Moonriver Bar #18 - The Incubus

10/8/2020

0 Comments

 
There's a favorite red drink among bartenders that holds a less-flattering terminology that I probably can't repeat on this blog (about drinking, no less), so let's just refer to it as a Red-Headed...Lady, cuz what she does with her body is entirely HER choice.
  It is a sweet and fruity drink that is wholly deceptive.  It's meant to knock you on your butt before you know what hit you...or why you just pounded down three of them over a tasty hour or so.  Oops.

The Red-Headed Lady - Classic Version

For this you need Jaegermeister, Peach Schnapps, and some Cranberry Juice.  Ratio goes 1-1-2.
For the laymen:

1 oz. Jaegermeister
1 oz Peach Schnapps
2 oz Cranberry Juice
Shake in a mixer with ice and pour into a few shots or a shooter glass.

...And yet, though that be the classic recipe, that ain't how a lot of people enjoy this drink.  Sure, order this at a bar in shot form, and you'll get a nice fruity Jaegerbomb with Cranberry, but let me share with you a few other variations.

Other Ways Of Enjoying Your Lady

VARIATION 1 - Jaegerlite
Maybe you're not a fan of the German licorice herbal liqueur and you'd like a bit less.  In that case, we adjust the ratios a tad.
1/2 oz Jaegermeister
2 oz Peach Schnapps
3 oz Cranberry Juice
**This one's more of a drink than a shot, unless you're up for a few in a row.


VARIATION 2 - The Red Shirley
Splash of Jaegermeister
2 oz Peach Schnapps
3 oz Cranberry Juice
Fill with Sprite
**I am convinced that THIS concoction is what the bartender kept giving my fiancé at her bachelorette party.  And, as she normally HATES Jaegermeister, this drink's minimal use of a key ingredient makes perfect sense.


VARIATION 3 - The Red Crown
1 oz Jaegermeister
1 oz Peach Schnapps
1 oz Crown Royal
​1 oz Cranberry Vodka


VARIATION 4 - Red-Headed Cowgirl
1 oz Southern Comfort
1 oz Rye Whiskey
2 oz Raspberry Liqueur


Heck, there's even one that brings champagne to the mix.  If you want to feel special, I guess you could add a splash of Coca-Cola to the original recipe and call yourself Lindsey Lohan.

Moonriver Take - The Incubus

So.
  It's deceptive and tasty.  We have to both bind the flavors of the Jaeger with the Peach, then throw in a twist to both darken and smooth out the palette...without completely derivative.  I choose dark, smooth, and a little spicy, just like one of my favorite monsters to run in a mature game.

VARIATION 5 - The Incubus
1 oz Jaegermeister
1 oz Peach Schnapps
2 oz Raspberry Liqueur
1 oz Aftershock (cinnamon liqueur)
1 oz Amaretto
Fill with Sprite


Sweet, seductive, with a little spice.
You're welcome.
