Kraken Up

Kraken Rum..It’s dark, it’s spicy and comes with a vanilla finish.

I juiced the most beautiful pink grapefruits, then strained. Then I grated (with a cheese grater) fresh ginger. After hand squeezing the ginger juice into the grapefruit juice, I muddled sugar with the ginger pulp, infusing the two and triple straining them all together with the grapefruit mixture. I then added the Kraken Rum (1 part rum to 2 parts of the mix) and cracked ice into a glass. I added mint and crushed the two together with my muddler creating a mint ice slush to pour the mix over.

This cocktail was spicy, refreshing and delicious. Thanks to The Juice Box Wine & Spirits for featuring my creative mixing skills on the barrel! -Courtney K.

Christmas Techno?!?!

Remixes of classic songs tend to be pretty cheesy and a little off, I rarely find one that I want to play. A few years back, I was surprised by a charming minimal techno track from Mollono Bass (a Qno original) that hits the remix sweet spot and makes a classic song from the Christmas ballet The Nutcracker bouncy and dance floor worthy. It has a slow start, give it a chance, give it a dance and tell us what you think. Can you see the sugar plum fairy dancing?

Merry Holidays.

The Fresh Forester – A fresh ginger citrus cocktail like no other

We had the best time today making “The Fresh Forester” cocktail for our neighbors at the The Juice Box -a specialty wine and liquor store located just a short walk from TGGR headquarters. Here’s the exact recipe created by TGGR’s own Courtney K and Julia Marie, perfect for a hot summers day. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • Fresh Ginger
  • Sugar (large granule is ideal)
  • Lemon juice
  • Lime juice
  • Soda Water
  • Hendricks Gin 
  • Cucumber (aromatic)
  • Rosmary (aromatic)
Juice the lemon and lime and set aside. In a rocks glass muddle a few slices of peeled fresh ginger with 2 teaspoons of sugar (more or less to taste). Add 1 part lemon/lime juice and 1 part Hendricks Gin. Add ice, 3 parts soda water and finish with a slice of cucumber and a sprig of rosemary. ENJOY!
TIP-For a little something extra, try a splash of June liqueur. 

(The Juice Box is located at in the Windsor Terrace/Park Slope neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY. For more information or directions to the store, please visit their Facebook page or Yelp page here.
