Castletown Café Episode 13: Butler Juice (Blue)

It’s the middle of summer here in the Northern Hemisphere, and hot weather is in full swing. While I’m grateful my summer in Oregon this year has not been a repeat so far of last year’s deadly heat wave, I’m seeing what I experienced last year happening to the people in Europe this year. This isn’t just happening in Europe: record temperatures have been scorching northern Africa, the Middle East, and Asia as well. Having experienced such heat for myself, I know how awful and miserable it is, and I hope you’re all staying cool and safe, regardless of where you are in the Northern Hemisphere.

It’s hot here, too, in North America, and Oregon’s in the middle of its own heat wave right now as well, though it’s tame compared to what so many are going through. It may seem tone-deaf to present a recipe and an episode of Castletown Café when bringing up current events, but, I hope a recipe for a refreshing drink may help cool you down this summer, no matter where you are.

And if where you live is even hotter, you can skip making your own simple syrup for this drink, and just buy some pre-made. It seems you can find some simple syrups at supermarkets, and, of course, liquor stores - as well as alcohol-free Blue Curaçao syrup, which is the trick to making this Butler Juice blue. You can also omit the Blue Curaçao syrup entirely and just add blue food coloring to regular simple syrup if you want to be extra careful, especially if you’re making this for children.

Unlike my green Butler Juice, which was a smoothie, the Blue Butler Juice is a mocktail, because no fruit or vegetable produces juice that is truly blue. So instead, you’ve got to turn it blue yourself. What juice do we turn blue? Easy - lemonade. But won’t that turn it green? Not if you add enough Blue Curaçao syrup and stir it in well - and rather than use pre-made lemonade, you make it yourself, with fresh lemons. To make it a fizzy delight, we combine the blue lemonade base with club soda or sparkling water when fixing the drink in a glass.

This recipe is easy to halve or double. I actually started out with what I will call a “half-batch” for my first attempt with this drink (1/2 cup lemon juice, 2 oz Blue Curaçao syrup, and 4 tablespoons simple syrup) and I made a “full batch” the second time around. A half-batch serves 2 people, while a full batch serves 4. Great for a small summer party!

BUTLER JUICE (BLUE):

3/4 cup sugar*

1 cup water*

4 fl oz Blue Curaçao syrup (alcohol-free)

1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 5 large lemons, plus an extra lemon for garnish)

Club soda/soda water/sparkling water

Ice

Frozen blueberries

Mint sprig, for garnish

Lemon wedge, for garnish

*Can be swapped with pre-made simple syrup if it’s too hot to use the stove

Wash blueberries and dry thoroughly. Place in a container and freeze overnight. You can freeze as many as you want, depending on how many glasses of Blue Butler Juice you plan on making.

Combine 3/4 cup sugar with 1 cup water in a saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil while stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and bring to a simmer. Continue to cook until the sugar has completely dissolved (I’d give it about 5 minutes). Pour your simple syrup into a container and let it cool completely. OR - just buy some pre-made simple syrup - the better option during a heat wave! You can look online to see what stores in your area may be selling some.

After your simple syrup has cooled, set aside one lemon and cut remaining lemons in halves, squeezing out the juice using a hand citrus juicer. Fill up 1 cup of fresh lemon juice and add to a container that can hold at least 2 cups to 1 quart.

Using a cocktail measurer or jigger, add 4 fluid ounces (or 1/2 cup) of Blue Curaçao syrup to the lemon juice and stir to combine, turning your lemon juice a a deep blue and sweetening it.

Add simple syrup to taste, anywhere from 4 to 6 tablespoons, or 8 if you want it really sweet. I used about 6 tablespoons of simple syrup, myself. Stir to combine.

To serve, start with preparing the garnishes and grab a sprig of mint, rinse, and pat dry (the mint provides extra aroma as you drink your beverage). With the spare lemon you’re using for garnish, slice into wedges or wheels and make a small cut so that they sit on the edge of your glass.

Pour 4 fl oz of the blue lemonade base into a tall glass, then pour in the club soda until glass is 3/4 of the way full. Stir to combine, otherwise, the club soda will just sit on top of the lemonade base. Be sure to leave room in the glass for the toppings.

