We can’t get enough of this Mad Men inspired cocktail created by Kris Sowell!
Cute as Hell (a.k.a. the Peggy)
3 parts Hudson Manhattan Rye Whiskey
1 part Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur
1 part SNAP
Just under 1/2 part Bittermens Hellfire Habanero Shrub
1 quick shake Angostura bitters
2 orange wheels
2 teaspoons superfine sugar
Sugar in the Raw for glass rim
In a mixing glass, muddle and crush the two orange slices with the sugar, bitters and shrub. Add whiskey, Solerno and SNAP with ice. Give a quick stir to combine ingredients and slightly chill. Pour into a lightly sugared rocks glass.
Inspired by our favorite culinary journal, Lucky Peach, and the release of David Gelb’s documentary “Jiro Dreams of Sushi“, we decided to create a refreshing RHUBY cocktail that was light enough for pre-sushi sipping.
We couldn’t wait for peach season, so we decided to mix frozen peach puree with fresh mango and fresh ginger for a spicy-sweet juice blend. We also wanted to incorporate egg white, after learning about the incredibly painstaking process of creating the egg sushi at the acclaimed Sukiyabashi Jiro. Combined with RHUBY, sake, and an experimental batch of peach bitters from Hella Bitter, this cocktail is the perfect before dinner drink, or warm weather refresher.
