Nutcracker Recipe - NYT Cooking - The New York Times

Julia Gartland for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Samantha Seniviratne.

You’ll find this staple of New York summer at the beach or in parks on hot days. Sellers offer these drinks, and they can vary in how they’re made, but, usually, they’re some mix of vodka, rum, tequila, Everclear or Cognac (or a combination) mixed with fruit juice, and sometimes even candies like Jolly Ranchers. As for how it was invented? It depends on whom you ask, but the origins are likely uptown in the 1990s, with some pointing to José Chu, who worked at Flor de Mayo, a Chino-Latino restaurant at 101st Street and Broadway. If you’re making these at home, there’s no wrong way to do it. Just use what you have on hand, make it as sweet or as tart as you want, and enjoy. Make sure you don’t chug too quickly, because this sweet, candy-like drink will sneak up on you. Sipped over the course of a few hours, though, it’ll keep you friendly and relaxed.

Ingredients

Yield:3 (16-ounce) drinks

• ½cup vodka or tequila
• ½cup dark rum, preferably Bacardi
• ½cup peach schnapps
• ½cup Everclear
• 1(32-ounce) container fruit punch (preferably Hawaiian Punch), chilled

Preparation

1. Line up 3 (16-ounce) plastic bottles with lids on your countertop.

2. To a large mixing bowl or pitcher, add vodka, rum, schnapps, Everclear and fruit punch; whisk to combine.

3. Fill each bottle using a spouted measuring cup or funnel, leaving a bit of space at the top for the drinks to expand as they freeze. Cover the bottles with lids and shake the drinks to fully combine.

4. Place drinks in the freezer until slushy, 8 hours and up to 24. (You can make them 24 hours in advance, but know that they’ll need to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes or so to defrost a bit. Make sure to give them a good shake before drinking; they’ll start out slushy but melt quickly.)

Tip

• The temperature of your liquid will determine how quickly your beverages will freeze. For quicker freezing, chill all your ingredients before assembling.
