Ruby Splash

Created by Michael Montez – California

I love the beach and always enjoy a bright flavorful citrusy cocktail while in the sun. What better way than an explosion of citrus flavors combining with the tartness and sweetness of a raspberry syrup! The grapefruit vodka adds such a flavorful level that the balance in the cocktail becomes a must have at the beach! This cocktail has a punch of grapefruit upfront with a tart sweet finish. I just love fresh bright cocktails! This might be a new item on my menu!

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Deep Eddy Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka
  • 3/4 oz Raspberry Syrup*
  • 
3/4 oz Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/2 oz Triple Sec


Preparation: Shake all ingredients together and strain into a double Old Fashioned glass over ice. Garnish with fresh raspberries. *Raspberry Syrup: Muddle raspberries with simple syrup if not available.

 

 

Ruby Red Kiwi Kiss

Created by Bryan Whitakee – Washington

I wanted to create something to pair well with the fresh grapefruit flavor in Deep Eddy Grapefruit Vodka, and I thought kiwi would do just that. Toying with the recipe, I wanted something easy yet delicious to make poolside for a group of friends or for myself. I wanted to use easy-to-source ingredients that you can find almost anywhere with minimal prep work and without custom or hard-to-find tinctures and ingredients that may be out-of-reach for many at-home bartenders.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 oz Deep Eddy Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka
  • 1/2 oz St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur
  • 3 Medium Kiwi Slices
1 oz Simple Syrup
  • 1/2 oz Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
  • 2-3 oz Club Soda
Mint and kiwi slice (for garnish)

Preparation: Peel and slice half a kiwi, muddle in a cocktail shaker. Add all ingredients except club soda. Shake with ice. Open pour all ingredients into a Collins glass. Top with club soda and garnish with Kiwi wheel (unpeeled) and mint sprig.

 

 

El Flamingo del Diablo

Created by Dennis Bonifer – Kentucky

I love spicy cocktails, especially on a warm summer day! Infusing flavors into simple syrup is an easy way to create something extraordinary. One of my favorite combinations with grapefruit is rosemary. After a bit of research and experimenting I discovered that red pepper is another complementary flavor to grapefruit. By adding red pepper to the simple syrup, it’s a great way to get that sweet heat that is so, so good with the tartness of the grapefruit. The color reminded me of a flamingo and with that hit of spice the El Flamingo del Diablo (aka the Devil’s Flamingo) was born!

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz. Deep Eddy Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka
  • 1 oz. Fresh-squeeze Grapefruit Juice
  • 1 oz. Diablo syrup*
  • Soda water


Preparation: Add ingredients to a shaker with ice. Shake it like you mean it. Pour into an Old Fashioned glass with ice and top with soda water. If you want to kick it up a notch, replace the soda water with Deep Eddy Grapefruit Vodka Soda. Find a pool, beach, lake or your happy spot, kick back and enjoy the sweet heat of El Flamingo del Diablo. Garnish with quarter slice of a grapefruit.

 

*Diablo Syrup

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 cup Water
  • 3 Sprigs Rosemary
  • 1 Tbsp. red pepper flakes

Preparation: Make the Diablo syrup by combining ingredients in a small sauce pan over medium low heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Allow rosemary and red pepper flakes to simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes. The longer the simmer, the more intense the flavor (and the hEAT). Remove from heat and let it rest until cool approx. 30 minutes. Strained cooled liquid into a container and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

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’...