Carefully place ice cubes in your drink and top with frozen blueberries. Garnish with the mint sprig and a lemon slice, wedge, or wheel. Serve or drink up and enjoy!

Bonus (cw: alcohol): If you want to make this a cocktail, combine anywhere between 2 to 4 fl oz blue lemonade base with 2.5 fl oz citrus vodka and half an ounce of true Blue Curaçao liqueur. Stir in the club soda and add the same toppings. Just remember to drink responsibly and stay hydrated!

Melon, Mint, and Cucumber Iced Tea Recipe

Ingredients:

4 cups of water

2-3 bags of your preferred tea (green tea pairs nicely)

2 cups cubed melon (cantaloupe or honeydew work well)

1 small cucumber, thinly sliced

Fresh mint leaves

Ice cubes

Honey or another sweetener to taste (optional)

Melon balls, cucumber slices, and mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions:

Boil the water in a large pot or kettle. Once boiling, remove it from the heat and add the tea bags. Let them steep for about 3-5 minutes, then remove the tea bags.

In the meantime, blend the melon cubes until smooth. Pass the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids, collecting the juice in a bowl.

Add the sweetener to the warm tea if desired, stirring until it dissolves.

Allow the tea to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate it until it's thoroughly chilled.

In a large pitcher, combine the chilled tea, melon juice, and cucumber slices. Add mint leaves to taste. Let it infuse for about 30 minutes in the fridge.

To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the infused tea over the ice, making sure each glass gets some cucumber slices and mint leaves.

Garnish with a skewer of melon balls, a slice of cucumber, and a sprig of mint on the rim of each glass.

Enjoy immediately and savor this delightful Melon, Mint, and Cucumber Iced Tea on a warm day!

The Glass Coffin Mocktail! In honor of my most beloved and favorite Saw trap 5ever :)

#my recipe #Okay so some tips is the lemon juice will taste less artificial if it is freshly squeezed #But thematically I think the artificial is better and I personally like it more #Sugared rim is optional but fun to sugar a rim you just get the glass wet and turn it around upside down in a little dish of sugad #Sugar but I’m not retyping that #Simple syrup is 1 part water 1 part sugar just boiled together in a pot #Club soda and tonic water are BASICALLY the same. Club soda is more sweet and tonic water is more bitter #They can be used interchangeably most of the time. This is one of those times #If you want to make it a COCKTAIL and not a mocktail it’s pretty much a lemon drop with extra steps so just go with vodka #This recipe image has less flair to it because this is a less. Well the flair is in the drink itself #I’m tagging this as #saw v #but that’s it for theming related tags #The grenadine is the blood going on the glass btw (the glass is the clear liquid base)

Dragon Fruit Cucumber Limeade !

INGREDIENTS:

For the dragon fruit syrup:

1 cup sugar

1 cup hot water (does not need to be boiling)

100 g frozen pink dragon fruit (about 1/2 cup)

For the Dragon Fruit Cucumber Limeade:

1 oz dragon fruit syrup

1 oz fresh lime juice

1/2 baby cucumber (or 3 slices large cucumber)

1 slice jalapeno (optional)

4-6 oz still or sparkling water (to taste)

1 1/2 oz vodka or tequila (optional)

To make a large batch:

1 cup dragon fruit syrup

1 cup fresh lime juice (about 8-9 limes)

4-6 cups cold still or sparkling water (to taste)

1 cucumber, chopped

1/2 jalapeno, chopped (optional. Remove seeds for less heat)

1 1/2 cups vodka or tequila (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

For the dragon fruit syrup:

Combine the sugar, hot water, and frozen dragon fruit in a heatproof jar or other container. Stir to help thaw the fruit and dissolve the sugar.

Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes, until all of the fruit has thawed and the sugar has dissolved. Use a fine mesh strainer to strain out the seeds and any excess pulp.

Store any leftover syrup in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

For the Dragon Fruit Cucumber Limeade:

In a cocktail shaker, muddle the cucumber and optional jalapeno.

