Danny's Delight Recipe
Wash an old-fashioned glass with bitters and ice. Discard excess. Add vermouth, whiskey and wine. Top with lemonade, to taste, and serve.
Sweet Vermouth
Vermouth the French for German Wermut, Wormwood in English, is an aromatic fortified Wine, flavoured with various botanicals like roots, barks, flowers, herbs, seeds and spices.
Although traditionally Vermouth was used for medicinal purposes, it has been also served as an apéritif in its modern avatar. The modern Vermouth first appeared in and around the 18th Century in Turin. By the late 19th Century it became very popular with bartenders as a key ingredient in cocktail mixology.
Martini, Manhattan, Rob Roy and Negroni were a few cocktails that Vermouth grew in popularity with. But later during the 20th Century, Vermouth slowly lost its glory and Dry Martinis and extra Dry Martinis with little or no Vermouth gained over the original Martini. Modern Martinis usually have a splash of Vermouth to add that herbacious texture to it.
Historically, there have been two Vermouth types, Dry and Sweet, but with demand variations have come up now. that include extra-dry white, sweet white, red, amber and rose.
Vermouth is produced by adding proprietory mixture of aromatic botanicals to a base wine or a base wine plus spirit or spirit only, which is usually redistilled before adding it to a base of neutral grape wine or unfermented wine must ( freshly pressed grapes and the juice ). After the wine is aromatised and fortified. it is sweetened and the end product is a Vermouth.
Dry Vermouth is what makes the character of the original Martini, and a Dry Vermouth has less sugar and is more herbacious but less spicier than Sweet Vermouth.Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey
Irish Whiskey or Uisce Beatha ( same as French Eau de vie or Water of Life ) was the most popular spirit of the world once,
Irish Whiskey was one of the earliest distilled drinks in Europe, it is believed that the Irish Monks brought the technique of perfume distillation back to Ireland from Southern France and modified that to distill drinkable alcohol. The early Irish Whiskey was not what it is today and it was more a distilled whiskey infused with herbs such as thyme, anise or mint.
Irish Mist is a whiskey liqueur created using one such original recipe, but by current standards, although it is created just like early Irish Whisky was made with herbal infusions, it'll be categorised as a liqueur.
Although it seems like Whiskey has been produced in Ireland since 1000 CE but the first written record of it can be found from 1405 in the Annals of Clonmacnoise, that is a good 89 years before Scotland.
Irish Whiskey has a smoother finish as opposed to the smoky, earthy overtones of a Scotch. The smoky overtones in Scoth comes from drying the malted barley using peat smoke, but peat is rarely used in the malting process in Ireland, leaving a few like Connemara peated Irish malt whiskey and Pearse Whiskey.Stones Ginger Wine
Ginger is a flowering plant whose root, the ginger root is a widely used spice and a folk medicine. Ginger is loaded with antioxidants, that eliminates free radical from the body and prevents damage to the body and the DNA. Ginger is a known antiseptic and antibiotic and may help the body fight chronic fatigue and regulate blood pressure.
Ginger being a versatile root, it is used in a variety of cocktails, from the classic Moscow mule and Dark n' Stormy. The punchy root gives a drink a fresh, spicy bite and it pairs with everything from Vodka, Rum to Scotch.Angostura Bitters
Angostura Bitters is a concentrated bitters based on gentian, herbs and spices, from the House of Angostura in Trinadad and Tobago. Note that the Angostura Bitters from the House of Angostura do not contain Angostura bark.
However, Angostura Bitters or Angobitter offered by other brands like Riemerschmid and Hemmeler, contain angostura bark, possibly to justify using the word "Angostura" in their names.Lemonade
This sweetened lemon flavoured beverage is an eternal popular throughout the world and there are varieties of homemade lemonades found everywhere. In North Africa and South Asia, cloudy lemonade dominates, be sure if your cocktail requires a clear lemonade or a cloudy one, which is indication of fruit pulp presence in the mix.
