My Honey, A Frog, & A Goldfish

Hmm…

“What?  I’m just making a new friend…”

Rosie Schapp wrote a great piece for the New York Times (“How To Build A Solid Drinking Library”).  After taking a peak at “The Goldfish” (Adapted By Gary Regan), I knew I had to make one.  And, I will make one as soon as possible.  I just need to get my hands on a bottle of Goldwasser.

The Goldfish
(Adapted by Gary Regan)
makes 1

2 ounces gin
1 ounce dry vermouth
1/2 ounce Danziger Goldwasser

Stir all in a mixing glass. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass.

I have an interesting array of adult beverages.  But, I don’t currently have a bottle of Goldwasser.  Inspired by the above photos, I thought I’d make a twist on this cocktail recipe and call mine The  Tadpole.  Alas, that name is taken.  What to do… what  to do…  I guess I’ll just call this makeshift version “My Goldfish, Oscar”.

My Goldfish, Oscar
makes 2

4 ounces Boyd & Blair Vodka
1/2 ounce dry vermouth
1 ounce Goldschlager

In a mixing glass with ice, combine vodka and vermouth.  Strain and divide equally between two frozen martini glasses.  Float 1/2 ounce of Goldschlager in each glass.

Cheers!

And, a Happy Oscar Weekend to you!