If using still water: Add the syrup, lime juice, optional alcohol and 4-6 ounces of water to the shaker and fill 3/4 with ice. (If using vodka, start with 4 ounces of water, you can add more, to taste, afterward).

Shake until chilled, then fine strain the liquid into a highball glass filled with ice and garnish with cucumber.

If using sparkling water: Add the syrup, lime juice, optional alcohol and 1 ounce of still water to the shaker and fill 3/4 with ice.

Shake until chilled, then fine strain the liquid into a highball glass with ice and top with 4-5 ounces of sparkling water, to taste. Garnish with cucumber.

To make a large batch:

Add the cucumber and optional jalapeno to a blender with enough water for the blender to operate (try 1/4 cup). Blend until mostly liquified, then use a fine strainer to remove the pulp, reserving the liquid. If you don't have a blender, you can use a muddler or a large wooden spoon to mash the cucumber and jalapeno in a small bowl or large measuring cup, then strain, pressing on the pulp to extract as much liquid as possible. Reserve the liquid.

In a large pitcher, add the dragon fruit syrup, fresh lime juice, and cucumber/jalapeno liquid. Stir to combine.

If adding vodka or tequila, add 12 ounces (1 1/2 cups) alcohol to the pitcher and top with 4-5 cups of cold still or sparkling water, to taste. If skipping the alcohol, add 5-6 cups of still or sparkling water, to taste. Stir gently and serve in highball glasses over ice. Garnish each drink with cucumber.

Welcome to Bixby's Lounge

The Case of the Greater Gatsby is coming in just a few days — a 1940s film noir radio play parody coming to you from Shipwrecked Comedy, as a sequel to their short film The Case of the Gilded Lily. I came up with a few special cocktails for us to drink while enjoying the show, and figured some of you might like to drink along! See below the fold for mocktail versions and syrup recipes.

Fig Wineshine 1 oz brandy 1 oz. fig simple syrup Seltzer Squeeze of lemon

Add brandy and syrup to a highball or rocks glass with ice. Top with soda, add lemon, and stir. Serve with cookies.

Shirley Themple 1 oz. gin 3/4 oz. grenadine (see recipe below) Seltzer Wedge of lime

Put gin, two ice cubes, and lime wedge in a shaker and shake like you’re trying to get information out of it. Strain gin into a highball glass, add grenadine, and top with seltzer. Stir, then spend the rest of the evening attempting to smoke the spoon.

Ford Phillips 2 fingers of scotch

Pour scotch into a rocks glass. Serve with limited eye contact.

Mocktails Fig Temperanceshine 1 oz. fig simple syrup Ginger ale Squeeze of lemon Optional: Dash of orange bitters

The Original Shirley Temple 3/4 oz. grenadine Seltzer (Willie’s recipe) or ginger ale (original recipe) Optional: Squeeze of lime, maraschino cherry garnish

Note: If using ginger ale, I recommend going with a spicier variety to balance against the sweetness of the syrup (we used Fever Tree).

Did you know: Grenadine was originally made from pomegranate, hence the name! To taste a Shirley T(h)emple as Bixby would have made it, follow the recipe below to make your own.

Homemade Grenadine 1 cup pomegranate juice 1 cup sugar 1 tablespoon lemon juice Optional: Dash of orange blossom water

Combine juice and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat on medium high until bubbles form, but before it fully boils. Remove from heat and let cool. Add orange blossom water if using, then pour into a well-sealed glass container. Keeps in the fridge 1-2 months.

Fig Simple Syrup 9 oz. fig jam 1 cup water OR 1 cup water 1 cup sugar 2 cups chopped fresh figs or 1 cup dried figs

Heat water in a small saucepan on medium high until steaming. Add jam (or sugar) and whisk gently to mix. If using fresh or dried fruit, add now. When the mixture begins to boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until it reduces by between 1/4 and 1/2 (you can taste a spoonful to check — if it’s doesn’t seem flavorful enough, keep reducing). Remove from stove and allow to cool. If using dried fruit, allow it to steep for an hour. Strain to remove seeds and store in a well-sealed glass container. Keeps in the fridge 1-2 months.
