Zusatztext "Genius" — Refinery29.com "Exactly what you need for the perfect summer party" — Bustle.com Informationen zum Autor Jerry Nevins is one of the founders of Snow & Co., which has been named the #1 frozen drink bar in the United States by Paste magazine, and has been featured in other media of note, including Shape, the Kitchn, Travel + Leisure, and USA Today. Klappentext From the creators of the Kansas City, MO, bar Snow & Co.--named the #1 frozen cocktail bar in the US--Sloshies is the ultimate ode to summer: a book that teaches you how to make snowy, slushy drinks with a hit of booze. The book presents two easy techniques: one requires mixing ingredients in a metal bowl and putting it in the freezer; the other quickly whips up a batch of drinks using an ice cream maker. Both produce gorgeous frozen cocktails (enough to share with friends) with sophisticated flavors and an unforgettable granita-like texture--a far cry from overly sweet traditional blender drinks or those that separate as soon as they hit the hot summer air. Sloshies offers 102 recipes for cocktails. Organized by flavor, the chapters--Tart, Sweet, Spiced, and Herbal & Floral--are comprised of high-end, ice-cold riffs on traditionally liquid bar offerings, like the Rockefeller, a frozen Manhattan with rye-infused fresh cherries; the Arctic Negroni; the Gin Fizzle, a crisp combo of gin, citrus, and tonic; a shrub-infused Sangria; and the Proud Mary--yes, that's a frozen Bloody Mary. In addition to slushy versions of the classics, there will be recipes for clever Snow & Co. originals like Miss Scarlett, a lovely Southern blend of bourbon and peach liqueur; the Cool Hand Luke, a cucumber liqueur refresher; Almond Famous, a nutty combination of Amaretto and chocolate; the Elphaba, a bewitching (and green!) mix of Prosecco, peach, and melon; and the Dapper Dan, a cider-y fall treat inspired by the flavors of apple pie a la mode. Sidebars--from how to make candied orange peel garnishes to the best way to serve frozen drinks at a party (hint: pick one from each chapter and serve in flights)--will accompany the recipes. Zusammenfassung It’s not your mother’s Piña Colada! Sophisticated, flavorful, with fresh ingredients and the perfect hit of booze, a sloshie is a high-octane slushie—the ideal summer drink that’s a far cry from the cloyingly sweet blender cocktails of yore. Written by Jerry Nevins, cofounder of Kansas City’s Snow & Co.—named the #1 frozen cocktail bar in the United States— Sloshies features more than 100 innovative refreshers guaranteed to jazz up (and cool down) backyard parties, barbecues, or any gathering with family and friends. And they are so easy to make: Based on a simple granita technique, sloshies require little to no special equipment. Just mix the ingredients, stick them in the freezer, and wait until they’re slushy. There’s the tart: the Whisky Smashed, a frozen mint julep; the cucumber-kissed Limey Bastard; and the Sunshine Boulevard, a stone-cold shandy starring beer, vodka, and citrus juice. The sweet: the alluringly exotic Blue Roses (featuring a bouquet of curaçao, vodka, and rose hip liqueur). The spiced and herbal: including a Manhattan with rye-infused cherries, and the Proud Mary—yes, that’s a frozen Bloody Mary. Plus drinks with floral notes, like the Midnight Orchard, a beguiling combination of whiskey, elderflower, bitters, and maraschino, and a few nonalcoholic granitas to refresh the palate. The book includes recipes for the syrups and infused liquors that many of the drinks are built upon, plus information on garnishes, serving suggestions, and other finishing touches. ...
