Best Brunch Beverage: Gaslight Manmosas

Best Brunch Beverage: Gaslight Manmosas

Posted on 23. Mar, 2009 in Dining

Once in a while during brunch, I’ll sneak in a cold refreshing glass of that classic Mimosa or Bloody Mary. But let’s face it fellas. You’re out with some cute ladies for brunch and the last thing you want to do is kill your manhood by ordering a Mimosa. Worry no more. On my recent quest to find the Mile Square’s best brunches, some Hobokenites helped me discover a drink that instantly redeemed myself. Some men say they’ve even seen their chest hair growing immediately right after drinking. Well, not really. But the drink is called the Manmosa and its pretty damn good.

HOBOKEN GUY’S BREAKDOWN

Restaurant: Gaslight Bar & Restaurant
Name of Drink: Manmosa (Blue Moon, Orange Juice and a shot of Mandarin Vodka)
Price: 2 Complimentary Glasses included with the $15.00 Brunch Meal / $6.00 per glass

In search for the best brunches outside of the Mile Square’s main streets, I ventured west of Washington Street to see what other local restaurants had to offer. Gaslight Restaurant (4th and Adams Street) offers a $15 brunch meal that includes complimentary fruit, a basket of muffins, 1 entree and 2 complimentary breakfast beverages. Although I consider this a great deal, the meal itself was not worthy to be dubbed a Hoboken best.

But their Manmosas are definitely something unique to talk about. Although many variations of a Manmosa have been created over the past couple of years, Gas Light’s version of this breakfast beverage is just a simple mix of Blue Moon, OJ and a special shot of mandarin vodka. (some places use Pabst Blue Ribbon or Miller High Life). It’s different, tasty and can surely give you a nice morning buzz, the manly way.

THE HG RATINGS

Man-Mosa

Blue Moon Belgium White Ale is an exquisite complex-tasting wheat beer with just the right touch of fruitiness. Pair this favorite brew up with some OJ and you got yourself a great tasting Manmosa. Overall, the orange juice intensifies the beer’s hint of citrus fruit and balances off the sweetness with its smooth malty wheat flavor. After a while, your taste buds get used to this unique flavor, that you don’t realize you’re drinking a beverage with beer in it. The small shot of vodka enhances a little bit of that orangey flavor and is probably the key ingredient to give you the extra buzz boost. Overall, the hops ensure a crisp, clean aftertaste on the palate after washing down that omelet.

Man-Mosa

The Manmosa is a light brunch beverage that has just the right taste. It’s not too heavy and not too watered down, giving you a nice complementary drink that’s easy to gulp without making you full or lose your appetite. With its cold refreshing taste, the Manmosa will satisfy your thirst like no other brunch beverage, making it an excellent choice for sipping on those sizzling summer days.

THE HOBOKEN GUY SIDEKICK

I’d like to thank Hoboken frequent visitor Marq from Parsippany, NJ for helping me find this interesting brunch refreshment. I have yet to see any other Hoboken restaurants offer a beverage as unique and tasty as the Manmosa. From this point forward, let it be known that I officially dubbed thee a Hoboken Guy Sidekick! Marq thought the Manmosas were so good he started breakdancing on the streets of Hoboken. Nice flares bro!

Please note: This beverage does not give you breakdancing skills.

    It’s important to use a good quality pair of straighteners when straightening your hair. Otherwise the straighteners may not get hot enough and stay at a constant temperature for long enough to achieve a good result. You can get a pair of precious ghd gift set online from one of the GHD price comparison sites.

    Always make sure your flat iron plates are clean, use a soft damp cloth on a cool iron to wipe away any residue. You don’t want to be using dirty straighteners on your clean, shiny hair!Turn on your purple ghd set and let them heat up. When they’re at maximum temperature, a beep will sound and the LED will begin to flash. It takes around 20 seconds for new ghd rare straighteners to reach maximum temperature, depending on the temperature of the room you’re in. Then, to start with, take a portion of hair and run your brush or comb through that section to make sure that all the hair is untangled. Clamp your hair with the straighteners near to the root then run them slowly down towards the end of your hair.

