Mix Inspired Cocktails with Lynnette Marrero for WHM

In celebration of Women’s History Month, Lynnette Marrero, Bar Director of Llama San, NYC & Llama Inn, Bklyn and Co-Founder, Speed Rack and educator masterclass.com created cocktails inspired by empowering females.

 

Celebrate Women’s History Month with These Women-Empowered Cocktails.  

 

Coco Chanel inspired Lynnette to create the Vintage Coco. 

 

The Glitter Revolution, was created by Lynnette to honor the women of Mexico City’s “revolución Diamantina,” with notes of sweet and spicy, and garnished with an orange peel, cinnamon stick, and ground chili peppers.  Lynnette created Harmony with Nature, inspired by Jane Goodall and honoring Master Blender Lorena Vasquez. The Harmony with Nature showcases many tropical flavors but is inspired by one Goodall’s famous quotes, “We can have a world of peace. We can move toward a world where we live in harmony with nature. Where we live in harmony with each other. No matter what nation we come from. No matter what our religion. No matter what our culture. This is where we’re moving towards.” Lynnette shares, “I love her work that started with primates but has evolved into a larger conversation about communities and nature conservancy.”

Glitter Revolution

I created this cocktail to honor the women of Mexico City’s “revolución diamantina,” or glitter revolution. In summer of 2019, thousands of women took to the streets to protest sexual violence against women, spurred by the horrific assault of a teen girl by Mexican police. The protest movement got its name when women showered CDMX’s security chief with pink glitter at their inaugural demonstration on August 12.  

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 oz blended Scotch 
  • 1/2 oz Mezcal (Dona Vega Mezcal) 
  • 1/4 oz Chile-Cinnamon Syrup* 
  • 2 dashes Bittermens Mole bitters 
  • 1 teaspoon edible glitter  
  • Orange peel 
  • Ground chile pepper, for garnish 
  • Cinnamon stick, for garnish  

Preparation: Combine the Mezcal, Scotch, cinnamon syrup, bitters, and glitter in a mixing glass filled with ice and stir until chilled. Strain into a double Old-Fashioned glass and express the orange peel over the cocktail and rim of the glass, then discard the orange peel. Garnish with the chile pepper, then hold one end of the cinnamon stick over a flame until it smokes. Place the cinnamon stick (smoking end up) in the drink and serve.  

 

*Chile Cinnamon Syrup 

Makes about 3/4 cup  

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup sugar 
  • 1/2 cup water 
  • 2 cinnamon sticks, broken into pieces 
  • 1 dried chile de árbol, cut into pieces 
  • 2 slices jalapeño 
  • 1 dash cayenne pepper (or to taste) 

Preparation: Combine the sugar, water, and cinnamon in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for a few minutes, just until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 4 hours. In the last 30 minutes, add the chile de árbol, jalapeño, and cayenne and stir. When at your desired heat level, strain the syrup, discard the solids, and store the syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.   

Preparation: In a mixing glass add Chili-cinnamon syrup, bitters, and Jane Walker. Fill glass three-quarters with ice stir to mix approximately 30 seconds. Strain into the double Old-Fashioned glass. Express orange peel over the cocktail and rim the top of the glass with the side of the peel. Toss. Garnish with chili pepper, smoking cinnamon stick 

 

 

Harmony with Nature

Inspired by Jane Goodall 

  • 1 1/2 oz Zacapa Rum (honoring Master blender Lorena Vasquez) 
  • 1/2 oz Banana liqueur  
  • 1 oz Lemon juice 
  • 1/2 oz Coconut green tea syrup 
  • Pinch of salt 
  • Banana leaf wrapped rocks glass 

Preparation: In a shaker add banana liqueur, lemon juice, coconut green tea syrup, a pinch of salt and Zacapa Rum. Add 3 ice cubes to the shaker. Add the banana leaf to the rocks glass, add cubes or crushed ice. Shake your cocktail to mix approximately 30 second. Strain your cocktail into the prepared double Old-Fashioned glass.

You Can Eat Martha Stewart's Baked Goods (Without Baking a Thing)

It’s a new year, which means it’s time for a new project for Martha Stewart, who I can only assume never, ever sleeps (meanwhile I, a 26-year-old, get fussy after anything less than a rock solid eight and a half hours ). This time, it’s not a partnership with Snoop Dogg or a craft store or a CBD-company . Martha Stewart has teamed up with Goldbelly to bring her lifelong favorite baked recipes—everything from flaky, buttery French croissants to luxurious kouign amann to sticky-sweet apricot danishes to her Extraordinary Chocolate Chip Cookies —straight to your home. “I’m thrilled to partner with Goldbelly to bring my favorite baked cookies and pastries to their loyal customers," said Martha Stewart in a statement. "Thoughtfully packaged in my signature Martha blue, these cookies are baked using some of my life-long favorite recipes and they make the perfect gifts for your loved ones or for yourself.” Read More >> from Food52 https://ift.tt/9c4W8MLeB via IFTTT

29 Great American Diners

Image
Lille Allen/Eater America’s diners account for some of the oldest restaurants in the nation. Here are some of the most iconic. A diner is a mood. It’s the slosh of sharp, black coffee poured from a steel tank behind the counter into a heavy white mug. It’s the miniature packets of butter and strawberry jelly waiting for their foil to be peeled back. It’s the waitstaff who’ve been scribbling orders on blue-striped checks for 40 years and know how to balance eight plates of pancakes on one arm. It’s the assurance that your eggs will always come out just the way you like them — not too runny in the whites, with a soft orange yolk built to drag slices of crisp, buttery, industrial-grade toast through. The promise of feeling like a regular no matter how many times you’ve actually visited. America’s diners account for some of the oldest and most iconic restaurants in the nation. A dying breed by some accounts and a resurgent one by others, they’re shorthand for a vision of the Unite...

Beyond Impossible: The Sanitarium and World War II Past of Meat Substitutes

Image
Photo by Tom Kelley/Getty Images We’ve come a long way from John Harvey Kellogg’s “protose cutlets” It’s no stretch to say that fake meat is having a moment . With the popularity of brands such as Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat joining fast-food menus and grocery store aisles alike, plant-based meats are no longer seen as a sad option for vegetarians long denied flavor with meat substitutes (though, as we know, plenty of vegetarian food is packed with flavor), but for anyone who enjoys a good burger, fried chicken, or nuggets. But are meat substitutes really the future of eating? Maybe by necessity as food resources run out, but not likely by choice. In fact, despite the big money raked in by Impossible and Beyond over the past few years, industrial meat consumption in America is actually on the rise. This week on Gastropod , Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley see how the not-sausage gets made, with visits to the Impossible Meat lab and Meati , a Colorado-based start-up that’...
