No Ice Cocktail Drinks You Can Make in a Jiffy

While ice completes a refreshing cocktail drink, you should not pass up the opportunity to try cocktails in Vancouver minus the ice. Ice tends to dilute the alcohol content, so you might not appreciate the full flavors of the alcohol in it.

If you want to try making cocktails in Vancouver BC without the ice, here are some recipes you should try:

1. Captain Ron

You need an ounce and a half of your preferred brand of rum but preferably the Ron Zacapa XO one and mix it with a quarter ounce each of Demerara, Aperol, and Amaro Averna. Add an ounce of water and a dash or two of mole bitters and you are great to go. Top it off with lemon swath to complete the tropical flair of this drink.

2. Pour Ma Guele

In a mixer, pour 1 ounce and a half each of Dolin dry vermouth and Bombay Sapphire gin. If you still like it cold, use an ounce and a half of ice-cold water. Add ¼ ounce of Maraschino liqueur and an equal amount of Verjust blanc. Some orange bitters and absinthe verte will complete the taste of this drink.

3. Fifth Season Cocktail

Mix an ounce of rye with half an ounce of galliano and equal portions of Lagavulin 16. Give it a little wetness with a quarter of an ounce of cane syrup.

Choosing Cocktail Drinks to Pair With Your Ramen

We don’t usually associate cocktail drinks with ramen but it can be done. Any food and cocktail pairing is possible if you know what to do and how to choose.

If you are a big fan of ramen and you are looking for an equally amazing drink to enjoy it even more, here are a few drinks you should try:

1. Wheat Beers

Get Belgian-style wheat beers or try using liquors with the same wheat flavors in a cocktail drink. This would be a perfect pair for Shio ramen. This ramen boasts of a perfect balance of savory and sweetness. With its mirin, corn, and spinach flavors, it’s milder than the others but still savory enough to require a light cocktail drink to balance it all out. Try dry dark beers for a successful pairing.

2. Semi-dry and sour cocktails

These cocktails would work with Miso Ramen. Think flavors as sour as Greek yogurt. Miso can be very rich, sometimes even richer than other popular ramen bases like Shio or Shoyo, which is why you need that acidity to cut through the richness.

3. Full-bodied drinks

You can go with full-bodied cocktails or beers like stout and porter when eating Tonkotsu ramen. This garlicky and gingery ramen need something dry like Leitz Riesling or Belgian dubbel that will complement the flavors of the broth.

Go to cocktail bars in Vancouver to get some ideas on the best cocktail drinks to pair with your ramen. The Alchemist features cocktail bars in Vancouver and which cocktail drinks you should try.
