Apertivo #7

1 1⁄4 oz Umeshu
1 oz Gin, G'Vine Floraison
3⁄4 oz Suze
5 dr Orange cream citrate
Instructions

In mixing glass, 5 ice cubes, stir long to acheive half dilution of ice, strain in nick and nora.

Notes

This is a low abv kind of drink.
You need light texture and high dilution in order to have umeshu developing aroma.
It soften Suze and gin a lot.
But it's the purpose.

You need a light gin, not juniper forward. But floral and lemony.

The drink despite the ratios could easily be taken as a contemplative Kind.
Umeshu brings variations, subtility and complexity.

1⁄2 oz Fernet (Gagliardo)
1⁄4 oz Suze

Nice mirabelle and umeshu work.

The taste is, mirabelle, bitterness (fernet hidden), fruity notes.

Floral bitterness

3⁄4 oz Suze
3⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Punt e Mes
1⁄4 oz Peach liqueur
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
Instructions

Old fashioned glass, long stir, serve.

Notes

My peach liquor is an attempt of freeze distilling.
I 've bought a cheap white wine peach liquor and projected to concentrate it.

In the freezer: the water from the liquor make the stuff freeze. Then upside down the bottle to collect the concentrate. Once the ice seems to melt to much stop the process. Refreeze the concentrate and repeat till it's not freezing anymore.
Ready!

I did not wait till the mixture stop freezing. I 've indergone the process 4 to 5 times.

You are loosing a lot of volume for sure.

Make sure to be careful with this method depending on which product you use to concentrate since everything gets concentrated even toxic parts...

Peruvian Necktie

1 1⁄2 oz Pisco
1⁄2 oz Bénédictine
1⁄2 oz Apricot liqueur
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
10 dr Absinthe (A dash or two will work)
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish -- long, thin, and tied in a knot)
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain into a coupe, and garnish with a knotted orange twist.

History

For a drink of the day Loyal Nine, I was inspired by the name of choke hold in submission grappling called the Peruvian Necktie. Clearly, the spirit had to be pisco, and I decided to go the Benedictine-apricot liqueur direction after having experienced a few drinks with it. Here, the sweetness was countered by lime juice, and the herbal notes were brightened by a light touch of absinthe since Angostura took the drink in a very dark direction. To tie it back to the name, I garnished with a knotted long orange twist.
