Here’s To You! (One Of) Tatum’s Vodka Martinis Extra, extra cold. Stirred, not shaken. Shaken, not stirred. Bruised. Ice crystals with a rinse of vermouth, no fruit. Filthy dirty, gin, not vodka, please. Shake – no, I mean shake… I want to see ice crystals. Blue cheese olives AND a twist. Caviar, please. Ten stirs. Only ten stirs. Why isn’t your vodka in the freezer? Dash of orange bitters and vermouth. Fill the glass to the top like an infinity pool, but don’t spill it and don’t forget the twist… and so on and so on. How do you martini? Let me know in the comments below. Enjoy all the photos on the way down to the recipe. I wanted a splash, and I kept eating the garnish. Oh, and let me see your martini splash! Here’s one of mine. Cheers! Stir and stirring Here’s To You! (One of) Tatum’s Vodka Martini Ingredients 3 ounces of vodka (brand bartender choice) 2 dashes of viscous simple syrup (not looking for sweet, think soft) 1 or 3 pieces of caper berries wrapped in anchovies Method Cold from the freezer? Choose one. If your vodka is cold from the freezer, add it to a chilled martini glass. Use your caper berry anchovy stir stick to stir the dashes of simple syrup. For the second choice, stir in a metal mixing tin with ice. Add simple syrup and garnish. And, of course, serve in a chilled martini glass. Note: If you prepare your martini in a mixing glass, stir faster. It takes longer for the ice to heat up because the surface area is larger than that of a metal tin, and then it takes longer for the vodka to chill as a result. *I don’t shake unless upon request. It’s your martini though. For the simple syrup 1 1/2 part sugar to 1 part water. Add boiling water to sugar. Stir until dissolved. Cool before chilling. Chill before using. Glass: Chilled martini glass Garnish: Caper-wrapped anchovy (I bought the ones photographed in this post at Eataly in Los Angeles. They are also available on Blonde Behind the Bucket Storefront, linked below).👇 Please drink responsibly Where to buy some of the goods from this post??

milk washed India tea milk washed India tea What you will need: Jar, cocktail mixing glass, spoons, fine weave cheese cloth (worked best for me) or several coffee filters, jigger for measuring, glass for cocktail, fruit vegetable peeler, lemons for the twist, one medium blood orange and two small medium limes, Brother’s Bond Bourbon, Sukhi’s mango curry chutney, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, ice, a couple of small bucket glasses, several medium and large sized rubber bands Cocktail Ingredients: 10 ounces Brother’s Bond Indian Bourbon (7 ounces for the milk citrus juice and 3 ounces for after clarification) 9 Ounces of goat milk 3 Ounces of fresh citrus juice (this recipe 1 medium blood orange and 2 small limes) with pulp strained out 3 Tablespoons of Citric Acid powder 1/2 Ounce of Vanilla Extract (easy recipe to make it here) 1/2 Ounce Sukki’s Mango Chutney Coconut sugar for the syrup to taste For the Milk Wash: In a mixing glass add 7 ounces of Brother’s Bond Bourbon and the room temperature juice of one medium blood orange and two small limes. Then slowly pour in 9 ounces of goat milk. Whisk with a whisk or fork as you pour. Once milk bourbon mixture combined, cover, label, and refrigerate for 3-24 hours. Once a visible separation, start the filtering. A few passes for me. The coffee filter broke the first time. I switched to cheese cloth for the next pass. Once again I filter as there were still some particles present after the second pass. The liquid should be crystal clear. After 24 hours in the refrigerator Overhead view Simple rubber band and plastic wrap until ready to filter Label and date Separation indicates readiness First drip coffee filter What is left behind Coffee filter broke a couple of times and I switched to a cheese cloth Give the cheese cloth a good squeeze to remove all liquid into the batch in the jar My first coffee filter broke and I had to start again. I tried another coffee filter and ripped the second coffee filter and decided to switch to fine weave cheese cloth. Leave the mixture alone and let it drip as slow as it needs to drip. Patience. Pass bourbon milk mixture as many times as you need to in order to produce a crystal clear liquid. Three or four times worked for me. After clarification, add 3 ounces of the remainder bourbon 3 Tablespoons of Citric Acid and 1/2 Ounce of Vanilla Extract. Give the mixture a good stir. Cover, date, and refrigerate until ready to use. For the Mango Curry Syrup 4 heaping Tablespoons of Mango Curry Chutney 2 Ounce of Still Water In a bucket glass, mix chutney and water. In a second bucket glass fasten a cheese cloth or coffee filter with rubber band. Pass the chunky chutney liquid through the filter to remove larger pieces of fruit.

