1 oz Creme de Cassis
3 oz Baltic Porter (Smuttynose)
3 dash Orange Bitters (combo fee brothers orange and urban moonshine citrus)
Shake with ice and garnish with an orange peel.
In an attempt to try some different style drinks I tried the mail order bride from beermixology.com. It ended up being a cool drink. I find it funny that it combines one of my least favorite ingredients (vodka) with one I understand the least (creme de cassis), but it worked out for the best.
Since this is my first drink off of this site I'm going to reserve my verdict on the quality of the recipes for a bit, but my initial impression is pretty good. Of course I don't really understand how they expect me to shake a carbonated beer and not make a mess due to built up pressure. Maybe they were working with a lower carbonated porter.
This drink greeted me with the smell of roasted black chocolate malt and hints of citrus. Tasting the drink I noticed funky purple fruit, orange pith and white cane sugar notes. The vodka and the beer's carbonation hit the back of my throat during the swallow and I was left with lingering macerated fruit and a limey tartness. All in all it is a cool drink and makes me want to try out a few more beer cocktails.
