The idea behind the Grape and Grain is encapsulated in the name: a refreshing Spritz using grain and grape juice spirits like MurLarkey lemon whiskey and E&J brandy. With a touch of lemon juice and sugar, the drink gets additional roundness and balance from cream sherry, another grape spirit. The garnishes are designed to exemplify the two main spirits represented in the cocktail.
- 1 1/2 oz. MurLarkey lemon whiskey
- 1 oz. brandy (E&J VSOP used)
- 1/2 oz. cream sherry (Lustau Capataz Andres used)
- 1/2 oz. lemon juice
- 1 tsp. lemon juice
- red grapes
- lemon peel curl
- sparkling water
Combine sugar, juice and spirits in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled Collins glass. Add a few red grapes to the glass and top with soda. Stir gently and garnish with more grapes and a long curl of lemon peel.
