Ellington

2 oz Apple brandy, Lairds 100 proof
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
3⁄4 oz Ginger syrup
1 ds Absinthe (optional)
Instructions

Shake, strain, up.

Notes

For a spicy, truly spectacular ginger syrup, juice ginger, run juice through a tea strainer, add sugar to taste, and add only enough water to give the syrup a workable consistency. To preserve, add cayenne extract to taste (gingerol decays rapidly, this restores the bite), and refrigerate.

History

Named for the Duke, not the Stew.

  • Decent - strong apple flavor from Laird's. Would be warm afternoon in the late fall afternoon.