In one glass mix 3/4 water to 1/4 chutney. Strain mixtures through a cheese cloth. Secure the cloth with a rubber band This recipe only needs a small amount for one mango curries syrup. For the Coconut Sugar 1/2 Cup of Coconut Sugar 1/2 Cup of Water Combine equal parts water and coconut sugar in saucepan over medium heat. Cook until sugar is dissolved. Occasionally stirring. Once dissolved remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Once cool, store in refrigerator until ready to use for your cocktail. For milk washed India iced tea 2 Ounces of Clarified Bourbon 1/ 2 Ounce of Mango Curries Syrup 2-3 Bar Spoonfuls of Coconut Sugar Syrup (if you like it sweeter add more to taste similar to a regular iced tea) In a bucket glass add a large ice cube or several cubes and set aside. Ice choice, a personal preference. Pour all measured all ingredients into a mixing glass. Add ice and mix about ten stirs of the spoon. This is a stirred not shaken situation.

Sparkling Campari Water Blonde Behind the Bucket Sparkling Campari I know this isn’t my usual recipe with many ingredients, but the Campari does it for me. It arrives full-flavored and ready to pour (Yes, it is an acquired taste, I realize). I always like a little sparkle and texture mouth feel, so I opt for a couple of additional ingredients. Still less than most. Three isn’t bad, right? Besides, there is an elegance in simplicity. Simply add sparkling water and a couple of slices of grapefruit, close your eyes, and you will be transported to the Italian Riviera. What is Campari? Campari is an Italian liqueur known as a bitter. It is made of herbs, spices and citrus. It is often enjoyed as an aperitif; however, I say whenever. Some rules are meant to be broken. A couple of classic cocktails you may have heard or or even tried that showcases Campari is the Negroni and Negroni Sbagliato. It can also be infused with cocoa nibs (see my post here) for a delicious twist (no pun intended?) on your favorite Campari drink. For those of you looking for a complex drink with only a few ingredients, this is for you. Cheers! Blonde Behind the Bucket Sparkling Campari with Grapefruit Ingrédients: 2 ounces of Campari 2-3 ounces of San Pellegrino sparkling water 2 wedges of pink grapefruits One large ice cube Method: Gather all the ingredients. Add ice to a bucket glass. Using a jigger or estimating by pouring from the heart, pour Campari. Top it off with sparkling water. Add your grapefruit wedges. I prefer to cut off all the white pith from the fruit and expose the clean edge. This step is essential for creating a photo-worthy cocktail. In my opinion. Squeeze into the drink after taking the photo. Enjoy! Where to buy the goods? Bucket glasses, jiggers, cocktail tables (the one featured here is from West Elm), and more?

