Gypsy Wedding | Cocktail Party

Gypsy Wedding

The Gypsy Wedding (please pardon the somewhat-outdated terminology) is a creative, mystical drink that shows off the massive talent of Death & Co’s Jillian Vose. The ingredients are a veritable grocery list of fruit and herb flavors, but it’s the fresh green grapes that really shine, offset by the enticing caraway flavor of aquavit.

At Death & Co, the drink is served with an optional rim of toasted fennel salt – just fennel seeds toasted for a minute or two, and then ground up and mixed with kosher salt. It’s a wonderful addition, but the drink is still lovely with a simple salt rim, or just served plain.

Ingredients

Instructions

If you’d like to make the toasted fennel salt rim, begin by tossing a pinch of fennel seeds into a small pan (without oil). Toast on medium heat for a minute or two, until they’re more pungent. Grind with a mortar and pestle, in a spice grinder, or under a heavy pan or a big can. Mix with an equal amount of kosher salt. Moisten the outer rim of a cocktail glass with a wedge of lime, and roll the glass in the toasted fennel salt.

To make the drink, first muddle the grapes in a shaker. Add the remaining ingredients and ice, and shake well. Double-strain through a fine mesh strainer into a cocktail or coupe glass (use the prepared glass, if you rimmed it earlier).

Far superior to any other cocktail app

I have only been using the app for a short time but already I can tell that it is far superior to any other cocktail app I have used until now. The user interface is easy to use and visually appealing, and the search function displays recipes as you type which will make this app easy and fast to use. Highly recommended for use as a bartender or server, or at home making drinks for a party or night in. The developer also promises recipes added regularly and the customer support is second to none.
