In the Kingdom of Corona, they have bustling trade by sea and a distinct region to draw drink inspiration from. Sundrop Punch, a batched beverage i could imagine everywhere from The Snuggly Duckling, to  Old Corona, or to celebrate Rapunzel and Eugene’s wedding,  is a fortified beer & mead punch with inspirations centered on Northern and Central-Eastern Europe from the late Medieval to the early 1800s. It's a golden, long drink that's gentle and bright but certainly a little deeper than you expect. Suits the princess perfectly!  In time for the long, gentle drinks of spring and early summer, I present a recipe for Sundrop Punch, inspired by Tangled: The Series. 

Sundrop Punch

~10% ABV | Yield: Roughly 1 Liter/32 fl oz | Historical, Pre-Cocktail, Punch, Long Drinks, Fandom Cocktails 

1 bottle [~15-16 ounces]Pilsner or similar lager (I used Grolsch) 

8 oz or 240ml semisweet mead (Linganore Semi-Sweet Medieval Mead)

4 oz or 120ml Aquavit (this is a Norwegian-style[aged]) 

1/2 oz or 15ml cinnamon syrup

1/2 oz or 15ml ginger syrup

1 oz or 30ml Oleo Saccrum (Lemon)

2 oz or 60ml fresh orange juice 

1 oz or 30ml fresh lemon juice 

Chill all spiritous ingredients beforehand and combine in pitcher larger than 1 liter, gently stirring. Allow it to sit for a little while in the fridge so the flavors meld and mellow out, but if you dont plan to serve it within an hour or two I recommend squeezing the orange juice last, mixing in shortly before serving, to avoid any bitter/metallic notes oxidizing. If you wish to serve it over ice, add ice to the individual serving glasses, not the pitcher itself. Pour servings into cups of your choice, garnish with freshly grated nutmeg and, if you would like it, orange zest. 

This is a punch sort of devised out of the general region and eras Tangled takes cues from. Norwegian aquavit-- a spirit noted for its strong notes of caraway and other botanicals -- also historically is aged in sherry casks on ships, appropriate for a port city. As we see a Tangled cameo in Frozen, I like to imagine sea-maturation Aquavit is a signature of Arendelle’s -- Elsa & Anna’s kingdom --main style of Aquavit. 

Pilsner as a light, hopped lager style arose in the mid 1800s, which is about the tail end of the eras drawn from as inspiration for the setting of Tangled. Mead has been around for forever but this stuff is not a bad approximation for young mead recipes("white" mead, historically) of the 18th century -- still, not carbonated, a bit sweeter over dry. (18th/19thc drinks trend sweet.) 

 Since the Kingdom of Corona is a port(though probably not a warm water one) fresh citrus seemed allowable and helps backsweeten against the hops in the beer, but I actually think unfiltered apple juice or cider would work too. But a punch does need citrus, so historically Oleosaccrum is standard(literally oil sugar -- macerate citrus peel, removing pith as much as possible, w caster sugar. I do equal weights and give it a good while, at least a few hours. Put it in a zip lock and squeeze it occasionally, then strain peels out.) This is lemon oleo, because I wanted the color to remain fairly golden(Sundrop. Duh). Any citrus can make oleo though. I loosely referred to How To Drink's DnD Tavern Punch(which is a very different Scotch Ale/Dansk Viking Blod Mead punch) for the backsweetening, but decided a split of cinnamon & sweet ginger syrups was more suited to a much lighter mead, a lighter but more bitter beer and the stronger hit in terms of proof and flavors in the aquavit. 

Syrups like these are easy to make -- I recommend referencing youtuber Anders Erickson, Smuggler’s Cove by Martin Cate, and Leandro from The Educated Barfly for comprehensive spice infusion syrups info, and sights like Punchdrink and Spruce Eats have good recipes. 

Lastly, punch is traditionally garnished with nutmeg.

So: Is this a cocktail? Well, no. Cocktails were very new in the 1800s and at the time definitionally contained bitters more like we know today-- super potent tinctures of bittering agents commonly featuring herbs like gentian. There are bitter notes in this drink, but they much more like seasoning here than to balance the structure of the drink. Now, you can always sweeten to taste since your mead of choice is giving the structure to the sweetening and that varies a lot. Though tempting to include elderflower liqueur because, you know, Sundrop flower, it's anachronistic -- though I have a modern cocktail to share that does use it.  Anyway, aside from the fantasyland regional/era specific inspirations, there's one more theme here, and that's the restorative powers of the Sundrop. "aqua vitae" is "water of life", & nectar as used in Greek myth may, I think, refer to a fermented honey drink- mead-like?  A drink of the gods. 

