Hemlock Recipe
Mix in a shot glass, start with Jagermeister.
Poison Hemlock is lethal poison, but Hemlock tea made by steeping the needles of the Eastern Hemlock that grows all across Central Canada and the United States, in hot water, is a pine flavoured tea for the winter days. The Eastern Hemlock is a large tree and is unrelated to the Poison Hemlock herbaceous flowering plant which is a much smaller plant,
The poison hemlock plant is a close cousin of the fennel plant and the taste of poison hemlock is thus often confused with the taste of fennel, and mentioned to taste like liquorice since fennel has a deep liquorice flavour. The actual taste of poison hemlock is not confirmed and over the centuries several mentions of a sweet taste has been noted, and no part of this plant smells like liquorice.
So, evidently, a cocktail with the strong anise and liquorice flavour of Jagermeister, and a fruity, sweet and earthy Tequila being named after Hemlock, is either from the misconception that Poison Hemlock tastes like Liquorice or is inspired by the other Hemlock, the Eastern Hemlock, the needles of which when brewed has a piney aroma. The herbal texture of the cocktail and the greenish-brown colour probably reminds one of the tea of the Eastern Hemlock, on a winter day.
NOTE: This cocktail however, has a popular culture reference in the cult Hollywood cineme, Top Gun. Where Charlie says "I\'ll Have What He\'s Having. Hemlock, Is It?"
Charlie ( Kelly McGills ) mentions Hemlock as an analogy to the death of Socrates, who drank hemlock to commit suicide, at the airport bar. Pete Mitchell (Maverick) was so depressed over the death of Goose that Charlie felt it was a good idea to bring it up.
This is the cocktail that was being referred to, by Charlotte "Charlie" Blackwood.
Jagermeister
Jägermeister is a German digestif made with 56 herbs and spices. It was developed in 1934 by Wilhelm and Curt Mast. Mast-Jägermeister SE is a German liquor company owned by the Findel-Mast family,
Jägermeister is 70 US Proof ( 35% ABV )Tequila
Tequila is a distilled beverage, made only from a specific cultivar of Agave Tequilana called 'Weber Azul' or Blue Agave, native to the states of Jalisco, Colima, Nayarit and Aguascalientes in Mexico. The Blue Agave grows above an altitude of 1500 m and are juicy succulents with spiky fleshy leaves.
Tequila is made around the city of Tequila 40 miles northwest of Guadaljara, and in the Jaliscan Highlands of Central Western Mexico. Mexican laws state that Tequila can only be produces in the state of Jalisco and a few limited municipalities in the other Blue Agave growing regions.
Tequila is 35% to 55% Alcohol by Volume (70 and 110 U.S. proof), it must be at least 40% ABV to be sold as Tequila in the USA.
Tequila is a distilled derivative of the pre-Columbian fermented beverage called pulque, made from the Agave plant. When the Spanish conquistadors ran out of their brandy, they started distilling Agave to produce a distilled spirit. This by 1600s was what Don Pedro Sánchez de Tagle, the Marquis of Altamira, began mass-producing in his distillery near modern day Jalisco and came to be known as Tequila.Lime Juice
Lime Juice being rich in Vitamin C is an excellent remedy for sore throat and aids in digestion and controls blood sugar, and also promoted weight loss. It is used for various culinary and non-culinary purposes all over the world. Lime juice is known to reduce or even reverse the effects of excessive alcohol consumption and intoxication.
The difference between Lime Juice and Lemon Juice is that although the sweet and sour Lemon and the bitter and sour Lime are two different fruits, they have similar properties and tastes similar too, the Lime, unlike the sweet and large Lemon, is used raw and is usually plucked green and has more bitterness and sourness in it's taste, and is grown better in tropical and sub-tropical climates.
In drink mixing, fresh lemon juice brings a tangy zing to so many classic drinks and in fact, it's the most used ingredient in drink mixing other than the liquors of course.