  7. Born in the USA As far as Coach Madison Audrey bags is concerned, resellers located within the 50 US states are most believable. Steer clear of auctions from overseas, especially that of Hong Kong, where the counterfeit handbag industry is a big business.

    Buy new, not used Cheap Coach handbags, unlike automobiles, aren’t inspected by a lemon detector. Read auction descriptions carefully and do not hesitate to ask questions about a product’s condition or request additional photographs. Stock photos are NOT acceptable proof of any merchandise’s legitimacy, regardless of a seller’s reputation.

    The choice of the most suitable handbag can make your whole outfit just POP!

    Now, let’s just acknowledge that this question is very subjective. Style does not follow any official rule and in fact all the latest modern stylists are just going against all the previous trends. Be unique and let express yourself in an original way that will not make you a follower.
    With that said, here are a few things to consider regarding your louis vuitton 2010 selection. The most obvious thing is to match. Does wearing the same color per se constitute matching? No! You can wear a color that contrasts in a beautiful way with your lv designer handbags. For example, sometimes red and pink (which are traditionally not supposed to be worn together) actually look pretty chic when combined carefully!

    So it seems a little passé to simply suggest matching colors. That’s a little over-simplistic, in terms of style advice. It’s a new millennium and a new time, so remember that you can make up your own style.

    Your louis vuitton shop material should complement the material of what you are wearing, though. For example, a leather handbag goes great with a leather jacket. A silky, shiny handbag looks stellar with a sparkly or shiny top.

    As a person who has also enjoyed this drink for many years now, (at least every St. Patty’s day since 2003) I believe the best combination is fresh OJ with a little pulp and a beer called Tucher http://www.tucher-usa.com it works exceptionally well for bringing out the flavor of the juice and the taste of the beer.

    I’ve seen people use Blue Moon because they are so used to the orange garnish that most bars will serve it with. Blue Moon is already spiced with orange peel thus adding an equal portion of OJ to make a drink out of it covers up the Blue Moon taste and you only end up with the carbonation from the beer, and not both flavors.

    As a beer purist, I’m generally not too fond of mixing beer with any other liquid, but I have to admit that this does sound good.

    For a true beer experience with brunch, pair your meal with an effervescent hefeweizen, such as a Hacker-Pschoor, which smells of cloves and banana peel, tastes spicy, sweet, and malty, and has a moderate body.

    While a Blue Moon is indeed a good choice for the typical brunch, being a Witbier, (not a hefe, contrary to popular belief), it does not have the the overall balance that makes a hefeweizen a great choice.

    @Carlton – not sure who the official creator of the Manmosa was – according to Esquire Magazine, they mentioned Northeast Kingdom in BK….in any case, I’ll update the post to mention the potential origins – i think Gas Light took the Manmosa to another level though with the touch of the Madarine Vodka… thanks for the interesting info Carlton!!

  31. Joanne

    23. Mar, 2009

    I was going to say the same thing….Mandarin Vodka.

    I suppose 2 manmosas, fruit and muffins is nearly worth the $15……Food at Gaslight is not their strong point hahaha.

  32. Carlton H

    23. Mar, 2009

    BK?!? Please. This drink is indeed native to Hoboken, and was created and regularly imbibed in the basement of a Stevens fraternity (Sigma Nu) on St. Pat’s 6 years ago. The first incarnation was done with Busch Light, chosen for both it’s abundance and it’s relative lack of flavor which is noncompetitive with the OJ, and was deemed a “sloppy orange”

    Now I’m not going to claim that we were the first people to EVER mix beer w/ OJ (I’m not nearly that naive), but we did create it independently of any outside influence and if you need to credit the drink coming to Hoboken, you have a source that’s been around much longer than 1.5 years, and doesn’t require crossing 2 rivers.