Double Rum Mojito The Mojito is a Cuban classic that has withstood the test of time. This refreshing libation dates back to a long time ago. Artists and writers alike have been known to consume this cool crisp bright and refreshing drink. Rum is an alcohol made from molasses and/or sugarcane and distilled water. It isn’t designated to one origin to be called rum, and as a result, can be made anywhere. Many notable locations for rum production include the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Nicaragua, India, Panama, and Barbados, among others. Interestingly, much of the rum is also produced in the United States of America, particularly Florida and Puerto Rico. Ron Zacapa 23 used in this recipe is born in Guatemala. Double Rum Mojito Ingredients 8-10 fresh mint leaves for the muddled and 1 or 2 mint sprigs to garnish 2 ounces of Bacardi white rum and a splash 1 ounce of fresh squeezed lime juice 1/2 ounce of Demerara sugar simple syrup 1-2 ounces of club soda to top 1/4 ounce of Ron Zacapa 23 Centenario Rum final final top Lime wheels for the garnish Mojito Method For the Demerara syrup Add 1/2 cup of sugar to 1/2 cup of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove from the heat and let it cool before adding it to the cocktail. The syrup can be stored for up to three weeks in a sealed airtight container in the refrigerator. Don’t forget to label and date it for reference. Muddle the mint leaves with two to three turns of a muddler, being careful not to over-muddle. Add the wet ingredients, then the ice. Shake and add all ingredients (also known as garbage dump), including the ice, into a Collins glass. Top with club soda and finish with dark rum. Spank the mint to warm it up – place the mint in the palm of one hand and spank it with the other hand. Then, place the warmish mint sprig in the glass. Arrange lime wheels on top next to the mint sprigs prettily, you know photo worthy. Glass: Collins glass Garnish: two thin slices limes wheels and mint sprigs Bar Chef notes: need a similar mocktail?

Bacon Fat Washed Tequila for the The Quick Test Drink Let’s talk fat washing. It’s a surprisingly simple process that packs a flavor punch, uh-huh. Picture this: a few sizzling slices of bacon in a pan, the aroma filling the kitchen as I whip up a delicious sandwich to pass the time faster than you can say… Once the bacon grease has cooled just a bit, not too much, a bit, I mix it with tequila and let the magic happen. After a few hours of infusing on the counter in a sealed container, I label it and pop it in the freezer for a dayish. Voilà! An exciting bacon-infused tequila ready to elevate your cocktail game, almost immediately. Why fat wash at all? What is fat washing?There are several reasons. Fat washing alcohol is a versatile technique that allows you to experiment with different flavors and create customized spirits for cocktails. Specifically, fat washing not only removes some color but also creates a softer,less potent, flavorful spirit and changes the mouthfeel of your drink. Various techniques exist for fat washing, including using agar agar (a vegetarian gel version), freeze-thaw methods with egg or meat fats, or clarifying with milks and acids. Or clarifying with milks and meat fats and so forth. I know! At the end of the day, you combine the fat with the alcohol and let them infuse. The fat is then separated from the alcohol, leaving behind the desired flavors. In fairness to my “it’s easy,” some are a little more complicated than others but that’s the gist and THIS particular version, making it easy. Bacon-infused tequila. I chose Reposado tequila for its age and translation. Reposado tequila is older than silver or blanco (aged for only two months) and younger than Anejo (aged for one to three years). Reposado tequila is aged in oak barrels for a period ranging from two to twelve months. The term “Reposado” translates to “rested.” Used a couple of different types of bacon. All worked the same slight subtle flavors difference This is a 4 oz bacon fat wash. Cook bacon: Start by cooking a few (or eight) strips of bacon until they are crispy. Who’s counting? I don’t often eat bacon so when I do, I do. Remove the bacon from the pan and set it aside to cool on a cooling rack over a parchment or aluminum foil lined sheet pan is best to collect any drippings and for easy clean-up. Collect bacon fat: Pour the bacon fat from the pan into a clean heat safe container that contains the tequila. Make sure to strain out any bacon bits or solids, as they can affect the final flavor and texture of the tequila. Some say fresh hot bacon grease and some say slightly cool. Warmer is better. Just make sure it’s still liquid. Best for infusing the flavors. After you eat your sandwich half let’s say