  • Cocktails from the Future
    Some historians will tell you that the first cocktail was made in 1586 on board Sir Francis Drake’s ship stranded near Havana. The sailors were too sick to sail, so according to legend, Drake mixed together “local medicines such as mint, lime, bark from the chuchuhuasi tree soaked in rum, and cane sugar.” The resulting “El Draque” might not have tasted great, but it allegedly cured his sailors. This improvised concoction of ingredients (a likely precursor to the mojito) set the stage for nearly 500 years of spirited ingenuity. In the next decade, the ingredients we’ll have on hand to make cocktails will be drastically different: lab grown egg whites in your gin fizz, climate change fighting perennial wheat in your beer, or entirely new and unexpected recipe combinations designed by artificial intelligence to reduce food waste or maximize flavor. Getting creative with future cocktail recipes can help us think about how best to meet urgent, global challenges that extend well beyond how to sail our stranded ship back home. 1 These recipes are inspired by a newly released report from Institute for the Future’s Food Futures Lab, Food Innovation: Recipes for the Next Decade. You can download the full report at www.iftf.org/foodinnovation The recipes highlight ingredients that are today’s signals of change—small or local innovations that have the potential to scale and transform the global food system. These signals are emphasized in bold in each recipe. However, these recipes are artifacts from the future. While all of the ingredients are real companies and products today, some are still in development or are not yet commercially available.

  • Gin Or Vodka Grog
    Memorial Day…Celebrating the Red, White and Blue Memorial Day is the perfect time for simple, low ABV, thirst-quenching drinks. Since beer says summer and barbecues, nothing is better than celebrating the weekend with beer cocktails. The classic is the Shandy – equal parts lemon soda and beer. But you can get really creative by just combining your spirit of choice, fruit juice, simple syrup and beer. One of our favorite beers, Highwheel Betty, is a Kölsch style brew from San Antonio. Mexican beers are a good alternative and also Dogfish Namaste. For spirits, we use gin, vodka, tequila, and Kinsman Rakia – an apricot eau de vie. Here’s a glass lifted to all those service men and women who gave their all! For recipes, scroll down or clink the links. Old Glory Kinsman Grog Old Glory Gin or Vodka Grog Old Glory Tequila Grog Gin and Beer Tonic Kinsman This cocktail is refreshing and light. The taste is apricot, lemon and beer. To create this cocktail, I tried first lemon, then lime then grapefruit juices. I put a splash of Rakia in a shot glass along with each different juice and simply tasted them. After making the choice of lemon, I added the Rakia and lemon juice to a shaker without ice. To that I added 1/4 oz simple syrup and tasted the drink. I felt it needed more simple so I added another 1/4 oz. This taste was slightly sweet – which means the finished cocktail, after chilling, will be well balanced. You can use the same methods to create cocktails with the other spirits below.