Fun fact: alcohol distillation is often credited to various alchemists throughout history beginning in 8thc, so with nearly a  we know at least one Tangled character almost certainly understands distillation! 

Whether I’d want Varian to mix the punch, tho...

GSN Review: Batch 22

GSN Review: Batch 22

“For years I would reminisce about a spirit I had tried on a movie set in Eastern Europe in the late 1970s,” says actor Matthew Arkin, Co-Founder and CEO of Batch 22, and son of Academy Award-winning Alan Arkin. “I would search liquor stores and taste all kinds of spirits, but never found anything that replicated the elixir I remembered. During the onset of the pandemic, I spent hours in my Los…

Please, meet The Lost Girl. 

“The Sundrop isn't the Flower, anymore. -- it’s Rapunzel."

Per the earlier recipe on the Sundrop Punch I really did want to develop a thematic drink for Raps, you know, something a little more delicate. When I want to start somewhere, I go to the old reliable formula: The Last Word. From the equal-parts formula of Gin, Green Chartreuse, Maraschino*, and lime we learn a lot about flavor balancing. While equal parts riffs don’t have to stick to the base-herbal/botanical-modifier-acid, its where the most famous come from. 

26.13% ABV | Yield: ~4.75 fl oz after shaking | Last Word, Equal Parts, Modern Twist, Themed Cocktail

In a shaker with one large cube and either two smaller or one large cube cracked, add

1oz or 30ml Aquavit

1oz or 30ml Becherovka or Jaegermeister

1oz or 30ml Saint Germain Elderflower Liqueur

1oz or 30ml lemon juice 

Give it a nice, firm hard shake so that the large cube aerates the juice and liqueurs while the smaller pieces of ice can provide chilling and dilution. I would say between 8-12 seconds, OR, when you feel the shaker cool significantly to the touch. Strain into preferred glass [this is a Libbey Irish Coffee glass] with a tightly closed gate or even double strain with a fine mesh strainer, and garnish with either a long, thin lemon twist, or a lightly candied lemon peel. 

When I made the Oleosaccrum used in the punch, I afterward I put the peels in a low oven to sort of quasi-candy them as a garnish. Well, this particular piece twisted PERFECTLY to garnish the Princess’s drink. Having had much of their oils and water content pulled out  and emulsified with the sugar via capillary action and osmosis, the leftover peels are often relatively workable; one could try to shape several so the residual sugar lets them stick when dehydrated and create a flower-like shape as an alternate garnish! 

Specifically, I wanted to try the Aquavit as base, much for its restorative symbology, plus I like the caraway, it plays nice with our herbal liqueur: hailing from Karlsbad, Czech Republic, for 200+ years, Becherovka is a iconic example of the frequently overlooked category of bitters and herbal liqueurs that aren’t red Italian or amaro. Jaegermeister has some similarities especially with their woodsy cinnamon base notes and is easier to find in stores. For our modifying liqueur, I had to nod to the Sundrop with Saint Germain, a cordial or liqueur of the elder tree’s blossoms, which at the very least, eldertrees grow all over Europe.  

If you’re enjoying these please let me know! I hope to develop one for Eugene, and potentially a couple different drinks for Varian and Cass, Also, i think Max and Pascal deserve a cocktail too. As a treat. Some may be nonalcoholic, but Ill always use the ABV calculator if there’s alcohol, because readers deserve to make informed choices. 

*Most cherry liqueurs are made with the Morello or other distinctly sour cherry varieties, often homemade macerations, maraschino uses the marasca, which is related to the morello, but distinct and the production of maraschino liqueur results in a different flavor profile, level of sweetness, clarity, and level of nutty/woodsy flavors. Cherry Heering, produced in Holland for 200 years, is the most famous of a thicker, fruiter and more viscious variety[and is what old tiki recipes call “cherry brandy”] but homemade sour cherry cordial are found throughout Europe. Maraschino, Heering, and Kirschwasser, a clear German cherry brandy, are not substitutes for each other. This may come up in a future drink.
