Tidbit

The Tidbit cocktail is an intriguing blend that combines the botanical notes of gin with the creamy sweetness of vanilla ice cream, topped off with a hint of dry sherry. This delightful concoction offers a unique sensory experience, where the smooth, rich texture of the ice cream melds seamlessly with the crisp, juniper-forward profile of the gin. The dash of dry sherry adds a subtle nutty complexity, balancing the sweetness and introducing an elegant finish to the drink.

The Tidbit is reminiscent of a bygone era when creativity in cocktail-making was at its peak, possibly drawing inspiration from the dessert cocktails that gained popularity in the mid-20th century. These types of drinks often aimed to provide a decadent, yet refreshing treat. While the exact origin of the Tidbit is not well-documented, it embodies the experimental spirit of mixologists who sought to blur the lines between cocktail and dessert, offering a luxurious indulgence in a glass.

This drink style is classified as a Cocktail and is Alcoholic, so drink responsibly! The recommended glass type for this drink is a Highball Glass. We say, feel free to serve it in whatever you have available; it will still taste the same :)

You may also use different variations of the same ingredient. For example, you could change up fruit types or sugar substitutes. Other substitutions would include different brands of liquor. For example, if your drink calls for a specific type of whiskey, you could try using bourbon instead of Irish.
