Grey Goose's Great New Summer Cocktails

Filed under: Spirits


Grey Goose, the super-premium vodka blended and bottled in the celebrated Cognac region of Western France, has come up with some suitably chic new summer cocktails for refreshing oneself in high style. Grey Goose Master Mixologist Nick Matoune foraged at local greenmarkets and farm stands for fresh ingredients including fruits, herbs and berries for his latest concoctions: The L'Orange Carlyle Cocktail, Le Citron Kirby, La Poire Goldenrod, Pink Cadillac, and Heather 81. "I use freshly made, freshly squeezed, freshly picked ingredients for most of my drinks, which is not as complicated as it sounds," Matoune tells Luxist - a philosophy we espouse ourselves. "These drinks are crisp and refreshing and highlight the natural bounty of summer. The simplicity of the ingredients belies the layers of complexity inherent in their subtle, natural flavors." See the gallery for photos and recipes and get ready for some seriously mouthwatering mixology.


The Rise of Molecular Mixology

Filed under: Spirits

If you thought chemistry was limited to just science class, think again. Bartenders are becoming masters of molecular mixology as new ways to transcend liquid beverages through texture, density and viscosity become all the rage. Whether liquors are frothed, foamed, gelled or frozen they add something unique and special to the typical cocktail. Edible pearls made from vodka and cranberry juice make the Caviar Eben Freeman's Cape Codder created for New York's wd-50 just one of the many exciting concoctions. Delish!
