密歇根新闻广播 用Faygo苏打汽水制作酒饮料

 

The Cheers! team received a request from a listener. Bruce Schermerhorn asked whether Tammy Coxen with Tammy's Tastings could come up with a cocktail¹ using something from Faygo that would be nice for sipping³ while on his pontoon boat this summer.

Tammy first thought of Faygo's Creme Soda⁴ because of its vanilla⁵ notes. It made her think of a Luau Daiquiri.

I think of it as a Creamsicle daiquiri, she said.

It's basically it's rum, orange juice, lemon juice, and vanilla syrup⁶. Tammy substituted a couple of ounces of Faygo Creme Soda for vanilla and added a couple of dashes of orange bitters (see below). She used a rum from Iron Fish Distillery in Thompsonville, Michigan.

I thought a tall drink would be good for a summer day on the boat, she said.

Not wanting to leave it at that, Tammy decided⁷ she could use another Faygo product for a different cocktail. In 1921, Faygo introduced Rock & Rye, which was the name of a cocktail that used rye, rock candy, citrus, and sometimes some spices. Bartenders would let that combination sit around for a while in a sealed jar and then serve it as a cordial or some version of a cocktail.

We don't know whether they (Faygo staff) were trying to echo the flavor or they were just trying to remind people of an alcoholic⁸ thing they couldn't get anymore since this happened during Prohibition⁹, Tammy said.

Tammy thought it would be funny to make a Rock & Rye and rye in the Old Fashion style. So, she reduced some of the Faygo Rock & Rye into a syrup (see recipe below) and mixed it with some Long Road Straight Rye Whisky made in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

It's definitely more of a rye with Rock & Rye she added.

Bruce Schermerhorn now has a couple of options for his summer sipping on the pontoon boat and you can sip² them anywhere you like.
