(31:08) Episode Review - Masquerade!
The commission Ryan did for Hayley, who won our VERY POPULAR G-My Joe contest way back when.
I had to call an audible on this episode’s cocktail because I wanted Caleb to be here to try the one I had planned. So we’ll try that one when we come back after the break. I have a list of cocktails I want to do on the show, so I just picked a random one. I’m sure Mikel Andrews will come up with a good tie-in name that makes it Transformers related. I didn’t. Because fuck him.
THE MILLIONAIRE
There are, confusingly, several drinks called “Millionaire,” but this is one of the few good cocktails to arise during the dark decade of Prohibition here in the States.
· 2 oz. (60 ml) bourbon whiskey
o I used Rittenhouse Bottled in Bond Rye
· ¾ oz. (22.5 ml) Grand Marnier
o Or triple sec, if you don’t have that
· 2 dashes absinthe
o The traditional recipe calls for ¼ oz., but absinthe is so powerful a flavor, I backed it off here
· ½ oz. (30 ml) grenadine
o I recommend using one that has the first ingredient of pomegranate, or making your own
· 1 egg white
· ½ oz. fresh lemon juice
o Add all ingredients into a shaker and dry-shake
o Add ice and shake again
o Double-strain into a chilled coupe glass
o Garnish with grated nutmeg
o You can also throw in some bitters, if you want, it’s not cannon, but it’s your fucking drink, dealer’s choice
How does a layering error like this even happen? You only need one layer of 5 dots.
Seems like there was some disagreement about the kerning on this façade.
