  • Summary

  • Possibly one of our most favorite cocktails, and it will be yours too. The Brandy Crusta hails from New Orleans, the Fig Crusta hails from Jules’ kitchen. Sip through history with us as we get into the story behind the Brandy Crusta. Stick around for tips on what to do with that bottle of Amaro Nonino that’s collecting dust on your shelf – GASP!!! Brandy Crusta Glass: small stemmed wine glass, goblet, flute, something cool Directions & Ingredients First sugar the rim of your glass by wetting the top with lemon juice (rub a small piece of lemon around the top) and dab the top of the glass into a small pile of sugar on a plate Next, make your garnish by peeling a lemon by going around the lemon. Pick a hemishpere, north or south (because you can make 2 garnishes this way). Next take your peeler and go around the world. YOu should end with a wide strip of lemon. Now, curl the lemon peel and you’ll notice that there seems one side (top or bottom) that is wider than the other – this is good. Curl the lemon so the wide opening is facing up and tuck it into the glass so just a little bit of the crow is showing and you’ve lined the inside of the glass with the peel. Now build your drink! In shaker add: 1.5 oz Cognac or Brandy 0.25 oz Cointreau or Orange Curacao 0.25 oz Maraschnio liqueur 0.5 oz Fresh lemon juice 0.25 oz Rich simple syrup (2:1) 1 dash Angostura bitters 1 dash Cardamon bitters (you can use 2 dash of Ango if you don’t have this) Shake for 20 seconds Double strain through the center of your garnish When you or your guest goes to take their first sip, take a sniff first, then just push the peel down inside the glass, so you don’t slob the drink all over your chin and shirt. Jules’ Fig Crusta Tools needed: Glass: Couple glass please! In your shaker add: 2 oz Cognac ½ oz orange curacao ½ oz lemon juice 1 Fig 1 tbsp Fig Jam ¼ Maraschino liqueur 2 dashes angostura 1-2 sprigs thyme Muddle together Add ice and shake! Double strain into your coupe. Garnish with a fresh fig & thyme! TIP: @czouby What else can I use Amaro Nonino for aside for a paper plane?
