#cocktail with grapefruit

[acocktailmoment]

Kingston Zing !

Ingredients:

Serving: 1

1/2 ounce grapefruit punch syrup (see Editor’s Note)

3/8 ounce strained lime juice (if 3/8 ounce breaks your brain, think of it as a light 1/2 ounce)

6 drops Bittermens Hopped Grapefruit bitters

5 drops salt solution (4:1, water to salt)

1 1/2 ounces Wray & Nephew overproof rum, chilled in the freezer

soda water, to top

Garnish: channeled lime twist (a thin ribbon peeled with a channel knife), grapefruit slice.

Directions:

Combine the first five ingredients in a shaker tin. Whisk with a milk frother (or stir briskly until combined) and set aside.

Fill a chilled 12-ounce highball glass with small ice cubes. Add the soda until the glass is three-quarters full.

Pour the contents of the shaker into the glass while holding the glass at a 45-degree angle. Top with soda until the glass is full.

Agitate the mixture with a single brisk dip of a bar spoon.

Garnish with the channeled lime twist and a grapefruit slice.

Editor’s Note:

Grapefruit Punch Syrup:

63 grams (2 1/4 ounces) grapefruit oleo saccharum (grapefruit peel and white sugar) 250 grams (8 3/4 ounces) strained grapefruit juice, preferably white 173 grams (about 6 ounces) white sugar 3 grams (about 1/2 teaspoon) citric acid

1. Make an oleo saccharum by placing 250 grams grapefruit peel (about 1 1/4 cups) and 250 grams white sugar (about 1 1/4 cups) in a resealable bag. Let the bag sit in the refrigerator for 48 hours. Once the sugar has dissolved completely, remove and discard the peels. Store in a resealable container and refrigerate. Will keep for 1 week in the refrigerator. Makes around 8 ounces.

2. Combine the juice and 63 grams (2 1/4 ounces) of the oleo saccharum in a blender and mix at a low speed. Slowly add the sugar, followed by the citric acid. Blend until the sugar is fully dissolved.

3. Bottle and refrigerate for at least 24 hours and up to 2 weeks. Makes 12 ounces.

Greyhound

The Greyhound is a very simple, but delightful little cocktail, especially if you're, like me, rather keen on gin! If you order it at a bar, you might want to specify you want gin though, and not vodka (unless you do want vodka), as it is often made with the latter, too! But the original version, the one created by Harry Craddock , mixologist extraordinaire, at The Savoy in the 1930s, was made with gin as the poison! This, and freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, give it a nice kick, and a little shot of Vitamin C alongside the spirit, and when it rains ceaselessly outside, both are welcome! Happy Friday!

Ingredients (serves 1):

6 ice cubes

45 millilitres/1 1/2 fluid ounces good quality London Dry Gin

1/2 ripe pink grapefruit

1 lime wheel

Fill a rocks glass with ice cubes.

Pour Gin over the ice.

Thoroughly squeeze the juice of the grapefruit halve, and strain into the glass.

Give a gentle stir with a spoon. Garnish with lime wheel.

Enjoy Greyhound immediately.

World Cocktail Day 

Host or attend a cocktail party and try out some new flavors, or perfect your hand at mixing any number of drinks, from a White Russian to a classic Cosmo.

“No party is complete without cocktails! My friends all have different tastes when it comes to their drink of choice, so I like to maintain a well-stocked bar with different kinds of alcohol to keep everyone happy.” ~Khloe Kardashian

One of the best ways people get together and bond over life is through drinking. For a fun night out, cocktails provide a wide arrangement of scents and flavors to keep everything exciting and have a long history of becoming a steady staple in people’s lives. So, let us dive right in and see what World Cocktail Day is all about.

History of World Cocktail Day

In 1806, The Balance and Columbian Repository coined the term “cocktail” as a stimulating liquor with a wide variety of sweets, waters, and bitters. Originally, the Oxford English Dictionary defined the term with a different set of connotations, describing it as a horse with a tail like a cock’s, with its tail cocked up instead of hung down.

