SATURDAY COCKTAILS
I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED A SUMMER MARTINI. (THE PICKLED RAMP MARTY IS A STANDARD AT THE HOUSE) SO, WHEN FRIENDS, IAN AND LISA BROUGHT ME BACK A BOTTLE OF HORSERADISH SCHNAPPS FROM DENMARK AND CHALLENGED ME TO SOME TYPE OF COCKTAIL RECIPE, THIS IS WHAT I CAME UP WITH. WE NAMED IT A "MAROR MARTINI"(MAROR IS THE HORSERADISH ROOT USED IN THE PASSOVER SEDER. A NOD TO MY FRIEND IAN'S JEWISH ROOTS). THE GARNISH IS A QUICK PICKLE WITH RICE WINE AND MALT VINEGAR WITH TARRAGON. THE BRIGHT BRINEY FLAVOR FROM THIS PICKLE PAIRED PERFECTLY WITH THE HORSERADISH BITE. ALL IN ALL A SUCCESS.
