Cocktail of the Week: Licensed to Dill
This week’s recipe is from Daniel Carr, bar manager at The Fat Ham. Featuring Dill Infused Gin with just a touch of sweetness, this cocktail is a refreshing southern sip.1 1/2oz Dill Infused Gin*
1oz Cucumber Water…
3/4oz Fresh Lemon Juice
1/4oz Yellow Chartreuse

Club Soda
Lemon Slices and Fresh Dill for garnishAdd Gin, Cucumber Water, Lemon Juice, Chartreuse and Agave Syrup to an ice filled shaker. Shake then strain as you pour over ice in a tall glass. Top with Club Soda. Garnish with a Lemon Slice and Dill.*Daniel uses 1 quart of loose packed dill per 1.75L of gin and flavors it in a vacuum packed bag for two days. In a jar he recommends pickling the gin with the dill for 5 – 7 days. If you can’t wait that long, I suggest you head over to The Fat Ham and have Daniel mix up one of his special cocktails. https://www.sbragadining.com/fatham/

Cocktail of the Week: a Malbec cocktail the New York Sour

NY Sour Malbec Cocktail Cocktail of the Week: a Malbec cocktail the New York Sour
The Philadelphia area has been turned upside down by the imminent and eminent visit of Pope Francis. While I jump on the bandwagon or should I say Popemobile, this week’s cocktail features another great product of Argentina – Malbec – heavenly to drink by the glass and a divine way to add a little spirit to your cocktails.

2oz Bourbon
1oz Lemon Juice
1oz Simple Syrup*
½oz Malbec

Fill a shaker with ice and top with Bourbon, Lemon Juice and Simple Syrup. Shake then strain as you pour over ice in a rocks glass. Carefully pour the Malbec over the back of a spoon so that the wine stays at the top of the glass. Amen!

* Simple Syrup is really simple. Just put 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer for a few minutes to dissolve all the sugar. Store in a tightly closed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
