Double Talk: Mark Steffen & Michael Mandel 3.6.21 Remind Me & Jeez Louise/LCIFF
The Las Cruces International Film Festival starts this week, hosted by Ross Marks and our own Mark Steffen, and maybe Steffen Ross.
Here are the wonderfully named drinks we present with their recipes both from Difford's guide online, added as advised by Bob Libby:
Remind Me - yes, that's the name of the drink
1.5 oz Grappa (a 40% or more clear alcohol from distilled leftover grapes)
2/3 oz Averna, a Sicilian amaro
.5 oz Mandarine Napoleon/can use Cointreau, Grand Marnier or triple sec
Old fashioned glass with a cube
Jeez Louise - another great name for a drink
1 1/3 oz Averna
2/3 oz triple sec/ we used Mandarine Napoleon, it's better and we had it
5/12 oz Cynar (a tad below .5 oz) Cynar is an artichoke based aperitif
2/3 lime juice
1 2/3 oz club soda or tonic, like we used... Fentiman's or any other
highball glass with ice

Double Talk: Mark Steffen & Michael Mandel 2.20.21 Wispy
zhlédnutí 22Před 3 lety
A couple of years ago Violette Cauthon mentioned the breakfast martini to me, saying her son really liked it. It's with marmalade and works well if amply stirred. Her husband recently commented on the show and since he's a great guy I decided to make a drink out of two great liquids: scotch and gin, both powerful on their own. So I tried to coax a wisp of elegance out of it because Ron is all a...
Double Talk: Mark Steffen & Michael Mandel Valentine's day and the Cosmopolitan and SW cocktail
zhlédnutí 13Před 3 lety
Valentine's day is a hallowed holiday. We thought that the cosmo would be appropriate since it was popularized by Sex in the City. We also thought it would be helpful because it's made with cranberry juice, something that helps protect against urinary infections. But don't just trust us, try the experiment for yourselves. The SW cocktail is one reason my wife likes that airline, it's made with ...

Berlioni is gin, Cynar, and dry vermouth-clean crisp and flavorful.
Double Talk: Mark Steffen & Michael Mandel 1.30.21 Crowned King
zhlédnutí 17Před 3 lety
Crowned King is the name of the drink, not a political comment, also from the renowned Simon Difford. It has the combination of sherry, gin, and Luxardo maraschino liqueur that seems to have potential. And we talk about food and government.
Double Talk: Mark Steffen & Michael Mandel 1.23.21The Leon Cocktail
zhlédnutí 13Před 3 lety
We are much better talking about the world situation after creating a new drink. And drinking it. The Leon is an offshoot of last week's cocktail slyly named the Finnish cocktail after the Finnish distillery that inspired Simon Difford to create his Molotov Cocktail. And we all speak pleasantly about all that kinda stuff.
Double Talk: Mark Steffen & Michael Mandel 1.16.21 Finnish Cocktail
zhlédnutí 24Před 3 lety
Considering the week that had just passed when we made the show, the idea of a Molotov cocktail cropped up and although none of my drink books had any mention of a cocktail by that name, Difford's guide online had a recipe based on Simon Difford's visit to a Finnish distillery 3 years ago which was known to have developed the device to throw at Russian tanks attacking Finland during WW2. Each i...
Double Talk: Mark Steffen & Michael Mandel 1.9.21Keyser Söze cocktail
zhlédnutí 16Před 3 lety
This is made with the gentian based liqueur, Suze, a favorite of our friend Beth and me, too. Then it has gin, cognac, and lemon. We try a variation adding a bit of Campari which works. The name comes from the 1995 crime drama "The Usual Suspects." We also talk about the blip in our democracy. Hopefully only a blip.

Double Talk: Mark Steffen & Michael Mandel 12.26.20 Black Velvet: a Prosecco drink
zhlédnutí 25Před 3 lety
Even though this is booked as the Christmas show it was on the day after Christmas so we worked through that and had a bubbly drink preparing for New Year's Eve that was suggested by someone in the Las Cruces American Wine Society monthly tasting, which was Prosecco and Guinness Stout. Not a bad combination.

There's a false start that leads into the real start, so wait a sec. Then see how different qualities of cognac/brandy affect a drink and its drinkers.
Double Talk: Mark Steffen & Michael Mandel 11.28.20 French 75
zhlédnutí 16Před 3 lety
A French 75 is like a salute to a passing of the worst conditions for Thanksgiving ever. A French 75 was a cannon developed in 1894 which had a soft recoil but delivered a punch. Even though we'd done one a while ago and previewed the Italian 75 within the past 2 months, Mark was in the mood for one after seeing it opening up one of his favorite cooking shows.
