Liquid Kitchen by Kyle Branche / [email protected] Liquid Lingerie No navel shots here, but definitely some long-legged drinks Between the Sheets is a shake-and-strain drink that goes in a chilled cocktail glass, getting ¾ oz each of the following: Beefeater gin, Bacardi white rum, Cointreau and lemon juice. Strain in and garnish with a twist of lemon peel. A stir-and-strain drink, the Crystal Slipper Cocktail also goes in a chilled cocktail glass. Starting off with 1½ oz Bombay Sapphire gin, ½ oz Bols blue curaçao and 2 dashes of Fee Brothers orange bitters. No garnish necessary. Add your own words and thoughts to go along with each of these seductive gems, for you’ll never be so happy as when one of these get slipped between your lips. A drink similar to another cocktail except for the measurements, Silky Red Panties is a shot chilled and strained with ¾ oz vodka, ½ oz Dekuyper Peachtree schnapps and ¼ oz cranberry juice. Make enough for a few shots while you’re at it! Add a splash of Grand Marnier to the ice in the shaker, then rinse through and strain out. Then add 2 oz Tanqueray Sterling vodka and chill and strain in a cocktail glass. Garnish with a twist of orange peel. There you have it—L’Orangerie. This next tall drink goes in a dark-stemmed Martini glass. In a shaker add 2 oz Van Gogh Dutch chocolate vodka with ¾ oz Chambord black raspberry liqueur and ¾ oz Godiva white chocolate liqueur. Shake till cold, then strain into the glass. Garnish with 2 chocolate legs. Yummy. There’s nothing quite like a Black Stockings Martini. The Nightie Lifter goes in a rocks glass filled with cubed or cracked ice and is a shake-and-strain over ice drink. Add 1½ oz Maker’s Mark bourbon, ¾ oz Hiram Walker blackberry brandy and 1 teaspoon of Arrow peach schnapps. Garnish with a cherry. A summery bathing suit type of drink, or what was left of it anyway. Skinny Dippin’ goes in a tumbler filled with cracked ice and gets 1½ oz Belvedere vodka, ½ oz Amaretto DiSaronno, ½ oz Bols peach schnapps and a splash of Ocean Spray cranberry juice. Garnish with a slice of fresh peach. A shake-and-strain cocktail, My Dirty Girlfriend always ends up in chilled Martini glass. Begin by pouring 1½ oz Ketel One Citroen vodka, ¾ oz Tuaca, a pinch of sugar, the juice of ½ a squeezed lemon and a splash of cranberry juice. Strain in and drip a stream of Midori to the bottom of the glass. Garnish . . . well, she is the garnish. Stir and strain this next drink in a cocktail glass. In a shaker of ice, pour ¾ oz each of the following: Ouzo, Marie Brizard Parfait Amour liqueur and the ever-herbal Green Chartreuse. Open your mind to the Blue Negligee and allow this palate conundrum to tease the senses. Pour the Strawberry Stripper in a short Collins glass filled with cracked ice. Start with 1½ oz strawberry schnapps of your choice, close to fill with cold orange juice and top with a dash of cold cream. Garnish with a slice of fresh strawberry. A little old-fashioned, but I like that style. This could be a late-night drink or a midmorning waker-upper. The Velvet Dress is a shake-and-pour-over-ice drink going in an Old Fashioned glass filled with cubed or cracked ice. Start with ¾ oz Korbel brandy, 1 oz Kahlúa, ¾ oz Dekuyper triple sec and end with 2 oz of cream. Good night . . . or good morning! 20 / the tasting panel / september 2007 TP0907_001-31.indd 20 8/27/07 12:31:17 AM
