Another fabulous summer cocktail is the Broken Lawn Mower. This is the perfect cocktail for Dad on Father's Day or anytime he needs to perfect excuse of avoiding his worst weekend chore.
Broken lawn mower
Ingredients
1-1/2 oz. Sobieski Vodka
3 oz. chilled beef bouillon
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
2 dashes Tabasco sauce, or to taste
1 dash habanero sauce (optional)
1 oz. fresh orange juice
1/2 tsp. chipotle powder
juice of 1/2 lime
spicy salt (equal parts coarse salt, black pepper, chipotle or regular chile powder and lime zest)
Directions
Moisten rim of highball glass with lime.
Roll outer lip in a saucer filled with the spicy salt mixture.
Shake all ingredients thoroughly.
Strain over ice into the pre-rimmed highball glass.
Garnish with a lime wedge and a pickled hot pepper.
"The Broken Lawn Mower is best served with lots of ice and a spicy pickled hot pepper for that extra kick," said mixologist Tad Carducci, who created this cocktail. "The peppery Dankowski rye in Sobieski Vodka matches well with the spicy flavors in the Broken Lawn Mower. I recommend enjoying a Broken Lawn Mower outside in the backyard over a great conversation with your Dad."
Sobieski Vodka tastes great served neat, chilled, on the rocks or in a wonderful summer cocktail. It is widely available at a retail price of $10.99 for a 750 ml bottle.
