Fly the W Cocktail

In preparation for another game tonight – 3rd game of the National League Championship Series – I asked Ilise to create a cocktail. This will serve functions both medicinal (if the game doesn’t go well) and celebratory (in case, fingers crossed, OMG yay!)
This is a VERY tasty drink, even if you have no interest in the Cubs. Feel free to come up with your own cause for celebration if needed:
  • Let’s Go Rake some Leaves!
  • Let’s Go Trick-or-Treaters!
  • Let’s Go Bears/Packers/Patriots/Vikings!
  • Let’s Go Bartender – another round for my pals, please!

Fly the W Cocktail
Recipe by Ilise Goldberg

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1.5 oz Jack Daniels
  • .75 oz Ginger Liqueur such as Domaine de Canton
  • 1.5 oz Plum Simple Syrup (see recipe below)
  • .25 oz Lemon Juice
  • 2-3 dashes bitters
  • Wedge of Plum (for garnish)
  • Thick piece of lemon peel (for garnish)

DIRECTIONS:
  • In a cocktail shaker combine all ingredients with ice except garnish.  Shake well. 
  • Strain into an old-fashioned glass over fresh ice cube. 
  • Garnish with lemon peel and plum wedge. 
  • ​For a slightly different taste also try it without the lemon juice.
 
Plum Simple Syrup:
  • 2 pound plums cut in quarters (any variety or a combination of varieties)
  • 1 Cup of Water
  • ½ Cup of Sugar
  • Combine the water and sugar in a pan over high heat until the sugar dissolves. 
  • Add the plum chunks and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Once the fruit is nice and tender use a potato masher and mash the fruit to release as much juice as possible. 
  • Remove the mixture from heat and allow it to cool completely.
  • Strain the syrup into a container, and store it for up to two weeks in the refrigerator. 
  • If making far in advance the simple syrup freezes well.
