Heavy Juice Cocktail | A Spirit Forward Libation |

Heavy Juice Cocktail

A good friend Justin and I concocted this libation one day, we named this cocktail “Heavy Juice”.  A very apt name, it looks like boozy orange juice.  The Heavy Juice Cocktail is spirit forward, and wonderfully refreshing.  What makes Heavy Juice a bit different is the use of orange marmalade in the mix in lieu of a simple syrup.

A cut and paste for you party menu:

Really great cocktails are about balance, skill, and quality.  If you think about it that is parable for life, and certainly for cooking.  About 6 months ago my beautiful wife, daughter, and I went to Manhattan, and ended up at a high-end bar called “Death & Co”.   I fell in love, this was cocktail heaven.  My wife purchased their second recipe book for me called the “Cocktail Codex: Fundamentals, Formulas, Evolutions” when we got home.  I learned I knew almost nothing about making a fantastic cocktail.  The great news is it is not very hard to make great ones.  I just needed an honest guide and practice.  One caveat about this book; it is written by skilled bartenders for skilled bartenders.  They have ingredients we mere mortals may never make, but it is very informative.
