Cocktail Inspiration:

For “Extra Bounce to the Ounce” I needed to create one thing daring, tropical, and funky in a approach that reused the foremost substances concerned. The eponymous 1980 funk tune, by Zapp, was voted by Billboard Journal because the primary funkiest tune of all time — but it surely additionally speaks to how the cocktail itself is environmentally pleasant. I actually received extra bounce to the ounce in my drink by recycling the substances in quite a lot of methods.

I used to be impressed by Novo Fogo’s personal mission of human and environmental sustainability, as a carbon damaging firm with a zero waste distillery, to create a nearly zero waste cocktail. Fascinated with environmental affect from high to backside, I used solely native, natural, and sustainable merchandise that will bolster the flavour profile of Bar Power Natural Silver Cachaca and make it shine.

My recipe requires each pineapple and strawberry juice. Juicing each in a centrifugal juicer, I saved the pulp and refuse, in addition to the pineapple core, skins, and strawberry tops to create a do-it-yourself pineapple strawberry Tepache — which is a conventional Mexican fizzy drink that’s mainly like a younger fruit wine with a low 2-4% ABV — which I then used as a spritz topper (see prep directions for extra element). I additionally used native, natural and sustainably farmed honey, as an alternative of the normal sugar in Tepache, to keep away from the environmental problems with refined sugar.

Refined sugar is closely processed, creates a big quantity of waste, and carries quite a lot of environmental dangerous downstream results, so for my important sweetener, I as an alternative used date syrup — native, 100% natural, and sustainably made in California. Date syrup manufacturing has a low carbon footprint and causes no recognized environmental injury to air, water, land, and soil. It’s additionally considerably more healthy than sugar, and is filled with antioxidants, potassium, magnesium, iron, and phosphorus.

To keep away from the problem of waste by utilizing solely citrus juice and never the remainder of the fruit, I used Citric Acid to stability my cocktail. Citric acid poses little danger to the surroundings, is of course occurring, and biodegradable.

I added .5 oz. of Amaro Angeleno to provide it a bit extra heft and complexity, whereas nonetheless letting Novo Fogo’s Bar Power Silver Cachaca be the star of the present. Amaro Angeleno is made an hour from my home —I needed to keep away from an enormous carbon footprint with transport and distribution. In addition they are dedicated to sustainable agricultural practices, utilizing native, wildcrafted sources.

Lastly, I replanted the stem of the pineapple (see directions above). With the strained, fermented Tepache refuse, in addition to another refuse (mainly simply the plucked unused pineapple leaves), I used the Bokashi methodology of composting to create a nutrient-rich tea to fertilize my child pineapple. Another stays will be floor as compost on your backyard. You don’t simply get a cocktail, right here— you get a brand new tropical houseplant, too!

“Extra Bounce to the Ounce,” could also be an environmentally pleasant cocktail that highlights Novo Fogo Bar Power Silver Cachaca, but it surely’s additionally simply large, daring, enjoyable, and funky. The whole lot you could possibly need in a glass. Cheers!
