Forget Kombucha, There's a New Bubbly Probiotic Drink In Town
RECIPE...
Strawberry Kvass, a refreshing fermented beverage, carries with it a sense of time-honored tradition and a punch of bright, berry flavor. Originating from Eastern Europe, Kvass is typically made with rye bread or beets, but this strawberry variant brings in a sweet and tart profile that's perfect for those warmer days. Strawberries, those summer gems, are the star of this recipe. We're talking two pounds of these juicy red delights going into a brew that's nothing short of a fruit lover's dream. And it’s not just a wonderful beverage, it’s an experience. Watching the strawberries releasing their ruby-red juices, seeing the bubbles of fermentation, smelling that sweet aroma—it's all part of the journey.
Now let’s talk about the magic of fermentation. We've got sugar, the fuel for fermentation, dissolved into water, and then poured over the strawberries. It's as simple as that. And what follows next is the most beautiful thing: we stir the mixture thrice a day, getting in there, agitating everything, helping the fermentation along. Over 3 to 5 days, you’ll watch as the natural yeasts get to work, turning that sugar into slightly fizzy, deliciously tart kvass. It's a bit of patience, a dash of magic, and a whole lot of flavor payoff. Remember to pour yourself a glass, kick back, and relish the tangy, fruity goodness of your homemade kvass. Here's to the joy of fermentation and the simplicity of ingredients coming together to create something special.
P.S. Try this out with your favorite fresh fruit, too. I really dig strawberries and pineapple. Get creative. ???????? Adam

Tis the season to make your own kick-ass pumpkin-spiced liqueur!
People will joke about it, people will hate on it. But screw that, it's tasty so have at it. Besides this one is guaranteed to score you some brownie points!
This recipe is designed to macerate quickly so you can have it ready in only a few days and ready for the holidays.
Use whatever brown aged spirit you like. But I suggest a mix of a sweet molasses forward rum and a high ester Jamaican style single pot rum.
The spices are fairly straightforward, I mean its pumpkin spice. We know what is going to be in there. But I do suggest you leave the powders and go with the whole options to make straining easier and for a better flavour.

Unicum review. A Liqueur with 40 herbs and spices?
This is a review of Unicum, a liqueur made by Zwack of Budapest, Hungary. This unusual tipple is considered one of the national drinks of Hungary.
The origin of the company goes back to the 'health tonic' doctor Zwack, which he developed in 1790 for the Royal Court of Hungary.
Unicum is an alcoholic, bitter tincture made up of 40 herbs and spices from all across the world. It has a dark color and it tastes quite bitter. It is aged in oak casks for at at least 6 months before bottling.
We first tried it in Budapest!

Bartending Essentials: How to Make Bitters
Every bartender should know how to make popular bar ingredients, such as bitters! To make bitters, add your 100 proof or 50% ABV spirit and desired ingredients into a jar, label with a date and the ingredients used, then shake your mixtures daily for about two weeks. Once fully steeped, strain your bitters through a cheesecloth into a container and transfer it into a bitters bottle using a funnel.

Cater your bitters to fruity drinks by using a vodka base and lighter flavors such as fruit peels, chamomile, lavender, or lemongrass, or for heavier drinks using a whiskey base and savory herbs like sage, thyme, allspice, or cloves. As a versatile bar ingredient, the options are endless when using bitters. Learning how to make it is a great start for any bartender!
