With all the Oscar Buzz this weekend we
couldn’t help but join in the excitement - two cocktail recipes crafted especially
for Fresh + Twist readers … we have a his and hers version - for him an ‘Oscar's Old
Fashioned’ and for her the ‘Oscar Crush’. Enjoy!
Oscar Crush
1 oz Vodka (or flavored vodka)
1/2 oz fresh lemon
1/2 oz simple syrup
1 oz ruby red grapefruit juice
1/2 oz St. Germain liquor
Champagne to fill
Take a lemon or lime wedge (any citrus will do) and moisten the rim of the champagne flute. On a plate, pour a small amount sugar. Lightly place the edge of the champagne flute in the sugar mix, evenly spin the glass around to create a balanced sugar rim. In a mixing glass, add all ingredients, except champagne, over ice. Stir. Strain into a champagne flute. Slowly add champagne to fill. Garnish with grapefruit twist.
Oscar's Old Fashioned
1 sugar cube
2 dashes grapefruit bitters
2 dashes angostura bitters
2 oz 100% Anejo Tequila
In an old fashioned glass, place a sugar cube. Add 2 dashes of angostura bitters & 2 dashes of grapefruit bitters. Add a cap full of club soda, then muddle the cube until it breaks up. Add the Anejo tequila. Stir until the sugar is slightly dissolved. Add ice, and stir some more. For a garnish, zest the top of the cocktail with a twist of grapefruit rind / orange rind or lemon rind. Add maraschino cherries to garnish. Drink and Enjoy!
