#Scofflaw Cocktail

[askwhatsforlunch]

Scofflaw

A potent Prohibition-era cocktail, the Scofflaw is thus named because it -the word; not the drink!- won a contest to find a term to describe the "lawless drinker" in 1924, and bartenders certainly didn't lack a sense of humour! It is a beautiful concoction, the whisky lifted by the herbaceous fragrance of vermouth, and balanced with the sharpness of lemon, and the delicate sweetness of a dash of grenadine! One would certainly bend the law for one of these; Happy Friday!

Ingredients (serves 1):

8 ice cubes

60 millilitres/2 fluid ounces (4 tablespoons) good Canadian Rye Whisky

30 millilitres/1 fluid ounce (2 tablespoons) dry vermouth

half a lemon

2 dashes Angostura bitters

1/4 teaspoon Grenadine 

Spoon ice cubes in a shaker.

Pour Canadian Rye Whisky and vermouth over the ice. Thoroughly squeeze in the juice of the lemon halve. Add two dashes Angostura bitters and Grenadine.

Close the shaker tightly, and shake energetically until well-chilled.

Strain into a chilled coupe or cocktail glass.

Enjoy Scofflaw immediately. Cheers!

The Scofflaw cocktail was first mentioned in print 100 years ago today, so here's a comic I drew about it.

Vanessa Molina - Zombie On Fire

More photos (and words) under the cut!

I bought this from the June 2020 Polish Pickup and I think the theme of that one was cocktails? Hence the name. Interestingly enough, this is now the second polish I own that's named after a zombie cocktail (the other being Blue Zombie from Scofflaw). I always feel a little bit bad for showing off discontinued or limited-edition colors, but it's a good way to showcase what the brand offers, even if that specific color is no longer available.

This beauty is so full of effects - it's magnetic, it's got tons of glitter and color-shifting flakes, and the base itself is a wild multichrome that ranges from a reddish-violet to orange to green to gold at the most extreme angles. See the first picture, obviously.

The magnetic effect is somewhat more subtle than others; the color shift is silvery, so it's more of a cat's-eye effect than a striking ribbon of contrasting shimmer, but it works for this polish because of everything else going on with it. Case in point, check out the sparkle in these blurry glitter-shots. We've got gold, orange, pink, red, a little bit of purple and blue, so much happening.

As much as I love putting together elaborate nail art, sometimes simpler is better (and always easier), and I was inspired by the name of this one to just do some negative-space flames with black and it turned out looking great! Fun fact: this is the same stamp I used for the flame nail in the Tyreen Calypso BorderNails design and it looks cool as hell on longer nails.

All of these photos were taken inside during a sunny afternoon and for some reason, getting my hand directly up against the window seemed to work best for the Extreme Angle™️ pics. As per all of my nailposting, these photos use my Instagram watermark and they have been cleaned up digitally, but not color-adjusted (from what I remember, some of these are really old).

While the Scofflaw was invented during the Noble Experiment, it didn’t rear its head in some subterranean dive in Chicago. It was reportedly a creation of a bartender named Jock at Harry’s New York Bar—in Paris.

The recipe was a result of the word “scofflaw” coming to prominence on January 15, 1924. It won a contest held by prohibitionist Delcevare King that asked people to coin a term to describe the lawless drinker, “to stab awake the conscience.” The word, I think, is pretty neat, but I’m not sure how many consciences were stabbed awake by it.

Scofflaw (Max's version)

2 oz bourbon (bonded - 100 proof) 1/2 oz C&S Berry Grenadine 1/2 oz dry vermouth (Dolin or a French style) 1/2 oz lemon juice

Add all ingredients to cocktail shaker, add ice and shake hard for five to ten seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail coupe glass and garnish with an expressed lemon peel.

DYK Cocktails 4: Shang Qinghua

Oh, Airplane. I want y'all to know it was a toss up between this cocktail and the more modern Paper Plane, but I went with what I liked best.

