Episode 19: The One-Bottle Cocktail with Maggie Hoffman

Bit by a Fox Podcast

For this week’s episode, we feature Maggie Hoffman and her recent book “The One-Bottle Cocktail”, a collection of drinks recipes with a seasonal and culinary bent that focuses on using just one type of spirit per drink.

We spoke about what ingredients can replace liqueurs and amaros and modifiers in a cocktail so you don’t have to spend a ton of money to make your favorite drinks.

The featured cocktail this week is a refreshing strawberry-gin drink, created by Shannon Tebay Sidle of New York’s Slowly Shirley and Death & Co.

Slippery When Wet- Makes 1 drink 1 large or 2 small ripe strawberries, halved ¾ ounce fresh lemon juice ½ ounce undiluted honey 2 ounces gin 1 heaping teaspoon plain Greek yogurt Garnish: freshly ground black pepper and a vertical slice of strawberry

Combine strawberries, lemon juice, and honey in a cocktail shaker and muddle until well broken up. Add gin and Greek yogurt and fill shaker with ice. Shake until well chilled, about 15 seconds. Fill a rocks glass with crushed ice, then double-strain cocktail into it. Grind black pepper on top and garnish with the strawberry slice.
