| When asked which other Fox’s Den cocktail Tommy would recommend, he suggested the Sneaky Russian Neighbor: vanilla- and cinnamon-infused breck vodka, peach blackberry vinegar shrub, soda – made in house. This was a fun cocktail to learn about! The work that goes into the ingredients is amazing. When I asked what Tommy’s favorite part of working at Fox’s Den is, he says “the staff and then the creativity of the menu and freedom to create”. The Sneaky Russian Neighbor is a perfect example of this. Sous-vide is a is a method of cooking in which food is sealed in airtight plastic bags then placed in a water bath or in a temperature-controlled steam environment for longer-than-normal cooking times (source: Wikipedia). Using this method creates the vanilla- and cinnamon-infused Breck vodka. The flavor is evenly distributed and is much better than any shelf flavored vodka I’ve tasted. Match this with house-made soda and the peach blackberry shrub—peach, blackberries, white wine vinegar and raw cane sugar—mixed together and mingling for an entire week, and you’ve got yourself a beautifully crafted and custom cocktail. Garnished with peach slices and vanilla bean, this cocktail is both pretty and refreshingly tasty. |
or
the simple vodka tonic.
a freshly made sangria ain't bad either
Damn purist....
Palermo
Tequila with limes on the rocks.
Transfusions
Ice cold beer.
that picture is actually the Angels Envy Rye. I have it, haven't tried it yet. Is that actually what you have and is it good?
Angels Envy used to be my favorite bourbon until I was able to get Blanton's again. Blanton's and Wellers are now my go to.
Wellers makes an "antique 107" with a maroon label which is great.
Cold IPA
Spanish Reds to go with grilled meats,
(Garnacha based, preferably.)
I've pretty much given up the hard stuff even in mixes, although a classic Gin based dry martini or two could sneak onto a brunch menu, as opposed to Mimosas.

I like them both a lot but the rum cask is much better. It just has a really great finish. I do enjoy Blantons as well.
I'll have to check out the antique 107.
2.5-3oz of either The Botanist Gin
1 oz lime juice
big slice of Jalapeno
over ice
or
2.5-3oz of Jalapeno infused Espolon Tequila
1 oz lime juice
1 slice each of lime and jalapeno
over ice
So very similar I just dial back the spice a bit with Gin since the botanicals of the Gin should still shine.
Margaritas
Founders All Day IPA
Brooklyn Summer Ale
Tito's/rocks
Tito's with Fever Tree Elderflower Tonic
if on the beach and too early in the day to get really banged up, Mango flavored White Claws are good.
it's 5:00 somewhere!
Poland Spring Seltzer Water
Splash of pink Grapefruit juice (sweet, not tart)
Lime
Can o Bliss IPA if I'm just having a couple, Mamas Little Yella Pilsner if I'm getting after it and the sun is beating down.
I also got 24 cans of each of two other seasonal IPAs. I don't need to go back out again for quite awhile.
SC doesn't let you have alcohol delivered with your groceries. Such an archaic law when if I lived about 5 miles across the NC border I'd have no such issues.

Lime
this is good too!
And lemon wedges....lots.
CLASSIC! that show is never on anymore. tragic
Coming to NY and NJ in the upcoming weeks!
During this stay at home time, though, my wife has been experimenting with cocktails. A nice one for warm weather is what a local place calls a Forthave Spritz. It is similar to an Aperol Spritz. It is Red , an aperitivo by Forthave Spirits mixed with prosecco served on ice in a wine glass.
When I want a brewski, a Leinie's Berry Weiss does the trick.
This one may make some of you guys throw your beers at the screen, but I recently tried Left Hand Brewing's new Gettin' Tiki With It Nitro (Pina Colada wheat beer) at the suggestion of a friend of mine. It's got a hint of coconut and pineapple but is extremely smooth and summery. And at 7.5% (in a larger can), it's a great way to relax.

I've been drinking Montauk Session and Founders All Days by the pool so far this summer (Which has been alot because i'm working from home, work nights don't matter much anymore).
NO fun league.
Clown Shoes: Lil Crispy
Harpoon: Don't Poke the Bear
Founders: Solid Gold
Or my year 'round choice: Harpoon IPA

Mojito.

I’ve actually never made my own, and don’t have any mint or clear rum. But maybe I’ll load up on some supplies for July 4th weekend.

go to the supermarket or garden center an buy a mint plant. in 2 weeks you will have a thriving plant
You're welcome.
thanks for the reminder Greg. I had one last night. Perfect for a hot summer afternoon.
3 ounces of lime
2.5 ounces of simple syrup.
Shake with ice.
Makes 2 drinks it's refreshing that both guys and gals will enjoy on a hot day.
mine right at the moment is similar - Tito's vodka with ice and some Italian lime mineral water from Whole Foods.
1 part fresh lime juice
2 parts tequila
.5 part Grand Marnier or Cointreau (optional) don't really need it if you have fresh juice, but if it's not sweet enough, add some
I like to make this is a big pitcher. Can also sub blood orange juice for the watermelon. I prefer that closer to winter time though. Watermelon says summer to me.
Otherwise I’ve been toggling through Balvenie Doublewood, Bulleit Bourbon, chilled Cabernet, White Claws or Coors Light.
