Dale’s Julep

Dale’s Julep

The “Dale” in Dale’s Julep is the legend himself: Craft of the Cocktail author and mixological Renaissance man Dale DeGroff.

DeGroff’s simple julep riff brings fresh peach (or nectarine) to the party, amped up with peach liqueur playing the part of the sweetener. A good peach liqueur is essential here; it should be good enough that you’re willing to sip it straight. If you don’t have peach liqueur, syrup fills in nicely – start at half the amount shown in this recipe, and work your way up to your preferred sweetness level.

The original recipe is a little vague on how thick the peach slices should be. We love the peach + bourbon combo, so we go with massive half-inch-thick wedges; DeGroff probably slices his a bit thinner.

Ingredients

Instructions

Place the mint, peach slices, and peach liqueur in the bottom of a mixing glass. Muddle to release the peach juices and the oil from the mint. Add the bourbon (or rye) and stir briefly, then strain into a short glass filled with crushed ice. Stir until chilled. Top up with more crushed ice and garnish with freshly-slapped mint sprigs and another slice of peach.

Gut mit Luft nach oben

Ich war auf der Suche nach einer Cocktail Datenbank mit der ich mir zuverlässig die Drinks anzeigen lassen kann, für die ich auch die Zutaten im Hause habe. Mit Cocktail Flow klappt das leider nicht verlässlich. Dieses Programm macht das vorbildlich und vor allem listet es die Cocktails auch danach auf, wo mir noch eine, zwei usw. Zutaten fehlt. So kann ich auch immer schauen was ich mir ggf. noch kaufen sollte. Die Auswahl an Getränken ist gut, jedoch mit wenig Sirup-haltigen. Hier würd ich mir mehr Rezepte wünschen wo man die div. Fruchtsirupe einsetzen kann. Auch gibt es leider keine Möglichkeit Cocktails als Favoriten zu kennzeichnen oder das Rezept zu exportieren. Da das Programm nur in Englisch ist muss man in der Zutatenliste manchmal googlen was damit gemeint ist. Mit ein paar Rezepten mehr, Favoritenfunktion und Lokalisierung gibt es fünf Sterne.
Translation: I was looking for a cocktail database with which I can reliably display the drinks for which I also have the ingredients in the house. Unfortunately, this does not work reliably with cocktail flow. This program does the exemplary and above all it lists the cocktails also after, where I still missing one, two etc. ingredients. So I can always look what I should possibly buy. The selection of drinks is good, but with little syrup-containing. Here I would want more recipes where you can use the div. Fruit syrups. Unfortunately, there is no way to mark cocktails as favorites or to export the recipe. Since the program is only in English you have to googling in the list of ingredients sometimes what is meant by that. With a few more recipes, favorites and localization, there are five stars.
