Add some ice to the ingredients within, shake for 10-15 seconds and strain into the required glass. Simple. Strainer Right after the cocktail shaker comes the strainer. Some shakers have a basic strainer built in, but to catch all those ice lumps or fruit pieces you don’t want in your finished product, a simple strainer suffices.

  • Dale Degroff Holiday Cocktails
    Dale DeGroff Holiday Cocktails UNCLE ANGELO’S EGG NOGG (1 batch 8 to 12 people) My Great Uncle Angelo Gencarelli’s recipe appeared on the Four Roses whiskey bo!le for years in the 1950’s. What makes it so special is the lightness: two parts milk to one-part heavy cream. The yolks and the whites are separated and the egg whites whipped stiff are folded into the finished eggnog like clouds above a sea of nog... INGREDIENTS# 6 eggs (separated)† 1 quart milk 1 pint cream 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg 3/4 cup sugar 6 oz. old bourbon 4 oz. your favorite medium bodied rum or spiced rum Preparation: Put the whites aside in the fridge. Beat egg yolks well until they turn very light in color, adding half a cup of sugar as you beat. Add the milk, cream and the spirits to finished yolks. Add some grated nutmeg to the batch and stir well. Chill. Just before serving, beat egg whites with 1/4 cup of remaining sugar until they peak. Fold whites into mixture. Grate fresh nutmeg over each cup. † NOTE: As with cooking, raw eggs in cocktails when stored and handled properly are completely safe; in fact, because they are mixed with strong spirits there is an added measure of safety by virtue of the antibacterial properties of strong spirits. hollandamerica.com Dale DeGroff Holiday Cocktails GENERAL HARRISON’S NOG (A nog with no cream or milk products) A personal favorite, adapted from a recipe in Jerry Thomas’s 1862 edition of How to Mix Drinks or The Bon Vivant’s Companion.

    1886 Opening Cocktail Menu By Marcos Tello REGIONAL Huntington Special A delicious blend of Cognac, Crème Yvette and Pineapple. Originally from the Huntington Hotel back when Pasadena was a swank resort community. Rose Parade Punch A lovely little medley of Gin, Roses, Cucumbers and Soda. A punch that we‟ve dedicated to the city‟s New Year‟s Day Parade – Best enjoyed in groups! (Serves 6) Pimm’s “No. 7” Cup Back in the 1880‟s there were many different variations of Pimm‟s Bottled Cocktails, most of which have been lost through the ages. We‟ve developed our own proprietary formula based on Tequila and lengthened it with Grapefruit Soda. Orange Grove Cocktail A special mixture of Gin, California Oranges & Tonic Water. A gesture to Pasadena when it was filled with orange groves as far as the eye can see! SEASONAL Hot Holland Punch Harkening back to the days of Dickens when his skill for throwing extravagant parties, matched his skill of creating delicious bowls of punch. This Dave Wondrich adaptation involves Bols Genever, demarara sugar & spices and is served hot, either a la carte or by the bowl. (Single or serving 6) Hot Cider Toddy This “apple a day” approach to the original “hot toddy” is comprised of Apple Brandy, Maple Syrup, and Fresh Apple Cider. Dale’s Nogg A variation of a recipe by „King Cocktail‟ himself….Mr. Dale DeGroff!