I can't say why, but Shang Qinghua screams Prohibition cocktails to me. In case folks aren't aware, Prohibition was a time in US history when it drinking alcohol (for fun) became illegal under the country's constitution. While this H2D video is a great overview (with this recipe included), I personally had this drink for the first time at at a speakeasy in Boston. It single-handedly rekindled my interest in mixology.

The Scofflaw is a cocktail supposedly named after the people who broke the law to drink (scoffing at the law and all). It's an unusual tasting drink, but it grows on you not unlike our hamster-like author. It's not as smooth as a couple of other personal favorites from the era, but it is the one that stands out the most. And the author of PIDW and creator of Luo Binghe deserves nothing if not to stand out a bit.

Scofflaw

2 dashes of orange bitters

.25 oz (7.5 ml) of lemon juice (fresh squeezed if you have it)

.5 (15 ml) of grenadine (please use actual pomegranate-based grenadine)

1 oz (30 ml) dry vermouth

2 oz (60 ml) rye whiskey

Shake over ice and strain into your glass

Garnish with cherries (if you're not allergic like me)

3000 Beatniks Riot

Half a century before Occupy Wall Street, young protesters occupied Greenwich Village's Washington Square Park. Like OWS, they ended up clashing with the police. Unlike OWS so far, their protest produced a small but practical and lasting change.

In the spring of 1961, the Washington Square Association, a community group of homeowners around the square, appealed to New York City's Department of Parks and Recreation to do something about the hundreds of "roving troubadours and their followers" playing music around the square's turned-off fountain on Sunday afternoons. They were mostly college kids, playing guitars and banjos and singing folk songs. The practice had started in the post-war years, when Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger planted the seeds of the folk musical revival in the Village. By 1961 it had grown enough that both the police and the neighbors found the "troubadours" and the tourists they attracted a nuisance. In his posthumously-published memoir, Dave Van Ronk recalls that there were various cliques in the park: a Zionist group singing and dancing "Hava Nagila," Stalinists, bluegrass fans, folk traditionalists. Black journalist John A. Williams reported that the locals' complaints were not really musical but social: "In the ensuing meetings with city officials, it became apparent that what was opposed was not so much folk singing as the increasing presence of mixed couples in the area, mostly Negro men and white women." In the late 1950s the parks commission began issuing permits to limit the number of musicians, allowing them to "sing and play from two until five as long as they had no drums," Van Ronk writes. This "kept out the bongo players. The Village had bongo players up the wazoo... and we hated them. So that was some consolation." He doesn't mention that those bongo-players were very often black. This racial aspect had an old historical precedent in Greenwich Village. In 1819, white residents of the area complained "of being much annoyed by certain persons of color practising as Musician with Drums and other instruments through the Village."

In 1961 the parks commissioner responded to the complaints by refusing to issue any permits at all. Izzy Young of the Folklore Center and others organized a peaceful protest demonstration. On Sunday, April 9, 1961, a few hundred young people gathered, attracting a few hundred more spectators. Among the latter was eighteen-year-old Dan Drasin, a mild-mannered kid who liked to hang out in the park. He brought one of the big, boxy film cameras of the era and documented the afternoon in a short black-and-white film, Sunday. The film shows clean-cut college and high school kids, many of the girls in Jackie O hairdos and heels, many of the boys looking like the young Allen Ginsbergs with serious, sensitive, owlish faces behind heavy black-framed glasses. They carry hand-written placards and cardboard guitars and argue with the dozens of beefy, florid-faced cops who've shown up. Izzy Young, also bespectacled and in jacket and tie, lectures the cops about the constitutional right to make music as the kids sit in a circle in the dry fountain and sing "This Land Is Your Land" and "The Star-Spangled Banner." As protests go it all looks low-key and polite. Then paddy wagons arrive and the cops haul off one nebbishy young man cradling an autoharp, pushing him into a prowl car. According to Drasin, most of the singers and musicians had left the park, leaving the few hundred spectators loitering around the fountain, when the cops' tempers finally boiled over. They wade into the crowd, shoving boys and girls to the ground, mauling them, dragging a handful into the paddy wagons. Reportedly they knocked some heads with their clubs, although it's not shown in the film. The whole event, Drasin says, lasted maybe two hours.

