THE PUSSYCAT



The Pussycat image

The Pussycat was a cocktail created by Early Times as an instant mixer for their bourbon. It's a sour variant, but it was so much more. Mixing bourbon and sweet and sour doesn't even come close to the miracle of the Pussycat. They even sold Pussycat glasses which were short but tapered, with a short stem. The glass was an excellent marketing coup because it separated the Pussycat from just any "sour" and made it elegant, without looking feminine (short stem, not long, angles and not curves). Anyone could enjoy a Pussycat, and any home bartender could look good making one perfect every time, thanks to the instant drink mix. Alas, the Instant Pussycat is gone leaving us with only memories. Or is it?

Tips:

  • Chill Your Glassware: For a truly refreshing Pink Pussycat, chill your coupe or martini glass in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Use Fresh Citrus: Always use freshly squeezed lemon and lime juice for the best flavor. You can also add a grapefruit twist or orange zest for an extra citrus kick.
  • Choose Your Vodka Wisely: Opt for a high-quality vodka that you enjoy the taste of. A smooth, unflavored vodka will allow the other ingredients to shine through.
  • Don't Skip the Grenadine: Grenadine adds a beautiful pink color and a touch of sweetness to the cocktail. If you don't have grenadine, you can substitute another sweet red liqueur, such as cherry brandy or Chambord.
  • Garnish with a Twist: Finish your Pink Pussycat with a lemon or lime twist. This adds a pop of color and a refreshing citrus aroma.

Conclusion:

The Pink Pussycat is a delightful and easy-to-make cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its vibrant pink color, refreshing citrus flavor, and sweet and tangy finish, it's sure to be a hit with your guests.
