A Spontaneous Libation for your Consideration

Saffron and Bitter Orange Martini

Created and posted by Mothers Ruin.
1 2⁄3 oz Gin, Gabriel Boudier Saffron
2 1⁄2 t Bianco Vermouth, Dolin
2 1⁄2 t Orange Curaçao, Marie Brizard (Dry or any bitter orange liqueur)
1 ds Orange bitters, Bitter Truth Orange
Instructions

Stir and strain into a martini glass

Notes

Originally made at Mother's Ruin Gin Palace using liqueurs and bitters we make on site. But I think a good version could be made using commercially available ingredients. A good orange bitters of any brand, and a bitter orange liqueur such as dry curaçao should stand in well

Bourbon After the Act

The second in this series, our story resumes with the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897. Read them all: Bourbon, Bourbon After the Act, Bourbon: What it is ... and isn't, Making Bourbon, Who Makes My Bourbon, Producer Capsules., Finding the Good Stuff, Tasting the Good Stuff, Neat, Mashbills, Geeky Information and Resources.

The Act created a new type of whiskey, called Bonded, or Bottled-in-Bond (BIB). Bonded whiskey must be the product of one year’s distilling, from a single distillery, aged in a Federally supervised warehouse for no less than four years, and bottled at 100 proof. All Bonded whiskey has a DSP (Distilled Spirits Plant) code on it, the complete list of which can be found online.

The Bottled in Bond Act was brilliant on two levels. On the producer side, people like Colonel E.H. Taylor (of Old Taylor fame, though there’s now an EH Taylor bottling) fought for government supervision of their aging stocks because the public would know exactly what they were buying. On the government’s side, Treasury Secretary John Carlisle wanted to ensure proper payment of Federal tax, which had been a major source of both revenue and headache since 1791’s Whiskey Rebellion.

    Gin celery lemonade basically but somehow works extremely well, espectially with fresh ingredients

    Made with Punt e Mes. If these ingredients sound good to you, you'll probably be into it

    Zach was in from New York for a guest shift that week. I was doing a guest shift the following week at Backbar as part of my book launch party for my second book (Drunk & Told: A Boston Cocktail Book), and one of my coworkers who was dating a Backbar bartender at the time told me that I needed to stop to see Zach (otherwise, I might not have gone in back-to-back weeks).

    This is a very enjoyable cocktail... I think Celery bitters are often overlooked.
