MILKMADE FLAVORS OF THE MONTH: JUNE 2012Just keeping you posted on what we’re sharing with our members this month.  Grady’s Manhattancold brew coffee infused manhattan cocktail ice creamAll right. We have to tell you. We’ve found THE best cold-brew coffee in town (in any town). It’s called Grady’s Cold Brew. (You’re welcome). And so we did what we do best. Make THE best iced coffee ice cream in town (yes, still, any town). Of course we didn’t stop there. Inspired by the cold-brew infused manhattan cocktail we had at a local Brooklyn bar (okay, maybe we had three), we added in some local whiskey from Kings County Distillery, a touch of Vermouth, and even some bitters to make it a Grady’s Manhattan. Try one (or three)! Tom Collinslemon and gin Tom Collins ice cream with a raspberry garnishThe Tom Collins is my very favorite summertime drink. It’s simple, smooth, refreshing, and, best of all, accompanied by a fascinating history.  See back in 1874 there was a little hoax going around New York, and it went a little something like this - “Have you seen Tom Collins? He is talking about you in a very rough manner - calling you hard names..” People went racing about town looking for the libelous Tom Collins, who was often reported to be at the local down the street. Bartenders caught on and began serving a Tom Collins drink - gin, simple syrup, soda water, lemon. The drink became so popular that not only did it even have its own glass, it is reported to have caused a lemon shortage in in New York in summer 1936. We’re making ours with gin from local distillers New York Distilling Co and a raspberry garnish.
