4th and Clyde

1 oz Gin, Hendrick's
1 oz Bourbon, Maker's Mark
1 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
1 bsp Honey (Recipe calls for honey from CT)
1 pn Chili pepper (flakes)
Instructions

Stir (to dissolve the honey), add ice, shake, double strain.

Notes

I'd let the chili peppers mingle in one of the liquids for a while to give this a bit more of a kick or add some jalapeno? Or use a honey infused with chili peppers.

  • Nice, but a bit sweet and Elderflower takes over. Might try again with different proportions.
  • #1 See the potential and quite smooth, but too sweet w/Tanqueray & 4 roses and a teaspoon honey syrup. Try it again someday. 3 stars #2 with 0.5 tsp of ginger honey, only half of which got dissolved *chef’s kiss* 5 stars
  • Delicious, simple, subtle heat, garnish with fresh jalapeno slice.
  • Needs a bit of pepper to balance this, but very good. — ★★★★★

Prepared this with Hendrick's Lunar, 2 barspoons homemade honey syrup, else as written.

Garnished with fresh jalapeno slice (since I had it). Placed the chili flake in the shaker first, and was leisurely with my ingredient additions so that it had good contact with the liquids. Has a nice, subtle heat on the finish. Pleasant, delicious, new favorite!