The next day, the New York Daily Mirror, the conservative Hearst tabloid, ran a giant war-is-over front page headline, "3000 BEATNIKS RIOT IN VILLAGE." Other local papers followed suit. That week's Voice scoffed at the Mirror's "hysterical" coverage, wondering if there were three thousand beatniks in the entire country that Sunday, let alone in Washington Square Park. By May, the outrage caused by the cops' overreaction forced the city to back down and issue permits, a practice that continues to this day.

Among the protesters hauled off that day was the Village character H. L. "Doc" Humes, identified in the Mirror as a "scofflaw" and the "mob leader." Humes was a gregarious polymath, a novelist and raconteur, co-founder of The Paris Review, designer of cheap housing made from old newspapers, director of a lost film updating the Don Quixote story as Don Peyote, LSD pioneer with Timothy Leary, later helper to Norman Mailer when he ran for mayor in 1969, later still a paranoid drug casualty who believed UFOs, CIA and the Pope in Rome were out to get him. He would not have been a stranger to the cops in the park that day. Just a few months earlier, he'd had a very public spat with Police Commissioner Stephen Kennedy.

It started in October 1960, when cops shut down a performance by Lord Buckley at the Jazz Gallery in the East Village. Lord Buckley was a stately man with sleek gray hair and a pointy Daliesque mustache, who often performed in a tux and orated in a plummy, faux-British voice, seeming every bit the vaudeville and burlesque master of ceremonies he once was. But what came out of his mouth was pure hepcat jive he'd learned from the jazz musicians and pot-smokers with whom he'd associated since the 1930s. In the 1950s he started to recast biblical stories, historical texts like the Gettysburg Address, and Shakespeare in White Negro proto-rap: "Hipsters, flipsters and finger-poppin' daddies, knock me your lobes. I came here to lay Caesar out, not to hip you to him." It sounds like novelty schtick today, but in Eisenhower's America there was something inherently subversive about a man who looked like the maitre d' at a fancy restaurant jiving like a viper. "His Royal Hipness" had a lot of fans and friends downtown, where he performed and hung out whenever he was in New York.

The cops halted Buckley's gig because of a problem with his cabaret card. Since 1941, anyone who worked in a New York City nightclub, from performers to the hat check girl and the busboys, had to get fingerprinted and carry a picture ID card. If you had any police record, you couldn't have a card, which meant you couldn't work. It was intended to weed the Mob out of the nightclub business, but it could be disastrous for performers. Billie Holiday, Thelonious Monk and Charlie Parker all had their cards yanked for drug violations; Lenny Bruce lost his because of an obscenity conviction; exotic dancer Sally Rand, refused a card in 1947 because the cops thought her fan dance too risqué, took the NYPD to court over it and won. Buckley lost his because he'd failed to report a pot bust that went back to the 1940s. Without the card, he couldn't perform in New York City, including a scheduled appearance on his old friend Ed Sullivan's tv show (they'd toured together with the USO during the war).

Despondent, Buckley called his pal Humes. Humes talked his Paris Review friend George Plimpton into letting Buckley give a little performance at a party in his Upper East Side apartment, with the idea that Plimpton's influential crowd might help him get Buckley's card reinstated. With Village jazzman David Amram at the piano, Buckley went into his schtick. The response was cool. Plimpton's literary swells had come to sip cocktails and talk about themselves, not listen to Village-y jazzbo jive. Buckley the old vaudevillian worked hard to win them over, pulling out bit after bit, overstaying his unwelcome. As the crowd grew increasingly bored and angry, Norman Mailer started heckling. Amram remembers that Buckley finally gave up, then "came over to the piano and whispered in my ear, 'Let's split and get out of here, man.'"

