  • Mississippi Mule Cocktail 2 Ways Gin & Cassis Cocktail Recipe - Not sure where this recipe gets its name from... but it isn't related to the more famous Moscow Mule. So what is a Mississippi mule, beyond hard to spell?
    Ingredients:
    1 1/3 oz dry gin
    1/3 oz crème de cassis
    1/3 oz lemon juice
    Method:
    Shake with ice, and strain into a cocktail glass.

    Beefeater is probably the best mass market/generic gin, I always keep a bottle at home. Tanqueray No. 10 is very good as a higher proof option. I'm personally very partial to Malfy, specifically the lemon and grapefruit varieties. The lemon is great in a negroni while the grapefruit is excellent in a G&T.

  • @k213389
    @k213389 4 роки тому +2

    My favorite gin is Hendrick's. Apparently they use roses to flavor it which gives it a slightly floral, aromatic quality. Goes great with St Germain and a splash of sparkling wine, or in a French 75.

    Hi Glen ;) If you like Cassis, you should try some of the simpliest french cocktails: Le Kir et le Kir Royal.
    It's actually a mix of creme de cassis and white whine or champagne (for the kir royal). Fun Fact: Cassis (In France we rarely say the "creme de") is mainly produce in Burgundy (Bourgogne) in Dijon (just like the mustard) Enjoy ^^

    I love gin. I was in Amsterdam once and bought a bottle of gin distilled from it's original recipe. It was the strongest gin I've ever tasted.
    I'm sure you could get the Dillon's gin at Total Wine or Bevmo.
    One of my favorite gins is Tann's. It has a wonderful springtime botanical flavor with cucumber being in it's profile. A gin and tonic made with that gin, tonic, a thin dice of cucumber, a splash of cucumber soda, or lavender soda, and garnished with dried lavender, or better yet lavender bitters. It's great for that winter is over springtime is here taste.
    There is a video of Heston Blumenthal making a gin and tonic. Don't worry, one can actually make that recipe without needing a laboratory or spending a fortune.
    I also like Cassis. It's great in champagne. A Kir Royale.
    I was wondering if you ever heard of Butterfly Pea? It's a flower from Thailand. People make drinks with it. You use it like you would tea. In fact it's called Butterfly Pea tea. It's wonderful on a hot day when you want to drink something that's not just water, or a soda. It's good for your hair and skin. It also has a blue color. However if you put any kind of acid in it, it turns a gorgeous violet color. I'll drink it with some club soda, or tonic, or seltzer. Or ginger ale, white wine, or champagne. You can buy it on Amazon. You should try it sometime. It's basically a small dried deep blue colored flower.

    Beefeater is a favourite of mine because I think it has a good balance between the juniper and the citrus. It's a good all-round gin. Also there is no relation between the Mississippi Mule and the Moscow Mule, because the category of drink that the Moscow Mule exists in is called a Buck. So a Moscow Mule is really a Vodka Buck. Mule was never to my knowledge a drink category.
    I cannot say how the Beefeater generally behavies in cocktails with lemon juice, such as a White Lady for example. I have a very low tolerance for the sourness of citric acid, so I do not drink cocktail with lemon juice in them unless it's in something like a Bloody Mary or Tom Collins.

    This drink is right up my alley! Thanks! I do have a bottle of Crème de Cassis, and I use it somewhat regularly. It does go nicely with gin for me. My gin preference is to have more than one in the house, but our default choice is to have a bottle of Hendrick's (which has notes of cucumber and rose, and less juniper than some other gins). We often also have samples of locally-distilled gins from Minneapolis (from Lawless or Dampfwerk).

    I enjoy gin. I've tried a number of them, and I have an extra bottle hanging out in one of my cupboards that I haven't gotten to yet. So far, my favourite gin is "Big Gin" from Captive Spirits in Seattle, but I don't think that's distributed very widely right now. For a basic, inexpensive gin, I usually choose Boodles. It's not complex, there's nothing insanely special about it, just a simple and straightforward gin that makes a decent G&T.
    I have tried Aviation, which I don't like, because it leans into an anise flavour I don't like.
