HAMMER COCKTAIL RECIPES

Steps:

• Place enough feed to cover the bottom of your fermenter bucket; a good 4-5 inches should suffice.
• Add your sugar and fill the fermenter halfway with boiling water. Mix the sugar until it is dissolved.
• Fill the rest with warm water until you get to 6.5 gal of mash. There should be at least about 3″ space left in the fermenter.
• Add the yeast after it has cooled down to about 75 or 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Cover the fermenter using the lid and wait for 5-6 days.
• Run it at 150-160 proof.
• Filter the mash before distillation. This removes sediments to get a clear spirit.
• Distill the concoction, and you’re good to go!

Steps:

• 1. Place the chicken breasts between two large sheets of greaseproof paper, and whack with the base of a large non-stick frying pan to flatten them to about 1cm thick.
  2. Tear the bread into a food processor, then peel, chop and add the garlic, and blitz into fairly fine crumbs.
  3. Pour the crumbs over the chicken, roughly pat on to each side, then re-cover with the paper and whack again, to hammer the crumbs into the chicken and flatten them further.
  4. Put the pan on a medium heat. Fry the crumbed chicken in 1 tablespoon of olive oil for 3 minutes on each side, or until crisp, golden and cooked through.
  5. Slice, plate up, season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper, sprinkle with lemon-dressed rocket, and serve with lemon wedges, for squeezing over.
