Show Notes for Episode 18 - Modern Folklore #3 Feb 03, 2019

Show notes

Here's where we tell you how to find the recipe for the Old Fashioned, the tales we told, and the podcast we mentioned!

Also, we have a merch shop finally! Find it here: https://folkloreontherocks.threadless.com/

The Booze:

The Old Fashioned 1 sugar cube (which is 3/4 to 1 tsp loose sugar) 2 oz rye or bourbon whiskey (we're using Maker's mark, which is a Kentucky bourbon) 2-3 dashes of Angostura bitters (some people like original, some orange, some a combo) A splash of water Garnish with Orange peel

Add the sugar to a glass, then add the bitters and just enough water to wet it down (the water is just there to help the bitters). You want it to dissolve completely - never just dump sugar into the drink. If you're using a sugar cube, crush and muddle it into the liquid. Some people just use simple syrup - whatever floats your boat. Experiment and see what you like to do. Then add a large ice cube or two (these melt more slowly), pour in the whiskey, and stir. Then, take your orange peel and twist it over the glass to get the oil into the drink. You can rub the peel over the rim for extra flavor if you'd like, and then drop it in.

Show Notes for Episode 16 - The Ijiraq Jan 20, 2019

Show notes

Join us on a journey to the Arctic tundra to explore the shapeshifting, red-eyed, half-man / half-caribou Inuit creature known as the Ijiraq. Lost in the snow? Could be the Ijiraq misleading you. Disappeared for a while and don't know where you've been? The Ijiraq probably abducted you. Come listen and find out more!

The Booze:

½ cup whipping cream 2 Tbsp + 1 tsp maple syrup 2 oz Canadian whisky (we used Crown Royal) 1 dash Angostura aromatic bitters, optional 4 - 6 oz hot strong coffee, preferably good-quality

1. Using a whisk, electric mixer or stand mixer, whisk whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Whisk in 2 Tbsp maple syrup. Set aside. If making ahead, whipped cream will keep well, covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days. 2. Add whisky, 1 tsp maple syrup, and bitters to a heat-proofed mug. Pour in coffee. Top with a dollop of the maple whipped cream.