Cocktails as a drink, however, started as a British invention in the 19th century and has since become an American innovation when a Connecticut-born bartender Jerry Thomas wrote the book “The Bartender’s Guide.” The Bartender’s Guide basically broadcasted an encyclopedia of how to mix drinks and recipes on some of the best combinations of drinks and flavors.

During the 1920s American prohibition, many cocktails were mixed into existence that remain firm favorites today. With not much high-quality alcohol available, cocktails were the perfect way to make that smuggled rum, gin or whiskey just a little bit more drinkable. Enter the cocktail; rum mojitos, the Sidecar, and the Tom Collins all flourished at a time when recreational alcohol wasn’t legal.

The ‘Bee’s Knees’ cocktail was actually created to mask and sweeten the taste of illegally brewed bathtub gin. The roaring twenties took the cocktail and shook it up into some of our most popular modern-day cocktails. Drinking didn’t stop during the prohibition, people simply went underground. Many illegal speakeasies popped up, serving cocktails in jazz-style locales.

Post-prohibition saw the invention of drinks that still grace the pages of your favorite cocktail bar menus. 1954 saw the mixing of the Pina Colada in Puerto Rico when Ramon Marrero created the delicious pineapple treat at the Caribe Hilton hotel. 1988 saw the much-loved Cosmopolitan enter our lives, thanks to Toby Cecchini and his desire to share a drink with his fellow bartenders in San Francisco.

A constant throughout the cocktail era in America was the Rainbow Room. Opened after the prohibition in 1934, the Rainbow Room was a high-end club where New York A-listers could celebrate in style with post-prohibition cocktails. The Rainbow Room was revived and renovated in different forms over the years, being closed during WWII and for various restorations.

The 1987 reopening saw emerging mixologist Dale DeGroff create a pre-prohibition list of cocktails that revived some firm favorites and spearheaded the modern cocktail mixing revolution that made the cocktail bar increasingly popular.

The holiday itself is held annually by Drinkaware, a United Kingdom-based charity that brings awareness to the effects of drinking and aims to reduce the harm that drinking can have on people and families. The website provides facts and information about drinking, alcohol poisoning, and alcohol abuse. The World Cocktail Day page that Drinkaware hosts have events all over the world that you can partake in, a blog you can follow about your favorite recipes, and how you can drink safely while also having fun.

How to Celebrate World Cocktail Day

If you’re up for a night of fun drinking, then host a party at your place and mix up some of your favorite drinks for your friends. If you want to spice things up, check out a new recipe on some of your favorite blogs or newsletters, and make your kitchen or bar into an experiment place for you and your friends.

If you’re feeling confident, you could create your own home bar and serve some of your favorite fizz-fuelled cocktails, or make your own cocktail creations with a fresh twist. Give your bar a theme and add your own unique names to your new mixers. Treat yourself to a cocktail bible and teach yourself how to make the perfect passionfruit martini or rope in your own bartender friend for some mixology advice.

If you are creating your own home bar and are jumping in as a novice bartender, you could start with a classy cosmopolitan or cheeky sex on the beach. Why not take a theme to a whole new level and take your new bar theme to a party level. Whether you’re making a sneaky speakeasy or a chic cocktail bar, making it your own is the perfect way to celebrate World Cocktail Day.

You could even avoid doing the work yourself and enroll in a cocktail class for you and your friends. Learn from the best shakers and master mixologists. Don’t want to leave the house? Why not use an online video or order a beginner’s pack right to your door. Or splash out on an inhouse mixing masterclass (calling all bartender friends again).

You might be more of a cocktail connoisseur than a master mixologist. Why not get some of the good stuff mixed for you, so you can sample some delightful cocktails without having to actually make them yourself. Put on a cocktail-themed film, sip your mojito and feel like you’re in the summer sun.

Grapefruit mimosas are a quick, easy delicious brunch drink for festive occasions. The easy honey thyme simple syrup gives the grapefruit juice cocktail a sweet herbal note that elevates this libation.
