Barrel-Aging Signature Cocktails Guide
Now that you’ve spent a year perfecting the classic cocktails, it’s time to up your game by mastering signature cocktails.
VODKA + LIMONCELLO ESSENCE (4 WEEKS)
Alcohol essences are used in a neutral spirit like vodka or moonshine. Here we are starting our flavour profile with Limoncello, check out our Limoncello recipe here. What we’re doing is instilling the intense lemon notes in our barrel that will come through later in our Mandarin Negroni.
MANDARIN NEGRONI (4 WEEKS)
While taking advantage of the lemon flavours from our previous batch, we are aiming to make a more spicy and citrusy Negroni. We start by infusing Mandarin tea into the gin we will use alongside Dolin Sweet Vermouth and Campari. You can see our Mandarin Negroni recipe here.
BERZERK COFFEE (3-4 WEEKS)
Here is a special treat, by using our 5:1 coffee concentrate, you’ll be able to age your cold brew coffees this summer while also imparting delicious, robust coffee flavour into your wood. Grab our Berzerk Coffee Concentrate here. Once you’ve completed aging your coffee concentrate, enjoy it as an alcoholic or non-alcoholic specialty coffee, or as a refreshing cold brew.
COCONUT AND BANANA ESSENCE (2 WEEKS)
We’re building off the coffee flavours we’ve stored in our barrel and adding the sweet notes of coconut and banana. These flavours will stand out in the finish of our next cocktail.
