Rick Sanchez is seldom seen without his faithful hip flask, but just what IS he drinking? Talking Rick & Morty. Peace Among Worlds.
**********************************
I held out a long time but recently I finally gave Rick and Morty a shot and it turns out I'm obsessed and I love this show, so let's make a drink about it! There's actually quite a few places to find inspiration for drinks in Rick & Morty, which means its something I will likely revisit down the road, for now I'm looking at Rick's Flask. What exactly IS he drinking all the time? Is it mega-seed extract? Well, I hope not. I'm fairly certain that in one episode he mentions there being scotch in the flask, and we see him order a "lot of vodka" at Bird Person's wedding, and there's plenty of other ingestible intoxicants in this series... but for the flask I'm going with an interview Dan Harmon gave in which he said several things, some of them contradictory: 1- We're not really ready to talk about what's in the flask 2- Rick is a connoisseur of fine spirits and he mixes it up in the flask 3- In the pilot episode the flask is definitely full of Hennessy XO.
Ok then, Hennessy XO it is. Of course, simply dumping some fine cognac into a flask wouldn't really be much of a cocktail so, I'm tweaking it just slightly into something a bit like an Old Fashioned but not really at all.
Rick's Flask
2 Barspoons of Demerara Syrup
3 Barspoons of Pickle Brine
2 oz. -or- 60 ml. Hennessy XO
Stir over ice,
garnish with a twist of orange
Keep in mind, that if you're going to put this in a flask the orange oils from the twist are essential to the drink, express that over the mixing glass before funneling it into the flask.
Did you all stick around for the post-credits scene?
Most of the tools and gear I use on the show can be found on my gear page at: bit.ly/H2DGear BUT, here's a couple of links that everyone is almost always asking me about:
