskey

1/2 oz orange syrup

1 cherry

1 candied orange slice

2oz ginger ale

To candy your own oranges you’ll want to take one orange sliced into thin rounds.

Combine 2 cups sugar and 1 cup water and the juice of 1 orange in a medium size saucepan. Stir until fully incorporated and bring to a simmer. Once you have a simmer going lay the orange slices into your sugar water. Make sure not to over crowd your oranges.

Allow to simmer for 90 minutes

Remove candied oranges and leave on a wire rack to dry

Pour your delicious orange syrup into a heat safe container and allow to cool down

Combine all ingredients into a whiskey glass and stir to combine

Top off with candied orange slice and cherry

Enjoy!

Kool-Aid Sour snappin’ green apple

Lemonade

2oz vodka

1/2oz simple syrup

Thinly sliced lemon

Lemonade

The juice of 8 lemons

8 cups water

1 cup sugar

Ice

Combine and adjust to taste, I wanted mine a little tart

Kool-Aid

I followed the recipe on the container except I used lemonade instead of water. For 8 cups of lemonade you would fill to the 2 quarts line inside the lid of the Kool-Aid container

For the lemon slices garnish you’ll want them as thin as possible so they’ll stick to the sides of your cup. I used the back of a bar spoon to mold them to the shape of the cup

Jim Jones Punch

Combine in a shaker

4 oz kool-aid

2 oz vodka

1/2 oz simple syrup

Ice

Shake together and carefully pour into glass, you might lose a lemon slice if you pour to quickly

Enjoy!
