A Spontaneous Libation for your Consideration

Monk's Sanctum

Created and posted by Zachary Pearson.
1 1⁄4 oz Crème de Menthe, Giffard
3⁄4 oz Gin (St. George Botanivore)
1⁄2 oz Absinthe, Pernod
1⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Elixir Vegetal de la Grande Chartreuse
Instructions

Stir, strain into a chilled coupe.

Notes

If you don't have the Elixir Vegetal, I'd recommend using regular green Chartreuse but flipping the gin and Chartreuse volumes.

History

This is a riff on the old Anvil drink the Monk's Revenge. My goal was to mimic the texture and herbal flavors but in a different color palette.

Beta Cocktails by Maks Pazuniak and Kirk Estopinal

Are you a bartender that wants to find that one drink to add to your menu to make your local cocktail nerd swoon? Or maybe you're the jaded home mixer who's tried so many Manhattan variations you are sure they are running out of areas of New York? Behold: Beta Cocktails. Originally published in 2009 as Rogue Cocktails, the book is a collaboration between Maks Pasuniak and Kirk Estopinal, who met while tending bar in New Orleans. They combined a handful of their own recipes with some of their favorite boundary-pushing offerings from their colleagues and slapped the whole thing together as a self-published mini-book. Everything seemed great until Rogue Brewery came calling with a trademark infringement complaint, and Beta Cocktails was born.

    I mashed up some fennel seeds with the fresh herbs. Not sure if I achieved much, but it was an interesting, green-tasting drink.

    Any more direction on the infusion?

  • Re Kentucky Strawberry Sour, 23 hours 16 minutes ago Mixed up in Na… commented:

    It seemed a little weak. We added a 1/2 oz. of St. Germain, and it was better. Also, the soda water isn't doing much--except making the drink weak. We will make it again, keeping the St. Germain, skipping the seltzer, and doubling another strawberry.

  • Re The Dry Season, 1 day ago Jojiro commented:

    Made this with a hibiscus-infused tequila (20 grams dried flowers per 500 ml tequila), let sit one week. The vanilla from the Cocchi absolutely melds well with the florality of hibiscus. I know that wasn't the intention behind this drink, but as a variant, I highly recommend it.

    Went 3:2 gin:vermouth; really impressed with the outcome. Not usually an Old Tom Gin fan but it all comes together great here
