Door 74 | Cocktail Party

Door 74

Vermouth can be a hard sell for our less-cocktailian friends; many folks have only had foul-tasting, oxidized stuff from dusty bottles well past their expiration. If you’re looking to win people over to the magic of vermouth, you could do worse than the Door 74, a beautiful ruby gem from Ted Gallagher at Boston’s Deep Ellum.

Here, dry vermouth provides a crisp, intriguing backbone to flavors of apple and citrus. The botanicals play well with orange flower water and the anise notes of the bitter, while the low proof of the vermouth keeps the drink light and sippable.

This app ROCKS!!!

I've used a number of mix drink apps, and this one is by FAR the BEST! I've made a couple dozen drinks so far, and they're delicious. It suits my quality wants while (more importantly) suiting my inherent laziness. You put in what you have on hand, and it automatically lists all the drinks you can make! There's info on all the ingredients, which is pretty neat to learn some backstory. What I truly like is I can click an ingredient and it shows how many more drinks I can make. It's pretty fun picking up a new item and seeing 8 new drinks to try. There's a setting on the iPad that locks the app on so people can switch on the mixing app without letting anyone out of it, so I leave it by the bar and people can use it without worry of people snooping around. ;) The combination of all the drinks and this app that makes searching for, and making a drink, easy peezy lemon squeezey, and gives a real feeling of sophistication.
