Bantha Milk Fizz
A long time ago... In a city far, far away, a six year old boy watched his first @starwars film and was instantly hooked just like many of those before him.
I grew up watching these films over and over again and waited in line for the midnight showing of the prequels and the new series. I collected the toys, wore the shirts, etc. Since tonight is the official release of #TheRiseofSkywalker - I figured I’d honor my favorite series of all time with a boozy take on that subtle beverage with the cult following — BLUE MILK.
ingredients:
2 oz | 60 ml Empress 1908 Gin
1 oz | 30 ml White Creme de Cacao
½ oz | 15 ml Simple Syrup
½ oz | 15 ml Dry Curaçao
¾ oz | 22.5 ml Pea Flower Steeped Heavy Cream
4 Drops Orange Blossom Water
1 Egg White
4 oz | 120 ml Soda Water
instructions:
Combine all ingredients except the soda water and garnish in a shaking tin with ice. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds. Pour and strain into the shaking tin, dump the ice and dry shake vigorously for another 20 seconds (reverse dry shake method). Pour over a chilled Collins glass. Let the cream settle for about one minute then slowly pour soda water through the cream until the glass is full. Add a straw. Serve, enjoy and may the force be with you.

I’m your huckleberry ðŸ¤
I just got back from Montana with my friends at @traegergrills. It was strictly a grilling event but given what I do, of course I had to get behind the bar. I knew I wanted to incorporate local Montana ingredients like huckleberry, juniper (grown on site) and honey but also wanted to incorporate smoke from the grill. So I had the idea to make a bramble type cocktail.
For the smokey element, I smoked some local raw honey along with some juniper berries on the Traeger to just get a kiss of smoke. I then constructed the cocktail originally using gin like a traditional bramble, but the juniper botanicals overpowered the recipe so I switched to a reposado tequila and knew it was the perfect fit. They also had some locally made huckleberry liqueur which was the perfect last ingredient to top the cocktail and bring that sweet/sour/fruity element to the cocktail. Finally topped it with that smoked juniper berry branch to give it that botanical pop and tricking your brain into thinking you’re drinking a bramble when you’re actually drinking something closer to a margarita.
Given the ingredients and location, it was just fitting to call this the ‘Big Sky Bramble.’ Cheers y’all.
Big thanks to @i_drewcifer for the R&D help!
