Jelly Bean
ส่วนผสม
- Blackberry Brandy 1 oz
- Anis 1 oz
วิธีทำ
mix equal parts in pony glass-tastes just like a jelly bean!
The Jelly Bean is a simple two-ingredient shot that combines blackberry brandy with anis liqueur in equal parts, creating a flavor profile that genuinely mimics the candy it is named after. The blackberry brandy's dark fruit sweetness and the anis's licorice character combine to produce a familiar, nostalgic taste. It is served in a cordial or shot glass.
History & Origins
Candy-flavored shots became a staple of American bar culture in the 1980s and 1990s, when fruit liqueurs and flavored spirits gained wide commercial availability. The Jelly Bean shot is a product of this era, exploiting the natural flavor affinity between anise and blackberry that has been recognized in European confectionery for generations. The exact origin is disputed.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Sweet blackberry and star anise, with a licorice character reminiscent of the candy. Palate: Very sweet and playful — the blackberry brandy's dark fruit richness blends seamlessly with the anis's licorice-anise flavor to create a genuinely candy-like experience. Finish: Sweet and lingering, with anise dominating the finish.
Pro Tip
Mix at room temperature in equal parts in a small glass — no ice needed as the sweet flavors are best appreciated at slightly warmer temperatures.
