Dusted Mums

     Playing around with a few ideas for beer cocktails for the impending summer patio season we tried a plethora of combinations.  Wanting to show the amazing German doppelbock style I chose to use Wasatch Devastator Double Bock. A couple different combinations and the final yeh, Mt. Falernus.

Mt. Falernus
0.75 oz. Captain Morgan Black Spiced Rum
0.75 oz. Velvet Falernum
top 4 oz. Wasatch Devastator



For the second round of Dante approved beer cocktails we revert to the first delicious libation, Dusted Mums. I wanted to exemplify the delicate nuances of the Mid-American IPA. It is definitely a great IPA for beginners as it is not nearly as aggressive as your everyday IPA, a great product to play with. The first thing that came to mind was to mix it with our recently finished barrel-aged Chrysanthemum cocktail, a great cocktail I'm sure will yield. And was I right;

Dusted Mums
1.5 oz. Barrel-aged Chrysanthemum cocktail
     (2oz. Dolin Blanc Vermouth, 1 oz. Benedictine, 3 dashes Absinthe)
               -  age 2-3 months in a charred oak barrel
top with 3 oz. Cropduster Mid-American IPA
