This weeks episode: WHISKEY SMASH & JALAPEÑOS

Whiskey Smash

In 1887 this drink was all the rage, and once you've had it you'll understand why here is the current version of this well-balanced beverage:

Ingredients:

• 3 wedges Lemon 
• 4 Mint leaves
• 3/4 oz Simple syrup
• 2 oz Bourbon (or Whiskey, Rum, Gin you name it)
• Garnish: Mint

Directions:

• Muddle the lemon in a shaker, that just a fancy way to say smash the shit out of your lemons.
• Add the remaining ingredients and shake, I choose not to add ice in the shaker but you are welcome to do that.
• Double-strain and pour into a rocks glass filled with ice so that smashed beverage cools itself on the ice..
• Slap a mint sprig between your hands and use as garnish on this delightful summer smash.

JALEPEÑO PEPPER CHUTNEY:

Slice a jalapeno in half, touch the inside with your (clean) pinky finger and touch it to your tongue. Does it burn? Then you should make this chutney! If it doesn't....its jalapeño poppers time!

Ingredients

• 3 jalapeños, roughly chopped
• 1/2 small onion
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/2 tsp salt

Add all the ingredients in a food processor and puree! This chutney can be serve as an accompaniment to Kebabs or fried snacks, or added to eggs, stews and salsas! It'll keep for a few months....but why should it?? GET IN THERE!
