What Ingredients do you need to make a Dirty Bastard?
Orange Juice
Orange Juice is an essential ingredient for most bars and fridges all around the world. Why? It mixes well with virtually any form of alcohol.
Cocktails with Orange Juice and Vodka? Absolutely.
Cocktails with Orange Juice and Tequila? Naturally.
Cocktails with Orange Juice and Rum? Sure, why not?
And the list doesn’t end there.
For Orange Juice, we recommend:
Peach Schnapps
Peach Schnapps is a peach-flavoured variant of the Schnapps alcoholic drink.
Schnapps may take several forms:
- Distilled Fruit Brandy.
- Herbal Liqueurs.
- Infusions – i.e. the process of extracting flavours from plant material in solvent such as water, oil, or in the case of Schnapps – alcohol.
- Flavour Liqueurs – this is where Peach Schnapps comes in.
The word Schnapps is a German term that refers to any kind of strong Alcoholic drink and over the years has become known as a style of drink. More about that here.
For Peach Schnapps, we recommend:
Vodka
We compared 12 different brands of Vodka and determined that Smirnoff was the overall best option. Given the current climate with Russia, that may seem like a questionable choice, but Smirnoff isn’t made in Russia, it’s made all over the world.
It actually has a history of Russian persecution and the creators were forced to flee Russia.
What Equipment do you need to make a Dirty Bastard?
Highball Glass
Highball Glasses are the most common glasses in the cocktail world. You can put most cocktails in there from the Long Island Iced Tea to a Bay Breeze.
Bar Spoon
Bar Spoons are great for cocktails you’re supposed to stir, rather than shake in a cocktail shaker.
Sure, you can probably use any spoon to stir your drink but these bar spoons are the real deal. It’s the proper equipment to get the job right.
- They’re long enough to get to the bottom of any cocktail to allow you to properly stir.
- They have a twist spiral design that allows for a better grip.
- They’re made out of stainless steel, so they’re durable, corrosion resistant, and easy to clean.
