密歇根新闻广播 用Faygo苏打汽水制作酒饮料(在线收听

 

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

Tammy first thought of Faygo's Creme Soda because of its vanilla 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 syrup. 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 decided 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 alcoholic thing they couldn't get anymore since this happened during Prohibition, 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 sip them anywhere you like.
