THE STOVEHETTA
a lovely summer cocktail
syd's simple syrup
8 oz. white granulated sugar
8 oz. water
3 slices of lemon, don’t squeeze
3 or more mint leaves, like chocolate or pineapple, regular can do
place all in a bowl, bring to a boil, reduce to simmer and cook for about 30
min., remove and cool. stir to make sure you have a good blend, then strain
into a bottle for bartending
the stovehetta
go around the rim of the glass with lemon, then take 2 part coarse sea salt
and 1 part sugar, mix together and roll the glass rim around to coat the
outer edge, set aside
can yield one big drink or two smaller ones
6 leaves of chocolate mint
6 leaves of pineapple or spearmint
2 leaves of opal basil
do a quick muddle to release the flavors
3 slices lemon, seeds removed
2 slice lime, seeds removed
1 tbl. sugar
2 oz. of simple syrup
2 oz. sweet and sour mix
add these to the shaker with the mints and add ice half way
up
3 oz. skyy vodka,
1 oz. citrus or lemon vodka,
with all ingredients in the shaker, shake vigorously so as to
get super cold, get some cloudiness from the beating of loveliness and pour
into a tall glass garnished with a sprig of mint sprits with simple syrup
and then tossed in sugar to coat a bit, stick it in the glass, then pour the
nectar of the godds right in there.
now, top with a splash of carbonated bottle water and garnish with a sprig
of opal basil with the bloom if u got it and a slice of lemon, now-drink it
up, I like to take the buds or seeds from the bloom and stir into my stove-jita
and it is delicious, the end.