It turned out to be Lord Buckley's farewell performance. He died of a stroke shortly afterwards, at the age of fifty-four. Art D'Lugoff offered the use of the Village Gate for a memorial service, at which Ornette Coleman and Dizzy Gillespie played for a large crowd of Buckley's friends and admirers. He was laid to out at the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Chapel on the Upper East Side, New York's funeral home to the stars. (Rudolph Valentino, John Lennon, Jackie Onassis, Nikola Tesla, James Cagney, Igor Stravinsky, Norman Mailer, Heath Ledger, Judy Garland and Candy Darling were all laid out there.)

Humes, Mailer, Amram and others then started a public campaign to end the cabaret card system. Humes charged that police harassment had killed Buckley, and claimed that if Buckley had only slipped the right cop a hundred bucks the whole thing would have been settled under the table. That enraged Commissioner Kennedy, who retaliated by tossing Humes in jail for unpaid parking tickets and ordering up the biggest crackdown on cabarets and nightclubs in years, sending cops to more than 1200 venues looking for non-card-carrying workers. But this protest worked as well. Kennedy was sacked for his overreaction, and though it took another seven years, the cabaret card system was eventually abolished.

Scofflaw

The word “scofflaw” was coined in 1924 by Prohibitionist Delvecare King to describe a lawless drinker. Thus, the Scofflaw cocktail, coming to prominence in Paris during Prohibition, was a taunt to dry Americans, lawless by the very nature of consuming alcohol during The Great Drought. We confess to feeling to feeling a little badass after two of these too.

2 oz bourbon (we like the bite of Wild Turkey 101)

1 oz dry vermouth

.25 oz lemon

.25-.5 oz Fassionola (to taste, depending on your bourbon)

1 dash orange bitters (optional)

Shake it. Serve it in a coupe. No garnish necessary. To make it a long drink, we like stirring it in a Collins with crushed ice and soda.

Important Bartending Tools for your Household

If you’ve ever watched a professional bartender put together a drink, you’ll notice that they’re using a bunch of specialized tools to stir, shake, mix, peel and do all the little things that make great drinks great. If you’re just getting started making drinks at home, trying to find the names for these tools or even purchasing them might feel a bit intimidating. That’s why we put together this list of the 7 most essential tools for home bartending along with a few suggestions on how to replace them with normal household items. Let’s get into it!

Bar Spoon

The Bar Spoon is a long, skinny-looking spoon that makes stirring cocktails like the Martini and Old Fashioned somewhat easier. Essentially, when you’re stirring, you want to be moving the ice and liquids around rapidly, but gently without chipping off any small pieces of ice from the cubes. If you don’t have one, use a chopstick for the stirring and a teaspoon for the spooning.

Boston Shaker

The Boston Shaker is probably the most iconic among bartending tools, and for good reason! The Boston Shaker is an extremely versatile tool that’s used in the majority of cocktail recipes to chill, dilute, mix, and aerate your drinks. If you’re planning on getting one, we recommend the tin on tin variety, as it’s easier to use and won’t break if you drop it on the floor. If you don’t have access to one, a jam jar with a tightly sealed lid will do just fine.

Jigger

This is a tool used for drink measurements of your liquor. Usually with one side that measures 1/3 oz, 3/4 oz, and 1 1/2 oz (a jigger), while the other side measures 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, and 1 oz.

Mixing Glass

This is a tall, wide glass outfitted with a small spout for easy pouring. Again, this could easily be replaced with a jam jar or any wide glass container. Just make sure it’s large enough to let you move the ice cubes around when you’re stirring.

Muddler

The Muddler is used to crush up fruits, berries, herbs, and other ingredients inside of your mixing vessel. By muddling ingredients in the glass or shaker, all of the essential oils will be released into your drink, rather than onto your cutting board. If you don’t have one at hand, a wooden spoon or rolling pin will do just fine.

