John’s Not So Pedestrian

Last year, John discovered cocktails. And because he doesn’t do anything halfway, he is constantly tweaking and experimenting with things that he finds. He’s got this crazy notebook where he is tracking the things he tries. I’m hoping to get him to post them here.

Today, he went out to get Vodka. Dayton now has a locally produced vodka called Buckeye…only available in the State of Ohio. Pretty hilarious since Ohio has some of the craziest liquor laws on the books anywhere. So, tonight we are experimenting with vodka beverages made with Buckeye Vodka.

John’s variation on something called a Pedestrian

2 oz Buckeye Vodka
1/3 oz Lime Juice
1/3 oz Yuzu
1/3 oz Grenadine
1 oz Ginger Liqueur

Shake with ice and serve in a martini class. Very, very nice!!

NOTE: Pedestrian would normally be made with Mandarin Orange Blossom Vodka, Lime, Sudachi, Ginger, and Natural Grenadine and is from the H2hotel Healdsburg bar menu. We will be there
