Gau Jal (Cow Water) – April Gross-Out Bar Drink Of The Month

Posted on April 18, 2012 by Corey Rozon

In Hindu culture, the cow is honoured as a symbol of unselfish giving. Everything that the cow produces, from its milk to its manure, not only has a use, but is also thought to have some sort of therapeutic value. So much so that even the cow’s urine is used for its medicinal properties.

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu nationalist organization in India, has taken it a step further and has begun production of a soft drink made from cow urine, which they have dubbed Gau Jal, or Cow Water.

As the Telegraph’s article, “India makes cola from cow urine“ reports, the RSS plans to produce a soft drink that will rival the likes of Pepsi and Coca-Cola.

The mixologists here at BarWhiz are always up for a challenge, as can be seen in some of our other gross out drinks, such as the Kopi Luwak cocktails and our Airag cocktail recipes. We figured Gau Jal shouldn’t be too much of a challenge, so have come up with 5 cocktail recipes with a cowey twist:

#1 – Billiard Bull

2 oz citrus flavored rum
3 oz gau jal
3oz red bull
lime wedge

Add rum to a highball glass filled with ice, squeeze lime wedges and drop into glass, top with equal parts Gau Jal and Red Bull and serve.

#2 – Vanilla Cow

1 1/2 oz vanilla vodka
1 dash Lemon Juice
gau jal to fill
lime wedge and mint sprig for garnish

Add vanilla vodka and lemon juice to a highball glass filled with ice, top with Gau Jal, garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint, and serve.

Before going forward, here’s a little scene from Man Vs. Wild that
might make all this talk about urine seem a little less strange
and prepare you for the next cocktail named after Bear Grylls…

#3 – The Bear Grylls

1 1/2 oz gin
5 oz gau jal
1/4 tsp salt

Add all ingredients into a highball glass filled with ice and serve

#4 – Apple Wizz

2 oz apple brandy
4 oz apple juice
lime wedge
gau jal to fill
lime slice for garnish

Add apple brandy, apple juice, and juice from lime wedge to a chilled highball glass with ice, top with gau jal, garnish with a slice of lime and serve.

#5 – Golden Shower

1 1/2 oz whiskey
1/2 oz advocaat
1/2 oz simple syrup
1/2 oz lemon juice
gau jal
lime slice and mint leaves for garnish

Shake whiskey, advocaat, simple syrup and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice, strain into a chilled beverage glass, top with gau jal, garnish with lime slice and mint leaves, and serve.

Easter Themed Cocktail Ideas

Posted on April 4, 2012 by Corey Rozon

So far this year the mixologists at BarWhiz have provided you a list of saintly drinks, from St. Valentine to St. Patrick, but today is all about Easter.

Easter is a Christian holiday that not only marks the end of lent, but also celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is also the time of year where children search for hidden chocolate eggs that where scattered around their homes by a magical bunny…

As for why bunnies became associated with Easter, just look no further than Christopher Moore’s satirical novel, Lamb. In his book, Moore’s character Joshua (Jesus) drunkenly gushes his affections for bunnies while at a wedding reception, declaring, “Henceforth and from now on, I decree that whenever something bad happens to me, there shall be bunnies around.” And that’s why we have the Easter Bunny.

From the walking dead to magical bunnies, Easter is one time of year that a tasty drink idea will be appreciated by all, and especially by those that gave up the drink as part of their Lenten sacrifice.

So without further adieu, here are your 5 Easter themed cocktail ideas:

#1 – Easter Bunny

1/2 oz vodka
1 oz creme de cacao
1 tbsp cherry liqueur
1 tbsp chocolate sauce

Pour all ingredients into a martini glass with ice and serve.

#2 – Easter Egg

1 oz blue curacao
1 oz white creme de cacao
half-and-half cream

Pour blue curacao and creme de cacao over ice cubes in chilled martini glass, float cream on top and serve.

1/2 oz amaretto
1/2 oz kahlua
1/2 oz baileys
1 oz cream

Shake all ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice, strain into rocks glass and serve.

#4 – Carrot Martini

Kopi Luwak Cocktails – February Gross-Out Bar Drink Of The Month

Posted on February 22, 2012 by Corey Rozon

Kopi Luwak, also known as civet coffee, is one of the world’s most expensive forms of coffee. At nearly $160 per pound, this coffee is a treat only the well-to-do can afford to drink on a daily basis. But after finding out how this coffee is produced, one really has to wonder why anyone would like to drink this stuff every day.

The coffee comes from the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Java, Bali and Sulawesi, as well as from the Philippines, where it is known as motit coffee, and East Timor, where it is called kafe-laku.

The gross-out part of this expensive drink comes from the way it is produced. Asian Palm Civet’s eat the coffee berries, pass the coffee bean, which are then harvested, washed, dried, roasted and brewed, finally to be sipped in cafes the world over.

We figure it can’t be all that bad, especially if you throw some alcohol in it, so we have come up with 5 traditional coffee based cocktails with a poopy twist:

#1 – B-50 Poo

1/2 oz of bailey’s
1/2 oz of kahlúa

#2 – Dirty Bowl Martini

2 oz of strong brewed Kopi Luwak
2 oz of vodka
1 oz of creme de cacao
dark cherries and chocolate shavings for ganrnish

Shake all liquid ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice, strain into chilled martini glass, garnish with dark cherries and chocolate shavings, and serve.

#3 – Ring Of Fire

2 oz of 151-proof rum
1 oz of kahlúa
3 oz of freshly brewed Kopi Luwak
lemon juice and brown sugar for rim
pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg
whipped cream for garnish

Rim a glass mug with lemon juice and brown sugar, add 151-proof rum and light on fire. Swirl glass until sugars are caramelized, dd cinnamon and nutmeg, and pour in kahlúa and Kopi Luwak. Garnish with whipped cream and serve.

#4 – Montezuma’s Revenge

1 1/2 oz of tequila
1 oz of kahlúa
4 oz of freshly brewed Kopi Luwak
whipped cream and cinnamon for garnish

Add tequila and kahlúa to a glass mug, add freshly brewed Kopi Luwak, top with whipped cream and garnish with cinnamon.

#5 – The Poop Deck

1 1/2 oz of sailor jerry spiced rum

1 tsp of simple syrup

Posted on November 17, 2011 by Corey Rozon

Mongolia is famous for their horses, but that fame goes much farther than just for riding them. Mongolians also milk them, and this sweet horse milk is turned into an alcoholic beverage called Airag.

Once the mare’s milk has been collected it is stored in a container made from the stomach of a cow or from horsehide, where it is then hung outside of the entrance to a yurt. Here it will sit to ferment until it becomes a tasty beverage with about 5% alcohol content.

Peruvian Frog Juice Recipes – October Gross-Out Bar Drink Of The Month

Posted on October 17, 2011 by Corey Rozon

Lima, Peru is famous for, among other things, its frog juice. This ‘tasty’ juice made from Kermit, and about 20 other ingredients, is touted for its health benefits and can cure everything from asthma, bronchitis, sluggishness and even impotence. Word on the street is this is the “revenge drink” for ladies who just discovered their “prince” is a frog.

While typically made as a smoothie, many amateur bartenders around the world (not just in Lima anymore) are now adding a little bit of the sauce to turn this healthy frog juice into a cocktail. We’ve decided to update five classic cocktails by adding a froggy twist…

1/2 oz crème de almond
1/2 oz triple sec

Frog juice cocktail recipe # 5) Cuba Libre

2 oz light rum
2 oz frog juice
Coca-Cola®

Pour frog juice into a highball glass over ice cubes. Add rum, fill with cola, stir, and serve.
