Applerac

by with No Comment Whiskey Recipes

A Seven Jars Special Recipe

Made with Seven Jars Apple Pie Whiskey, the Applerac is a flavorful variation on the classic Sazerac that will appeal to a wide variety of tastes. For those who don’t prefer the more spicy, peppery flavor of the Rye in the classic Sazerac, this version will prove to be a welcome change. The cocktail is prepared exactly the same, the only difference is the substitution of the whiskey used.

Sazerac

by with No Comment Whiskey Recipes

A Seven Jars Special Recipe

Use Seven Jars Preamble Rye Whiskey to create what is TRULY an American classic cocktail that a lot of people have never tried. The Sazerac originated in New Orleans, and the classic Sazerac is unique in that it uses Peychaud’s bitters – you’ll notice otherwise some similarities to an Old Fashioned in this cocktail. These bitters were created by Antoine Peychaud, a French Quarter pharmacist (who knew pharmacists played such a key role in creating great cocktails!) As an interesting side note, the Sazerac was originally made with cognac, but after a cognac shortage many bartenders switched to the more readily available Rye whiskey. This modification proved so popular that even after cognac became widely available, the spirit of choice for Sazerac remained Rye.

  1. In this instance, the Bootlegger's version is a simple addition - fresh blueberries. Be sure to muddle the mint first with the sugar and water then add the blueberries. The idea is to squeeze the juice from the blueberries but not grind them to a pulp.

Mint Julep

A Seven Jars Special Recipe

Frank and Velma both loved horse racing and any list of “Classic” cocktails in their book would not be complete without this thoroughbred! There are several secrets to the classic Mint Julep that you need to know: First, muddle the mint gently, don’t rip it to shreds. Second, cracked (or even shaved) ice is a must – cubes are a no-no. Finally, if you use sugar cubes, be sure to take the time to meld them thoroughly with the mint before adding the bourbon – you want the sugar fully dissolved!

Banana Daiquiri

by with No Comment Rum Recipes

A Seven Jars Special Recipe

Daiquiri Okay, here is one instance where the Bootlegger’s Version truly differs from the classic cocktail in a big way. We still use our elite Seven Jars Rum, but we also break down and use a blender. The original recipe calls for mashing a banana, adding shaved ice and the other ingredients; while you can certainly still do that, virtually everyone has a blender these days, so why not take advantage of it? You will note that this is actually a close cousin to the Pina Colada, but instead of pineapple juice this one uses lime juice, keeping it in the Daiquiri family.

Instructions
  1. Add all of the ingredients into a blender. Fill approximately 1/2 way with ice. Blend until smooth, usually about 1 minute. Pour into a tall highball glass and serve. The amount of ice you use will actually dictate how much of and end product you create; if you fill the blender all the way up with ice, be sure to double the ingredients.
Recipe Notes

SIDE BAR:

We have a truly  FANTASTIC recipe for a Banana Rum.  Like all of our products, the banana rum recipe uses real fruit (in this instance bananas, obviously); but real fruit provides a challenge.  It absorbs the alcohol, making the end product much lower proof.  There are ways around this, but in the instance of banana flavor there is one major impediment:  you cannot juice a banana.  The banana rum recipe left to us is outstanding, BUT we have not been able to reproduce the flavor, keep the proof where we want it AND not have a good bit of the banana pulp in the rum; so keep in mind that we are still working on this one.  In the meantime, this banana daiquiri recipe should hold you banana lovers over.

A Seven Jars Special Recipe

Daiquiri A Daiquiri is one of the easiest drinks to make, and our Seven Jars Rum (made from Blackstrap Molasses) provides the perfect base. This classic Daiquiri recipe features our Seven Jars Rum and is easier to make than even the Bootlegger’s variation because it does not require a blender. Nothing wrong with a blender at all, BUT it is true that few, if any of the truly classic cocktail recipes require a blender.

Classic Martini (Gin & Vermouth)

by with No Comment Vodka Recipes

A Seven Jars Special Recipe

This is one of two classic drinks presented in this book where we don’t have a Seven Jars product as the main ingredient (yet!). (However, the Bootlegger’s Version of this classic actually contains TWO versions, each featuring a different Seven Jars Vodka. There are two things to note in the Classic Martini recipe; the ratio of Gin to Vermouth, and whether the Vermouth is truly a “Dry” Vermouth or a “Sweet” Vermouth. One thing that is NOT up for debate is how the drink is served; it must be as cold as possible (thus Jame’s Bond’s insistence that his martini be “Shaken, NOT Stirred”) In keeping with the more traditional recipe that was popular during the time frame of the Flamingo Club, we offer the following classic recipe:
