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.

    If your other ingredients aren't quite up to snuff, a drop of absinthe instead of the Peychaud's makes this drink something special.

    Great funky low-abv cocktail

    There are a bunch of arugla gimlets out there! Back Bar (Somerville) has one called just "Arugula Gimlet" with basically the same receipt but with symple syrup instead of agave. Leah Hall has one (also called Roquette) but with honey syrup and slight more lime & syrup.