that’s a good time to combine the tequila and bacon fat. I use a quart deli container with a lid for storage. Little large but whatever. Infuse the tequila: Let the tequila and bacon fat mixture sit for at least 2-4 hours, or overnight if possible on the counter. This will allow the flavors to wed together and infuse the tequila with the sweet yet smoky, savory taste of bacon. Separate the fat: After the infusion period, place the container in the freezer for a few hours or overnight. I like a 24 hours day. The bacon fat will solidify and rise to the top, making it easier to remove. Check periodically. I did the first time I made it to make sure it was working. Strain the tequila: One hunk of fat is removed from the top, then the liquid needs a strain. Using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the tequila to remove any remaining bacon fat. This will result in a smooth and pale yellow bacon-infused tequila. The filtering process can sometimes be a repeat two to three times situation but after magnifique. Worth the extra effort. Your bacon fat-washed Reposado tequila is now ready to be used in this cocktail or enjoyed neat or on a rock(s). For the cocktail I don’t have a name for this one. I’ll call it “The Quick Test.” You will either love it or hate it. If you have reached this far in the post, I’m guessing you’re going to try it and I’d say, love it! Ingredients 3 oz of fat washed tequila 1 bar spoon of fresh squeezed lemon juice 1/4 oz maple syrup 1 bar spoon (teaspoon) of agave Squeeze of orange to finish 1 stick of bacon 1 brûlée dehydrated orange Method Add a large ice cube to a bucket glass and set it aside. In a tin shaker, add all the other ingredients except the bacon strip and dehydrated orange. Give it a wake-up shake (or two) and pour it into the bucket glass. Squeeze a wedge of orange over the top, then add the bacon strip and dehydrated orange wheel. Glass: bucket glass Garnish: bacon dehydrated orange wheel Bar Chef Notes: maple agave candied oranges are also a great garnish if having the fat washed tequila on ice only. The fat clump that formed from the freezer can be removed by hand or using tongs. Where to buy the goods? Strainers, tins, cheese cloth, bar books, and stuff?

The Campari Smash Don’t you want to dive into this glass? A burst of berry goodness awaits with this Campari Smash. It’s a vibrant, not-too-sweet, and refreshing cocktail ready to be enjoyed. This drink could have gone a couple of ways: one with only sparkling water and two (what I chose) is to add a little sparkling water and top the rest of this baby off with a brut champagne. Billecart-Salmon brut champagne is my choice for this one. While it may be tempting to skip the sparkling water altogether, keep it. It’s a good addition. Cheers to this summer’s patio pounder! Before we settle into the patio chairs and cheers, let’s discuss Campari for those of you just joining the blog and may not be familiar with it. Campari is a popular Italian aperitif, similar to its cousin Aperol. Campari is more vibrant in red color compared to Aperol, which is more orange, and has a slightly higher alcohol content, offering more complexities with hints of citrus and considerably more bitter notes. Some say it’s an acquired taste, but I find it to be divine really. You’re going to love it! The Campari Smash Ingredients 1 cup of mixed strawberries and blueberries 2 ounces of Campari (I always pour this one with the heart) 1 can of sparkling Pellegrini top off 1 bottle of champagne (I use Billecart-Salmon brut for this one) to top it all off, noting that you won’t use the whole bottle for one drink, I mean..depends the size of the glass maybe 1/4 slice of an orange to squeeze over the finished cocktail Method In a mixing tin add your berries. Muddle berries with a muddler until they are a chunky mush. Add Campari and ice. Shake and garbage dump all contents into a glass. Top with 1/2 ounce sparkling water and fill the remainder of space in the glass with champagne. Squeeze and orange over the contents of the glass. Garnish: None other than the berries in the glass, okay, maybe one more blueberry (for the photo opportunity!) with the optional sugar rim. Glass: Bucket Glass Bar chef note: To muddle means to mash or extract, in this case, juices from the berries into a glass or mixing tin to enhance the flavors of the concoction. Typically, a long, slender stick, preferably one with teeth (I prefer the wooden ones), is best. Testing drinks: one with sparkling water, one with white champagne, one with both, one with more fruit, one with less fruit, and one where I forgot the fruit. Check out the video featuring the drink where I forgot the fruit. Where can you buy the goods? Muddlers, shakers, ice cube molds, coasters, and more?

