Mad Men themed New Years Eve Drinks
Yesterday I got together with two of the guys I am celebrating New Years with, and we concocted and named 4 original drinks for our Mad Men-themed NYE party tomorrow. We left out the measurements, because really it was a game of adding a little more of this or that along the way, so we couldn’t really tell how much of which ingredient had gone in to each drinks base. Anyway, they turned out pretty great and it’s a good thing there’s a day of recovery before New Years Eve.
Here they are:
Hot Miss Holloway (reduced ginger pulp/syrup, freshly squeezed ginger juice, sugar)
Mix 50/50 with vodka, shake it with ice, add a slice of apple - serve in an old fashioned glass
Peggy’s Mango Dream (freshly squeezed mango juice, freshly squeezed ginger)
Mix 50/50 with dark rum, shake it with ice and the juice of half a lime - serve in an old fashioned glass
Sterling Cooper Special Blend (fresh pomegranate pulp, blackberries, sweet liquorice syrup) Mix 50/50 with vodka on the rocks - serve in a highball glass
Lane’s Plum Passion (passion fruit juice, umeshu-marinated Reine Claude plums)
Mix 50/50 with vodka and crushed ice - serve in a cocktail (martini) glass
Bubbly Betty (freshly squeezed orange juice, honey, cranberry juice, blackcurrant juice) Shake with ice cubes and mix with crémant - serve in champagne glass
Happy New Year!
