Burning Passion Gin and Tonic

It is Friday, a dull, grey and chill Friday, and if you fancy something to warm you up, you can mix a cocktail. Not your first thought perhaps, but this Burning Passion Gin and Tonic --I am very partial to G&Ts, and often like sprucing them up with different flavours, today I’m spicing it up!-- will do just as well, perhaps better, than a cup of piping hot tea! It is also an excellent cocktail to mix if you are in good company... Happy Friday!

Ingredients (serves 1):

1 large, ripe passion fruit

a small lime

60 millilitres/2 fluid ounces (4 tablespoons) London Dry Gin

2 large ice cubes

200 millilitres/7 fluid ounces chilled good tonic water (like Fever Tree)

top half of a just ripe Habanero chili pepper

Halve passion fruit, and scoop its pulp out into a shaker.

Cut two beautiful slices in the lime, and thoroughly squeeze its juice into the shaker. Add London Dry Gin.

Place ice cubes in serving glass. Add lime slices.

Thoroughly shake the Gin, passion fruit and lime juice. Double strain over the ice, and top with chilled tonic water.

Finally, garnish with Habanero chili pepper top half. The longer you leave it and swirl it into the cocktail, the spicier it will be!

Enjoy Burning Passion Gin and Tonic immediately. Cheers!

A Gin Cocktail Recipe Book

🍸🍹

Most of the recipes came from the BBC Good Food website.

Well, I have to believe that the British know how to make a good martini right? Although I hear that Mr. Bond had been getting it wrong for many years (stirred is better than shaken, apparently).

@antique-symbolism BEARING IN MIND that the ones I've invented or heavily modified are still works in progress... :D

Melliwyk's Nightcap

- 1.5oz brandy - 1oz white creme de cacao - 2oz whole milk - 2 drops purple food coloring - 1 dash lavender bitters - about 1oz heavy cream - pocky

Shake all ingredients except cream together with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Float a layer of whipping cream on top and garnish with a stick of chocolate pocky.

NOTES: Melliwyk likes brandy (when she drinks at all), a brandy alexander is sometimes considered a nightcap, and lavender-- well known as a sleep aid-- is among her many nicknames :D I wanted so badly for this one to be natively purple but I just couldn't do it, and unfortunately 'visually evoking Mel's actual nightcap' is part of the point, so, food coloring it is :') I originally did this with lavender syrup (I don't think I measured it; I wrote down 'a barspoon' but I just poured An Amount lol)-- I think the extra sweetness was nice, but on the other hand the lavender syrup did bring a kind of cloying lavender perfume flavor that the bitters avoids? I've thought about adding back simple syrup but I don't want it to get TOO unwieldy with too many ingredients 🤔 Also I've tinkered around a lot with the base but a standard brandy alexander just uses heavy cream straight up, and I think that actually might split into a (mostly) white foam layer anyway once it's shaken so I might try returning to that next and see how it works out. Also I thought the pocky would be just a fun lil bit of extra visual flair BUT it turns out the chocolate scent really adds a lot to the experience!

Presto!

5oz strawberry lemonade

1oz UV Blue Raspberry Vodka

0.5oz grenadine

1/4tsp purple luster dust

Starfruit

Stir ingredients together with ice. Garnish with a slice of starfruit and drink with a curly straw.

NOTES: The infuriating thing about this one is that I found it by googling 'purple cocktails', went out of my way to buy the blue liquor and grenadine, and then found out it's only purple because of the huge amount of purple food glitter (I wanted to add just a little hit of gold glitter instead but it looked a) not purple and b) really bad). BUT-- the flavor profile is exactly perfect-- bright, sweet, and snappy-- and WITH the luster dust, so is the aesthetic 🤔 This one needs tinkering. I think I could probably get it natively purple with just a little bit of blue caracao, without changing the flavor profile too much. I ALSO realized that obviously this one actually should be fizzy, so I'm wondering about adding a sprite or a club soda, or whether carbonated strawberry lemonade is a thing or...?

Goodberry

1oz raspberry syrup

0.5oz lime juice

2oz gin

2oz tonic

fresh raspberries

Gold luster dust (optional)

Shake syrup, lime juice, luster dust, and gin with ice. Strain into a glass with raspberries and fresh ice. Top with tonic.

NOTES: Gin derives its flavor from juniper berries, and the gin and tonic was invented for medicinal purposes; this raspberry g&t also ends up being the exact shade of pink that I've drawn goodberries, which are a little infamous in Juniper's campaign as being hated by Fengling, haha. IN THEORY I want this to be garnished with a sugared raspberry but in practice raspberries go soft about twelve seconds after buying them so I've never actually had a chance to do that, but I think it'd be cute :3 (to be honest the raspberries mixed in are also essentially garnish and I've made this a lot without them because we never have raspberries in the house, you don't really need em, they're just nice). Speaking of gin, I've also done a lavender earl grey gin cocktail in the past that I've always lowkey associated with Juniper as well, but I dunno how to make that as ~thematic~ aside from 'it just feels right,' lol. iirc that one is essentially just earl grey iced tea, lemon juice, gin, and I think lavender syrup-- I don't have an exact recipe cause I haven't made it in awhile but 10/10 would recommend

The Druidcraft comes from this post, EXCEPT that the original recipe calls for honey, but actually you have got to do a honey syrup instead or it just won't mix properly (I have a bottle made up, but it's really easy to just like. stick some honey and some hot water in a little cup and mix them together for a small amount). It's really nice! I also add a lil gold shimmer to this one, because I'm a nerd and it's ~magical~

