Imbibe Magazine Contribution on Gastriques

January 3, 2008

I’ve rambled on and on about gastriques and their use in cocktails on this blog, and apparently, somebody was reading. Imbibe Magazine has an article about gastriques on page 76 in their latest issue this week, and I provided some info so they could help spread the word about their unique properties in cocktails. Hey, if an actual publication thinks they work now, maybe you should give them a try too. Pick up the latest issue of Imbibe for more information, or you can read all of my gastrique thoughts on this blog. You can read my thoughts here or here to find out more about the use of vinegar in cocktails. Or, you can come by Beaver’s in Houston, TX for a cocktail using gastriques. We make a vanilla-cardamom sidecar and use apple-cider vinegar, palm sugar, cherry, thyme, gastrique in a rum sour variation with Peychaud’s Bitters and mint. Feel free to ask me more questions about gastriques and check back here for more info later.

    Hi Robert! I saw the article when I was reading my copy of Imbibe last night and was meaning to get in touch - congrats! It’s a great piece, even though I think it says you’re in Austin rather than Houston!

    I’m afraid I haven’t tried making a gastrique yet, but I’ll definitely have to do so.

    Congrats again!

    Robert, I made this delicious gastrique on Saturday. The blood oranges I used were very red, so the color is just amazingly bright and beautiful. Paired it with an Acquavit. It was almost like drinking one my favorite salads: blood orange & fennel. Thanks for the recipe!

Got something to say?
