deluxe mixology

deluxe | mixology  was called upon to help bring in the New Year by mixing at a fun-filled party downtown! It was a smaller gathering in a hotel suite which provided a more intimate setting but after the spirits started flowing we might as well have been at a bar!  All juices were hand pressed and fresh. Only the best for our friends!

Here’s the menu:

Black Cherry Cosmo

Effen Black Cherry Vodka, Cointreau, cranberry juice, lime juice

Cosmopolitan

Belvedere Vodka, Cointreau, cranberry juice, lime juice

Lemon Drop

Belvedere Vodka, Cointreau, fresh lemon sour

Apple Cran

Belvedere Vodka, apple juice, cranberry juice

Sour Patch Jack

Jack Daniels, fresh lemon sour

Since we use mint leaves for many different drinks, I thought it wise to buy a mint plant. This ensures we have the freshest ingredients available for our drinks and cost about the same as buying a small bundle of mint leaves. I picked this one up at Trader Joe’s for about $3. I can already smell that spearmint in my juleps and mojitos! Just don’t forget to water it every few days!

Here’s a tip too: if you plan to buy mint, make sure you purchase spearmint. It’s leaves are bigger and thus contain more mint oil for your drinks. Peppermint leaves are smaller and not as fragrant.

deluxe | mixology wants to wish all of our friends and supporters a very Happy Thanksgiving! We are thankful for you! Enjoy this special day with family and friends.

Sincerely,

Kevin and Nathan
