YELLOW JACKET



Yellow Jacket image

The Yellow Jacket cocktail was inspired by chance circumstances and a little harassment. For weeks, we had toyed with the idea of mixing together Partida Reposado tequila and St-Germain elderflower liqueur, but there was a piece of the puzzle missing. Then one evening, a bunch of obnoxious cocktail geeks came into Employees Only to stump the bartenders by ordering the Last Word cocktail. After being satisfied with that drink, they asked if we knew of another drink with Chartreuse. At that moment, Yellow Chartreuse became the ingredient needed to bind together the elderflower and tequila. So pretty and elegant, the rich yellow color grabs your attention. The true beauty of this drink, though, is the interplay of the ingredients. The light oak on the Partida Reposado tequila works so well with the St-Germain, and they in turn produce a perfect ground for Yellow Chartreuse to bring it all into balance. The orange bitters play a key role. This cocktail is similar in style to the Widow's Kiss cocktail (page 141), as they both contain very sweet herbaceous ingredients balanced by high alcohol content. It's named for the yellow jacket wasps that inhabit agave farms and tequila distilleries.

Yield makes 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 ounces Partida Reposado tequila
1 ounce St-Germain elderflower liqueur
3/4 ounce Yellow Chartreuse
1 dash Regan's Orange Bitters No. 6
1 lemon twist, for garnish

Steps:

  • Pour the tequila, liqueur, Chartreuse, and bitters into a mixing glass. Add large cold ice cubes and stir for 40 revolutions. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with the lemon twist.
  • Dominant Flavors: lemon oil on the nose followed by roasted agave
  • Body: full, honeyed mouthfeel
  • Dryness: medium to off-dry
  • Complexity: high
  • Accentuating or Contrasting Flavors: floral, earthy, and herbal notes surround agave
  • Finish: long, honeyed with slight bitter orange overtones
  • Glass: cocktail

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is essential for making a delicious gazpacho. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slightly sweet smell.
  • Use a variety of colors of tomatoes. This will add visual appeal to your gazpacho. You can use red, yellow, orange, and even green tomatoes.
  • Don't over-seed the tomatoes. Removing the seeds will make the gazpacho smoother, but it's important to leave some seeds in for flavor.
  • Chill the gazpacho before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and will make the soup more refreshing.
  • Serve the gazpacho with a variety of toppings. This could include croutons, chopped cucumber, diced avocado, or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

Gazpacho is a delicious and refreshing soup that is perfect for a summer meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a light and healthy meal, give gazpacho a try!
