TUXEDO



Tuxedo image

The Tuxedo is a simple affair, made of gin, sherry and orange bitters, that will give any traditional martini a run for its money in dryness. One of the most prominent old cocktail books to feature this recipe was issued by the Waldorf-Astoria hotel bar in 1934. Jarred Roth, beverage director of the Bar Room at the Beekman in New York, gives the drink an added herbal touch by applying a light rinse of absinthe to the glass. To achieve a more traditional Tuxedo flavor profile, simply omit the absinthe.

Absinthe, preferably St. George Absinthe Verte (optional)
2 1/2 ounces gin, preferably Greenhook

Tips for Making Perfect Tuxedo Olives

  • Choose the right olives. Large, firm olives, such as Castelvetrano or Cerignola, work best for tuxedo olives. Avoid using small, soft olives, as they will not hold up well to the stuffing process.
  • Pit the olives. Use an olive pitter to remove the pits from the olives. If you do not have an olive pitter, you can also use a sharp knife to cut around the pit and then remove it with your fingers.
  • Stuff the olives. Use a small spoon or your fingers to stuff the olives with your favorite filling. Some popular fillings include blue cheese, cream cheese, roasted red peppers, and almonds.
  • Chill the olives. After stuffing the olives, place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the olives. Tuxedo olives can be served as an appetizer or snack. They can also be used to garnish cocktails or salads.

Conclusion

Tuxedo olives are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or gatherings, and they can also be enjoyed as a simple snack at home. With a variety of fillings to choose from, tuxedo olives can be customized to suit any taste. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give tuxedo olives a try. Your taste buds will thank you!
