Slimer
Inspired by Ghostbusters' iconic green ghost, this Slimer-themed cocktail blends Midori, peanut butter whiskey, agave, and lemon juice into a silky-sweet, glowingly green drink that’s as easy to drink as he was to lure into a posh hotel banquet. (Recipe Below)
We had to create cocktails for this Sci-Fi cult classic, and of course, we had to base them around our favorite spooks from this film too! Our first cocktail is inspired by the iconic gluttonous green ghost Slimer. We use Midori to get the classic Slimer-green look and the sweet, musk melon flavor. Combined with Peanutbutter whiskey, and Agave you get a deliciously sweet, and lightly nutty flavor that is carried through the palate with lemon juice. To get a thicker, Slimer like consistency, we blend xantham gum into the cocktail with a frothing wand. Serve it in a chilled coupe and express a lemon peel on top to brighten the whole drink and give it a little bit of e lemon scent. With this silky-sweet cocktail, you'll want to get Slimed!

Screwball Peanut Butter Whiskey
70 proof/ 35% ABV
Screwball Spirits, LLC
A flavored American Whiskey made by redistilling whiskey (specific mash bill not available) with peanut and sugar added. The result is an amber colored whiskey that is syrupy sweet and tastes strongly of peanuts similar to mixing peanut butter with honey.
-
Melon Liqueur
42 proof/21% ABV
Suntory Global
A lightly sweetened liqueur made with musk melons giving it hints of and earthy melon flavor without defining which melon. Great for adding sweetness and for smoothing out the astringent bite of high proof spirits.
-
Lemon Juice
5-6% acidity
Less acidic than lime juice, lemon juice will add enough acidity to brighten flavors without overpowering when balanced with sweetness. Usually our preference when needing acid to emulsify with egg white, aquafaba or cream.
-
Agave
A neutrally flavored and easy to grab sweetener. Golden, Amber and Dark Agave Nectars are available in the supermarket with darker versions being predictably more toasty or caramel in flavor.
-
Xanthan Gum
A polysaccharide that is used as a food thickening agent and stabilizer. Made through a fermentation process using xanthomonas campestris that produces the xanthan gum sugar. Found in the baking aisle at the grocery store, xanthan gum is a flavorless, fine powder. Activating xanthan gum takes aggressive agitation from a frother or blender.
