Recipe: Bourbon-Pluot Gelato
Recipe Type: Dessert
Author: Tea
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 65 mins
Total time: 1 hour 15 mins
Serves: 6-10 depending on size of scoops.
This is a delicious cool summer treat made with bourbon and pluots.Gelato makers use about 1.5 cups of liquid plus additional ingredients. For a standard ice cream maker, approximately doubling the recipe should work.
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup half & half
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 + 1/4 cup sugar (any kind will do)
  • 2 ripe pluots
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup whole fresh sage leaves
  • 1/4 cup bourbon (I used Buffalo Trace)
Instructions
  1. Tear pluots into small pieces.
  2. Put water, 1/4 cup sugar, sage and pluots in a small saucepan over high heat until water begins to boil and sugar is dissolved.
  3. Turn heat to low, add vanilla. Let cook, stirring intermittently, until pluots have cooked down and liquid has become syrupy. (This can take about 20 minutes
  4. While pluots are cooking, mix milk, half & half, and cream together.
  5. Add sugar and eggs and whisk together well.
  6. Put milk mixture into gelato maker and begin freezing according to instructions.
  7. Remove sage from pluots
  8. Put pluots in freezer and wait until cool
  9. When milk mixture is halfway hardened, stop freezer and add pluots, syrup from pan, and bourbon.
  10. Continue freezing in gelato maker until done.
  11. Eat soft or freeze 2 hours or more for scoopable gelato.

Cocktail Recipe: Basic Black


Recipe Type: Cocktail

Author: Tea

Prep time: 4 mins

Total time: 4 mins

Serves: 1

This drink uses Baladin Spuma Nera, which is a delicious Italian soda.

Ingredients


  • 2 oz Eagle Rare Bourbon

  • 1 oz Cointreau

  • 1/2 fresh ripe pluot

  • 4 basil leaves

  • Baladin's Spuma Nera

  • 1 dash Bittermen's Grapefruit Bitters


Instructions



  1. Tear pluot into small pieces and add to shaker with ice.

  2. Add bourbon, Cointrea, pluot, and basil

  3. Muddle well until pluot is nicely pulped

  4. Shake

  5. Strain into a rocks glass

  6. Top with Spuma Nera

  7. Add bitters







 

notes

Eagle Rare is relatively easy to find. If you cant find it, any quality bourbon will do. I recommend one on the drier side, like Woodford Reserve.
Cointreau is an orange liqueur that is very easy to find, but a touch pricey if you're jut starting out. If the price tag scares you, pick up a bottle of Citronge or even plain old Triple Sec.
Baladin's Spuma Nera is a soda that tastes like an amaro. It is likely to be hard to find. Try an Italian food store. If not, my recommendation would be to just add .5 oz of an amaro (probably Ramazzotti for this one) and use plain club soda.
Bittermen's Grapefruit Bitters might be tricky to find. Replace with any citrus-flavored bitters.
