Lush Life
To be a lush chef, does not mean to drink in excess - this can result in scary fires and bad dishes. A lush chef is one who enjoys gourmet cooking/baking, often with fresh ingredients and the smart use of one's home bar. If there happens to be half a bottle of beer, a glass of wine, or a sip of brandy left over...well, one cannot be wasteful. I give you permission to imbibe.

The Sidewalker
1:00 PM
Now that the sun is setting earlier and the weather is getting chillier, sometimes all I want to do on a Friday night is stay in, watch a movie and have a cocktail. When I saw this cocktail recipe come through my inbox via Gilt Taste, I couldn't wait to make it. This Sidewalker, made by Damon Boelte from Brooklyn's Prime Meats, has so many elements of fall—apple brandy, maple syrup, beer (good anytime of year). I wasn't sure how all the ingredients were going to come together, but I'm always willing to experiment. There's been a resurgence of including vinegar or "shrubs" (a combination of vinegar, fruit and sugar) in cocktails as mixologists hit the history books for inspiration. The flavor reminded me of a sour beer, and American Trilogy and I slurped this down with sushi while we caught the first couple of hours of Ken Burns' "Prohibition."
The Sidewalker - serves 1
- 1 oz Applejack
- 3/4 oz lemon juice
- 1/2 oz maple syrup
- 1/4 oz apple cider vinegar
- 1 bottle cold wheat beer (I used Blue Moon Hefeweizen)
- Lemon wedge, to garnish
- Strain the mixture into a chilled, tall glass.
- Top with the beer and garnish with a lemon wedge.
