Cook Time 25 Minutes

Serves 4

For the Yuzu Gimlet (1 Serving)

  • 1 1/2 oz Aviation American Gin
  • 1 oz simple syrup
  • 1 half lime, juiced
  • 1/2 oz Yuzu juice
  • 1 slice of lime, for garnishing (optional)

For the Sticky Togarashi Wings

  • 2 1/2 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
  • Kosher salt, for seasoning
  • Garlic powder, for seasoning
  • Black pepper, for seasoning
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp minced ginger

  • 1 tbsp Japanese Togarashi
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 tbsp water
  • Neutral oil, for the pan
  • 1/4 cup finely diced scallions, for garnishing (optional)

For the yuzu gimlet:

 

In a cocktail shaker, add your Aviation American Gin, simple syrup, lime juice and the yuzu juice. Stir (or shake) well for 10 seconds. In a glass gimlet cup or a cup that’s not as cool, pour your drink using a strainer. Garnish with your slice of lime.

 

For the sticky togarashi wings:

 

Season your chicken wings with salt, garlic powder and black pepper on all sides.

 

Set a grill to medium indirect heat, about 375 degrees F. Grill the chicken wings directly on the grates until they reach an internal temperature of 155 degrees F, for about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, make the togarashi BBQ sauce.

 

Make your cornstarch slurry in a small bowl by combining the cornstarch and 1 1/2 tbsp of water. Stir for a couple of minutes or until evenly combined. Set aside.

Course Sandwich, Snack
Keyword Aviation American Gin, Negroni, Panino, Sandwich
Cook Time 25 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

For the Smoked Ice Negroni (1 serving)

  • 4 cups ice cubes
  • 1 oz Aviation Gin
  • 1 oz Italian bitter aperitif
  • 1 oz sweet vermouth
  • 1 orange sliced for garnishing

For the Italian piccolo panino

  • 1 tbsp calabrian chili finely diced
  • 1 tsp calabrian chili oil
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • Kosher salt for seasoning
  • 1 French baguette sliced into 16 thin slices. We like La Brea Bakery
  • 16 bite sized slices fontina cheese
  • 1 7oz raw honeycomb
  • 8 slices Italian ham
  • 8 slices salami
  • 8 slices prosciutto
  • 2 cups arugula microgreens

Instructions

  • For the smoked ice negroni:
  • To smoke your ice, start by placing your ice or water on a sheet tray (or metal bowl) and smoke on a grill or smoker for 20 to 30 minutes. Once completely cool, pour the liquid into ice cube molds and place them in the freezer until frozen. We like to use large round ice balls for this recipe! 
  • In a cocktail shaker, add normal ice, followed by Aviation Gin, Italian bitter aperitif and sweet vermouth. Stir (or shake) well for 10 seconds. In a glass, add one of your smoked ice cubes, then with a strainer, pour in your negroni.  Cut a piece of orange peel off and squeeze to release the oils and place inside the glass. Garnish with half a slice of orange. Enjoy! 
  • For the Italian piccolo panino:
  • In a medium bowl, add your mascarpone cheese, your diced calabrian chili, lemon juice, calabrian chili oil and mix well until evenly combined. Season with Kosher salt to taste.
  • Begin building your paninos by smearing 1 tsp of honeycomb to the bottom slice, followed by fontina cheese (you can use a torch to melt the cheese), Italian ham, salami, prosciutto, microgreens and top with another slice smeared with your calabrian chili spread.

Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 1

Ingredients

For the smoked currant bacon jam

  • 8 slices thick cut bacon
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons ancho chile
  • 1/2 cup dried black currants
  • 1/2 cup maple sugar
  • ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar

For the burgers

  • 1 pound ground bison
  • Kosher salt for seasoning
  • Black pepper for seasoning
  • Oil for the pan
  • 6 ounces brie cheese cut in 16 slices
  • 1 cup watercress
  • 4 potato hamburger buns

Instructions

  • Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat on a grill or smoker. Cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan and add the onions and cook until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, paprika and a small pinch of salt and cook until fragrant. Add the currants, sugar, and apple cider vinegar and cook, stirring continuously, until thickened about 10 minutes more. Remove to a bowl to cool. 
  • Clean the pan and return to grill over medium direct heat.  Divide the bison into four equal parts and roll them into loose balls. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly oil the pan and place the burgers on the pan. Once juices start to pool at the bottom of the burger use a smash burger press or large metal spatula to smash the burger until it is super thin. Season with salt and pepper or our Salt + Pepper Three Chiles. Once you see juices pooling on the meat, flip the burger. 
  • Add brie slices to each patty and cook until it just softens. Remove from the grill. Build the burgers by topping each bun with watercress, a burger patty, and bacon currant jam. Serve with Aviation Gin Smoked Blood Orange Gin and Tonic.

Keyword Aviation American Gin, chicken wings

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds chicken wings split into flats and drumettes
  • Kosher salt for seasoning
  • Black pepper for seasoning
  • Garlic powder for seasoning
  • 1 cup boysenberry jam
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup fresh boysenberries or blackberries
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 2 tablespoons maple sugar
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes
  • ½ teaspoon ground chile powder

Instructions

  • A day before you plan to eat them, generously season the wings on both sides with kosher salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Spread the wings out on a drying rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate the wings overnight. 
  • Set a grill for a medium indirect heat, about 375º F. Grill the wings directly on the grates until they reach 155 F, roughly 25 minutes. Meanwhile, make the boysenberry sauce. 
  • Combine the boysenberry jam, fresh blackberries, grated fresh ginger, vinegar and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook until the fresh berries burst and it starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Add the ketchup, molasses, sugar, chili flakes and ground chile powder. Season with more salt and black pepper and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until thickened. 
  • Remove the wings from the grill to a large bowl and toss with half of the sauce. Set the grill to medium-high heat, about 450 F. Return the wings to the grill over direct heat. Your goal is a good char, about 2 minutes per side. Be careful, these can go from charred to burned quickly.
