There are a lot of cleverly packaged products out there that sadly mask nothing but a poor execution to a so-so idea. Thankfully for today’s COTM, Crystal Head Vodka is not one of them. Brain Freeze is one of the signature cocktails of this simple, creamy, elegantly spicy, and quadruple distilled vodka, and it’s so simple to make, we wished we’d tried it a long time ago.
An interesting fact behind the cool bottle of Crystal Head, is that is was designed by the renowned artist, John Alexander. Even more interesting, is the man behind the product, who is none other than actor/comedian Dan Akroyd. As it turns out, Akroyd is just as interested in the supernatural as his character (Ray) from the film, Ghostbusters. This is why he chose the skull bottle to pay tribute to the legend of the 13 Crystal Skulls.
However, enough about ghosts and legends, let’s get to freezing some brains:
Ingredients
Crystal head Vodka
Lime Juice
Simple syrup
Ice
Start with 1 ½ ounce Crystal Head Vodka, add 2 ounces pure lime juice, and 1 ounce of simple syrup. Throw everything into a blender with a few cubes of ice and mix until smooth. Serve in a sugar-rimmed glass for added elegance and class.
Bonus COTM:
Another good COTM with Crystal head, especially when entertaining a lady, is a ‘Red Head’. Take 1 ½ ounces of Crystal Head, ½ ounce PAMA liqueur, and throw them into a shaker with ice. Strain result into a martini glass, and garnish with a slice of pomegranate.
TGIF.
