Events / News Rye Cktl Wins Beard Reci-Tweet
Posted by Nicki Wood on Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 1:45 PM
Bites reported last week on the James Beard Foundation's reci-Tweet contest, in which chefs concocted a recipe in 140 characters or less. The winner for votes, taste and clever use of Twitter was a rye cocktail that intrigued commenter pogo. Here's the winning recipe again.
2oz rye; 0.5oz lime; 0.5oz syrup(in 1:1 sugar:H20 steep 5each cardamom
& *anise pod, 1 stk cinnamon/12hrs); 2- Peychaud : SHAKE
Coming in second-ish was the hangar steak with pimenton, pomegranate molasses and figs, which was my pick for the most complex flavors and complete meal in the most efficient tweet.

Judges disagreed, though, citing the critical ratio between the red wine and molasses which was "not spelled out" in the tweet. I thought that was the whole point of Twitter.
