Rye (Secale cereale) is a grass grown extensively as a grain and forage crop. It is a member of the wheat tribe (Triticeae) and is closely related to barley and wheat. Rye grain is used for flour, rye bread, rye beer, vodka and great whiskeys.
Here is to a life filled with love, alcohol and clothes on the floor!
I wanted to be in Red Hook today. I wanted to go to the Barnacle Parade. I wanted to surprise the crew at Fort Defiance and have a tiki drink with Zac Overman. I wanted to shake daiquiris behind the bar. But money, timing and a real bad ear infection seemed to conspire against me. So I made this daiquiri as a whim, inspired by Cassie's, my co-worker, version with a mist of absinthe in the glass and the white rum split with Red Hook riesling. Yes! A wine cocktail! And its delicious! Below is the recipe and the video I made to send to St John and Zac at the Fort.
Barnacle Daiquiri
1 oz Red Hook Riesling 1 oz white rum 3/4 oz simple syrup 1 oz lime juice mist of absinthe Shake all but absinthe and strain into a chilled cocktail glass misted with absinthe. Yhay Absinthe!
