Pippa’s Pint of Punch

Posted on May 16, 2012 by jessica@twenty2vodka.com| Leave a comment

Have you heard of Pippa Middleton? Apparently she’s quite the hot topic. So, in a shameless attempt to snag some of her Google traffic, we present Pippa’s Pint of Punch, a blend of English spirits, fresh lemon, iced black tea, and of course true micro distilled vodka from Maine, cause that’s what we do. This is also the first recipe that calls for gin…oh the things we do for Pippa….

Recipe Text:

  • In an empty pint glass filled with fresh ice, combine:
  • 1 oz Twenty 2 Vodka
  • 1 oz Pimm’s Number 1
  • 1 oz Beefeater Gin
  • Juice from 1/2 a Fresh Lemon
  • Top off with iced Black Tea
  • Stir to mix and chill
  • Garnish with a lemon wedge

Bloody Harry

Posted on May 14, 2012 by jessica@twenty2vodka.com| Leave a comment

Nobody knows what happened to ol’ Bloody Harry. All that was left was this recipe scribbled on a stained piece of parchment. His spin on the classic cocktail, muddled red pepper and seasoning from the pickle go hand in hand. Spice it up with some Tabasco, and a bit of fresh ground peppercorn if you can handle a little heat.

Recipe Text:

  • In an empty shaker glass,
  • Muddle 1 Roasted Red Pepper (from a jar)
  • 2 oz Twenty 2 Vodka
  • Allow pepper and vodka to sit for ~1 minute
  • Strain into a pint glass filled with fresh ice
  • Top with V8
  • Add a dash or two of Tabasco (to your taste)
  • Garnish with a dill pickle spear

Northern Maine Julep

Posted on May 2, 2012 by jessica@twenty2vodka.com| Leave a comment

Created for the 2011 Kentucky Derby weekend. The best thing with really great neutral vodka is that you can technically substitute it into any cocktail imaginable. But the traditional Mint Julep’s simple mint-sugar-bourbon doesn’t leave much room for substitution without a little supplement. Swap the plain old sugar for some rich turbinado (Sugar in the Raw) and add a dash of mint bitters to truly round out this variation on a classic cocktail. Crazy hat garnish optional.

Recipe Text:

  • In a julep cup (silver or otherwise)
  • Gently muddle 2-3 fresh mint leaves with 1 teaspoon of Turbinado Sugar
  • Add 1 dash of Fee Brothers Mint Bitters
  • Fill Cup with freshly crushed ice
  • Add 2 oz Twenty 2 Vodka
  • Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint

Blue Ribbon Pile Driver

Posted on April 23, 2012 by jessica@twenty2vodka.com| Leave a comment

Since vodka + OJ = a screwdriver, we figured true micro distilled vodka + PBR = Pile Driver. And just like a ‘real’ pile diver, respect the technique and measure your pour for the best results. Nuff said.

Recipe Text:

  • In a frosty pint glass, combine:
  • 1 oz Twenty 2 Vodka
  • 12 oz (can) of Pabst Blue Ribbon
  • Repeat until BBQ gets cold