By the way, these have all spiraled out of me thinking about the tavern themed home bar/ game room we want to build in the basement, and specifically thinking about how it'd be fun to invent a healing potion cocktail, which... I have still not done, lmao :'D I actually want it to be a shooter (you can down a potion as an action, after all), and the problemmm is that I'm a chronic overthinker; lots of drinks are red, it would be pretty easy to throw together something that's red, but I can't decide what kind of flavor profile I want it to actually have 🤔

god I wish I had a good camera and somewhere with good lighting to take pics of the dumb dnd cocktails I've modified/ invented

More Writing Notes: Cocktails

Traditionally, a cocktail (or a mixed drink) is a beverage that contains a mixture of alcoholic spirits combined with other ingredients, such as simple syrups, tonics, bitters, fruit juice, club soda, or other fizzy waters.

Today you can also find a variety of nonalcoholic spritz cocktails that combine alcohol-free spirits with mixer ingredients.

6 Mixology Tools

Bar spoon: long-handled spoon that makes it easy to stir drinks in tall glasses or pitchers.

Citrus juicer: extracts juice from citrus fruits and vegetables by shredding the flesh of the food item.

Cocktail glasses: there are several different shapes of cocktail glasses, and each corresponds to a different type of mixed drink.

Cocktail shaker: A shaker is a tall container (usually metal) that makes it easy for bartenders to shake crushed ice and cocktail ingredients together to quickly cool down the beverage.

Cocktail strainer: The strainer fits over the shaker and lets you pour the cocktail into the glass while leaving behind the ice and any other ingredients, like herbs, that you used to shake the cocktail.

Muddler: When a cocktail recipe includes directions to muddle ingredients, usually fruit or herbs, it means to smash them to release the essential oils and fruit pulp. A muddler is a small handheld rod that lets you easily muddle ingredients in a cocktail glass.

Some Popular Cocktails

Bloody Mary: This classic brunch cocktail contains vodka mixed with tomato juice, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and a combination of herbs and spices. Bartenders typically serve a Bloody Mary in a tall glass, such as a pint glass or highball glass, and garnish with a celery stick.

Daiquiri: One of the classic rum cocktails, a daiquiri contains rum (white rum or Cuban rum), lime juice, and simple syrup. Today’s drink menus typically contain a variety of daiquiris that range from classic cocktails like the Hemingway Daiquiri (which contains lime juice, grapefruit juice, and Italian maraschino liqueur) to fruity cocktails like a shaken strawberry daiquiri.

Gimlet: Contains three ingredients: vodka (or gin), fresh lime juice, a splash of simple syrup for added sweetness, and an optional lime wedge for garnish.

Manhattan: Containing whiskey (or sometimes cognac), sweet vermouth, and a few dashes of bitters, the Manhattan is a simple yet elegant cocktail. The classic cocktail, which was invented in New York, is stirred, not shaken, and garnished with a maraschino cherry.

Margarita: There are several variations of margarita recipes. The classic margarita is served over ice cubes and contains lime juice, tequila (or mezcal), orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or triple sec), and lime and salt for the garnish. Experiment with other flavors—use lemon juice instead of lime, add a dash of agave syrup to sweeten the drink, or add a hint of spice with the addition of a few slices of jalapeño. For those who prefer fruit flavors, try making a watermelon, pomegranate, or strawberry margarita.

Martini: The classic martini is a boozy cocktail. The original contained three parts gin to one part vermouth with an olive or onion to garnish. A vodka martini calls for vodka in place of gin. Other drinks—such as an espresso martini, fruity drinks, or vodka cocktails like a cosmopolitan (often called a Cosmo), pear, or apple martini (also called an appletini)—are not considered martinis. Instead, they get their name from the cocktail glass.

Mint julep: Famous as the refreshing cocktail served at the Kentucky Derby horse racing events, a mint julep contains bourbon, simple syrup, and a muddle of mint. It’s typically served over crushed ice with a sprig of mint leaves.

Mojito: A highball cocktail with origins in Cuba, the mojito is a popular cocktail across the globe. Mix up white rum, sugar, mint, lime, and club soda (or soda water), and then add ice. The mojito is often called a perfect summer cocktail.

Moscow mule: Contrary to its name, the Moscow mule cocktail likely originated in New York, not the Russian capital. To make the fizzy drink combine vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice, and garnish with lime slices and sprigs of mint. It’s usually served in a copper mug, though food experts note the copper does not impact the flavor of the drink.

Negroni: With its balance of sweet and bitter, a classic Negroni is an ideal apéritif. Combine equal parts gin, Campari (or Aperol), and sweet vermouth. Shake them with ice and serve the drink with an orange twist. Other varieties of Negronis add additional layers of flavors using ingredients such as orange bitters, Champagne or prosecco, and a lime or lemon twist.

Piña colada: This favorite summer cocktail, which reportedly originated in San Juan, Puerto Rico, is traditionally made with white rum, pineapple juice, cream of coconut, and a squeeze of lime juice, and served with fresh pineapple for garnish. Blend the ingredients with ice cubes to create a slushie drink.

Tequila Sunrise: With only three ingredients, fresh orange juice, tequila, and grenadine syrup, the Tequila Sunrise tastes best when you use high-quality ingredients. White tequila is recommended for a fresher taste and a more vibrant color. You can make a variation of the cocktail called the Coconut Sunrise, which uses coconut rum instead of tequila.
