Art in the Age's SNAP hits state store shelves
Photo | Drew Lazor SNAP, the new 80-proof, ginger snap-influenced liquor from the Art in the Age folks (creators of ROOT), is now on shelves in local Wine & Spirits stores, just a little bit ahead of schedule. The booze, which we snuck a taste of back in June, is an interesting beast indeed - it combines elements both sweet (blackstrap molasses, brown and pure cane sugars) and zingy (clove, ginger, nutmeg) for a liquid sensation so close to the experience of biting into the source-material cookie that it's almost scary. SNAP's warm world-of-egg-nog personality immediately advocates for its inclusion in a hot drink like a toddy, poured steaming into a tin mug and sipped by a screaming campfire that spits embers into the knot of your scarf. But it's more versatile than that, at least according to some of Philly's most noted bartenders. After the jump, check out SNAP-based cocktail recipes from Christian Gaal, Katie Loeb, Phoebe Esmon and Preston Eckman. Click to enlarge kibby Posted 2010-07-26 14:44:29

It would be nice to have a few cocktail ideas that didn't require access to a full (and remarkably well-stocked) bar, ye olde bartenders of the fanciest trousers. I should have a few by the end of the weekend, though. Reader contest?