Paring Knife

A nice and sharp Paring Knife will be indispensable for your home bartending adventures. Use it to quickly cut up fruits for muddling or to make garnishes like lemon wheels for your drinks. A normal kitchen knife will work as well, but we like the Paring Knife for its compact size and maneuverability.

Peeler

Speaking of garnishes, get a nice peeler for your home bar. The Peeler will let you zest fruits like a pro, and it won’t hurt you as bad as the Paring Knife if you manage to slip up. If you don’t own one, the Paring Knife will do. Let’s be honest though, you’re more likely to own a peeler than a teeny tiny bougie knife.

Hot tip: If you’re zesting fruits for garnish, do so over the contents of the glass. This lets you add all those essential oils inside your cocktail rather than your prep surface area.

8. Strainer

Most Boston Shakers come with a Hawthorne Strainer. These are brilliant for straining out fruit pulp and ice from your shaken cocktails. Don’t have one yet? Not too worry! A fine mesh sleeve or different types of strainers do just fine.

Now that you know what kind of tools you’re going to need, you’re going to need some recipes to try them out. Here are 12 basic drink recipes every home bartender should know!

What it’s like to go on holiday in Dubai during a pandemic

Viral vacations What it’s like to go on holiday in Dubai during a pandemic

A package deal includes airfare, hotel—and funeral insurance

THE LIFEGUARDS sweating in masks and latex gloves sometimes looked in need of rescue themselves. For much of the week it was 42°C in the midday sun, with the palpable humidity making it seem hotter. One afternoon’s sunbathing was interrupted by a sandstorm that turned the sky grey. “It’s like a dream,” grins a Dutch woman sipping a cocktail by the pool, her ice long since melted.

In normal times jetting off to Dubai in July is an act of masochism. Summer weather is hot enough to bake cookies on a parked car (as YouTube videos prove). Citizens and well-paid expats flee to cooler climes. Five-star hotel rooms that cost 1,000 dirhams ($272) a night in high season go for a third of that.

These are not normal times. Dubai allowed tourists back on July 7th, one of the first destinations to open its doors after covid-19 slammed them shut. Visitors are welcome from anywhere with only a coronavirus test; from August 1st arrivals from hard-hit countries will need two. Officials call it a calculated risk: their economy needs travellers. Last year Dubai took in 17m tourists, whose spending made up 12% of GDP.

Tourists are not exactly flooding in yet. A rental-car clerk at the airport signs up only one customer a day. Most hotel guests are residents on “staycations”. Still, a trickle of foreign visitors desperate for a trip—a diplomat posted in Bangladesh, a group of women from Ukraine—arrived in July to endure the heat.

Masks are mandatory in public, with a 3,000-dirham fine for scofflaws. Some hotels have done away with valet parking, making guests walk (quelle horreur!) to car parks. Diners may be shamed into skipping a fourth round of crab legs at lavish buffets that are no longer self-service. Bars may serve alcohol only with meals, ostensibly to stop people from lingering in high-risk settings (in practice a lonely bowl of edamame can suffice as a “meal”). At the door to a seaside Mexican restaurant, a British couple wondered if their lobster-pink sunburns would trip the infrared thermometers used to check diners’ temperatures.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE), of which Dubai is a part, has logged about 60,000 cases of covid-19. At 6,000 per 1m people it ranks in the top quintile of all countries. But the death toll, at 35 per 1m, is well below most Arab and European countries’. Authorities say 90% of cases are asymptomatic. The number may reflect one of the world’s best testing regimes. As of July 29th the UAE had conducted 4.9m tests, equal to nearly half its population, the highest figure per person bar tiny Luxembourg.

Still, other emirates are less gung-ho about reopening. The airport in Abu Dhabi, the UAE’s capital, is shut to non-residents. But Dubai feels its hospitals can handle any imported cases. Emirates, the national airline, offers free health insurance for travellers who catch covid-19. For holidays that do not quite go to plan, the policy will stump up €1,500 ($1,750) towards funeral costs.
