Tick of the Clock | Cocktail Party

Tick of the Clock

This recipe’s got moxie – just look at how much bitters it calls for! It’s a bold invention by mixologist Joe Robinson at Detroit’s Standby bar & restaurant.

This recipe also calls for a generous portion of ginger syrup, but it’s highly dependent on the sweetness of your ginger syrup. If yours tastes like candy, put a little bit less in your mix.

Ingredients

Instructions

Shake with ice and strain into ice-filled short glass. Slap a sprig of mint between your palms to release the fragrant oils, and tuck it into the edge of the glass.

Get the App

The Cocktail Party app puts this drink – and hundreds more – in your pocket, and tells you what you can make from the ingredients you have at home. It's the best $3.99 you'll ever spend on a drink.

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.