My Tequila Rosearita Lately, I have been in a freezy frenzy, making so many frozen drinks. While I haven’t been spending too much time beachside, I have been enjoying experimenting with different flavors and ingredients to create unique and refreshing beverages aka (mostly) boozy smoothies. And recently, I also acquired another new machine that had me squealing with excitement upon purchase and I can’t wait to share more about it with you soon. I hope you are (and will be) as excited about these drinks as I am. As for this drink? It’s frozen raspberries blended into a hibiscus honey tea (brewed by me of course using dried hibiscus flowers and honey simple syrup), fresh squeezed lime juice, rose water, Lillet rouge, Angostura bitters, silver tequila, smoked salt, dried rose petals, honey with some more dried rose flowers, and a couple of lime wheels for the garnish (more for the photo than functionality and maybe for chewing the last bit of drink out of). I considered a mezcal tequila split but I was all out of mezcal. Despite the absence of the mezcal in this rendition, it’s just fine as it is. The white non-aged tequila offers a clean kick that allows the tartness of the berries to really shine, raising the question of whether there is any alcohol in this little concoction at all. I’ll let you be the judge. Before we dive into the recipe, you may ask, “What is white tequila?” Allow me. It is aged for about 2 months in stainless steel barrels and comes from the agave plant. It offers a cleaner less robust than when it’s aged. All tequila is made in five states in Mexico. Guanajuato, Jalisco, Nayarit, Michoacán and Tamaulipas. Because of laws, if tequila isn’t made in these states, it can’t be called tequila. Similarly to that of some wines. Now, what is Lillet Rouge? It’s a red aperitif originating from Bordeaux, slightly bitter in taste with notes of citrus peels and honey. Delicious! Delicious! Although I prefer the yellow Lillet and then the rose Lillet on their own, because you wanted to know, this one isn’t bad on its own either but is superb when mixed. Although they could be substituted here, lets don’t mess with a good thing.. My Tequila Rosearita 2 oz (and a splash) of white tequila 1 oz Lillet rogue 1 1/2 oz oz of honey syrup hibiscus tea blend (think Southern sweet tea style) add more or less for desired fluidity and perhaps sweetness 1 1/2 cups of frozen raspberries 1/2 oz fresh squeezed lime juice A few dashes but less than a tablespoon of rose water (make your own or purchase – recipe for making your own from Tatum’s Tiny Kitchen coming soon. Also an excellent skin toner, FYI). Handful of crumbled dried edible rose petals for the glass Two whole edible dried rose buds for the garnish Smoked rock salt and some honey for the glass Method To make the honey syrup, combine a 3:1 ratio of honey to hot water and add a few dried hibiscus flowers. Stir until the honey is no longer thick. Set the mixture aside to cool. Once it has cooled and/or before using, strain out the hibiscus flowers. Using tape, create a V shape in the glass. With a silicone brush (or your use your clean fingers), apply honey between the pieces of tape. Set aside. Pour smoked salt into a saucer and crumble some dried rose petals – they are brittle, so this step should be relatively easy. Then sprinkle the salt rose petal mixture onto the honey area between the tape on the glass, allow to settle a bit and tap to secure adhesion. Remove the tape and set the glass aside once more. Tap again if needed. Add all other ingredients to blending machine and blend until smooth. Pour into garnished bucket glass. Chilled glass is even better but not necessary. Glass: bucket glass Garnish: honey adhesive smoked dried rose petals **Whatever doesn’t fit in the glass can be consumed directly from the blender cylinder. Yup, I was drinking straight from the cylinder contemplating whether to decant it into a garnished glass. #appeovedbytheblonde Where to buy the goods like jiggers, saucers, smoked salt and blending machines?
