A Cocktail For Baudelaire

The Aylesbury Duck is an intriguing vodka from The 86 Firm. In addition they produce a white rum, a beautiful blanco tequila, and a lush, fragrant and refreshing London gin. From the very first sip poured with ease from the bartender-designed neck, (it has two strains extruding from the glass for added safety) to the gradations on the aspect (for the measurement of a punch, little doubt) I do know that this product is fastidiously made. The dimensions and form of the bottle is equally essential. It is round in dimension and is a bartender-pleasing one liter in quantity. It might match simply right into a velocity rack or grace the shelf of the again bar with its good-looking labeling. The label seems like handmade paper with Victorian-esque fonts with the depiction of the Aylesbury Duck and curious writing in regards to the duck and searching, in addition to what it’s made from, on this case wheat and water. However you do not drink writing, nor do you drink fancy bottle types. What you do drink is a fastidiously made vodka not like every other available on the market. However what does this imply? That is what I might name an ultra-luxury product. This vodka is of such top quality that there’s little or no of it to be attained. However you my mates are in luck. Not solely do you will have the nice fortune to learn my phrases of knowledge testifying to the standard of this product, but additionally you’ll be able to discover this ultra-luxury vodka at DrinkUpNY! That is your fortunate day! It is also your fortunate day that you just cooked some candy, golden beets final night time to accompany your roasted rooster. However as a substitute of tossing them right into a salad with a tangle of Mache lettuce and goat cheese such as you often do, this time you’ve got pureed them with a contact of freshly squeezed lime juice and easy syrup. This provides the pureed beets a vivid and citrus pushed taste when combined with this pristine wheat based mostly vodka. Then, as if by magic a frosty Martini glass seems in entrance of you. And trailing down the perimeters of the Martini glass is probably the most elegant of bitters. On this case, I’ve used the historic Jerry Thomas Bitters, comprised of cloves, cardamom, cinnamon and goals. They smear down the aspect of your cocktail glass and lend believable amusement to your style buds. The Aylesbury Duck is certainly an actual duck. I would say it’s fairly a bit bigger than a standard duck and is often hunted for sport, though it is not likely a sport when this massive breed of duck is the scale of a golden retriever. It is exhausting to overlook. There is a phrase that claims: “like a sitting duck”… I do hope ingesting this imaginative vodka is extra amusing than searching the Aylesbury Duck!
