Best Seattle Alcoholic Mixed Drink Types
MAIN INGREDIENTS
Brut Cocktail is an American mixed drink made with a combination of Angostura bitters, orange bitters, Picon, and French vermouth. In order to prepare it, all ingredients should be stirred with crushed ice, then strained into a cocktail glass.
The cocktail is typically garnished with a squeezed piece of lemon peel. The earliest recipe found for Brut Cocktail appears in William Boothby’s 1908 The World’s Drinks and How to Mix Them.
Royce is an American cocktail made with a combination of cachaça, guava juice, sugar, and slices of orange, lemon, and lime. In order to prepare it, sugar is combined with fruit slices, and the fruit is then pressed to release some of the juices.
Ice, guava juice, and cachaçaare added to the combination, the whole thing is mixed, and then poured into a zombie glass. It is believed that Royce was invented at Liberty Bar in Seattle, and it was named in honor of Royce Gracie, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu fighter.
Italian Buck is a variety of classic buck cocktails that combine ginger beer, citrus juice, and a spirit. This version combines Cynar and Montengero—two bittersweet Italian liqueurs—along with fresh lime juice and ginger beer.
It results in a fizzy, subtly bitter drink. To make the cocktail, Cynar, Montenegro, and lime juice are shaken with ice, and the mix is then strained into a collins glass. The combination is then topped with ginger beer. Italian Buck was created by Jamie Boudreau at Canon, Seattle.
It was later published in Parsons's Amaro.
