Papa Smurf

by Ian Glomski

Difficulty Level: Easy

This impressively blue cocktail is perfectly refreshing and has an ingredient that gives a nod to Ian’s microbiology background. Spirulina is a type of algae that is used in food supplements. It is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, and antioxidants. Phycocyanin is the blue pigment derived from spirulina which gives the algae its dark blue color when it has been extracted. This blue pigment comes in the form of a powder and is dissolved into the cocktail to give it its vibrant smurf-like color. Science!

Saturn

Classic Riff by Kerrie Pierce

Difficulty Level: Advanced

Rum has always been the star of the tiki mug, but unbeknownst to many, gin has long had a supporting role in tropical drinks as well. The Saturn cocktail is one of the most famous gin-based recipes—a fruity combo of gin, passion fruit, orgeat, falernum and lemon juice. Invented in 1967, the drink still appears on menus at bars around the world today. The Vitae version is the perfect cocktail for the summer. You’ll want a pitcher for the pool, to yourself!

__________________

1.5 oz. Vitae Spirits Modern Gin1/4 oz

falernum (see below)

1/4 oz orgeat (see below) ( Liber & Co)

1/2 oz passionfruit syrup ( Liber & Co)

1/2 oz lemon juice

__________________

Orgeat

2 cups lightly toasted almonds, coarsely chopped

1 1/4 cup sugar

1 1/4 cup water

1 tsp orange flower water

__________________

Falernum

1/3 cup sliced, raw almonds

30 whole cloves

1/2 cup of light rum

8 limes

2/3 cup of water

1/2 cup of sugar

Preheat the oven to 400°F and toast the almonds on a cookie sheet until slightly darkened and fragrant, about five minutes. Be careful not to let them burn. Let cool before using.
Place the almonds and cloves in a sealable glass jar and pour in the rum. Shake and let steep 2 days. (For a less intense clove flavor, steep 1 day.)
Zest the limes, being sure no white pith is included. Set aside four of the limes for use in the rest of this recipe, and reserve the rest for another project. Add lime zest to the jar. At this point you can also add other spices, if desired. Shake and let steep for 1 day, and then strain through cheesecloth, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible.
Juice four of the limes, and strain the juice into a sauce pot. Add water and sugar, then bring to a boil on medium heat. Cook until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Let syrup cool, then combine with the strained almond and clove infusion. Strain mixture through a coffee filter, if desired, then let it rest for an additional 12 hours before use.

24 Carrot

NAUGHTY OR NICE MARTINI

by Kerrie Pierce

Difficulty Level: Advanced

The Naughty or Nice Martini was developed by our Tasting Room Associate Kerrie Pierce for our Winter 2016 tasting room cocktail menu. A key component in this martini is the cranberry shrub. A shrub is a flavored vinegar preparation that was popular in colonial America as a mixer for rum. Naughty or Nice’s color combination is perfect for the holiday season and its sweet and sour flavor profile makes it dangerously easy to go down.

MODERN TONIC

by group blind tastings

This flavor combination was found by blind tasting Modern Gin in a dozen or so tonic waters and then tallying the votes for the favorites. The hand’s down winner was Fever Tree’s Elderflower Tonic. The elder flowers draw out the floral and herbal complexity of our Modern Gin. The Elderflower tonic is a little tough to get your hands on, but we sell it in the tasting room if you want to pick some up.

MOUNTAIN TOP FIZZ

by Ian Glomski

Every year since Vitae Spirits’ inception we have taken part in Monticello’s Heritage Harvest Festival. In 2016 we have developed a cocktail for the opening night shebang using ingredients harvested straight from the slopes of Monticello’s mountain top gardens. It takes a little extra work to pull the ingredients together, but you’ll find it worth it.

Difficulty Level: MEDIUM+

__________________

1.5 oz. Vitae Spirits Modern Gin

0.5 oz. fresh lime juice

0.5 oz. Rhubarb syrup (see recipe below)

SYRUPS

Rhubarb Syrup– bring to a boil and then simmer in a covered pot 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 4 cups chopped rhubarb. Simmer for 30 minutes. While still warm, strain through a colander into a bowl. If your colander’s holes are too large and solids pass through, restrain after adding some cheese cloth to the colander to strain more finely. Let cool and store in refrigerator up to one month.

Fennel Flower Syrup- Harvest enough fennel flowers to fill 2 cups with just the seeds/flower heads while minimizing green stems. Bring 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water to a boil. Add the 2 cups of fennel flowers and simmer for 5 minutes. While still warm, strain through a colander into a bowl. If your colander’s holes are too large and solids pass through, restrain after adding some cheese cloth to the colander to strain more finely. Let cool and store in refrigerator up to one month.
