Episode 33: No More Sex with Alligators - feat. Brian Lindsay

The Nooga Belle Podcast

We're closing out 2018 the right way—with three craft cocktails cooked up by local mixologist and "lifter of spirits" Brian Lindsay. We feature two locally-made spirits, Lass & Lions vodka and J.W. Kelly bourbon, and talk about building a cocktail program and the importance of supporting local brands.

Try these cocktails at home and drink with us! And help me name the first one.

CHAI SPICE

• 1.5 oz Lass & Lions Desire vodka (or your favorite vanilla vodka)
• 0.5 oz chai simple syrup (2 cups sugar, 1 cup water, 2 chai tea bags)
• 2 oz. cold-brew coffee
• 2 dashes orange Angostura bitters
• Ice

Pour all ingredients into a jar or shaker. Stir gently to combine. Strain into rocks glasses and enjoy.

BIG O MANHATTAN

• 2 oz. J.W. Kelly bourbon (we used Old Milford)
• 0.75 oz Big O ginger liqueur
• 1/8 oz. sweet vermouth
• Ice

Pour all ingredients into a jar or shaker. Stir gently to combine. Strain into rocks glasses and enjoy.

SMOKIN' CUBAN

• 1.5 oz Smokehead scotch
• 0.5 oz chai simple syrup (same as above)
• 2 dashes orange Angostura bitters
• Mexican Coke to top
• Squeeze of lime

Pour all ingredients straight into a rocks glass. Top with Mexican Coke. Stir gently to combine. Drink and enjoy.
