Lambic Sour

3⁄4 oz Gin, Citadelle
3⁄4 oz Suze
3⁄4 oz Raspberry liqueur, St. George
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice for 15 seconds, strain into coupe. Garnish with picked raspberries.

Notes

EDIT: Originally I made this with the St. George Raspberry Brandy, but after a few tweaks I swapped in gin. The St. George Raspberry Brandy has a hint of the fruit but also a whole lot of earthy flavors seemingly of the leaves, stem, etc. Combined with the Suze, it made for an earthy bitterness that was a bit much for most palettes (and even mine at times).

LemonMelon commented on 10/20/2022:

Smooth and not overly bitter. Salers is soft enough to work well without overpowering the banana.

  • Used 1/2 fresh lime per drink Go a little lighter on the lime and on the Rum.
  • Recommend white unaged/lightly aged rum.

  • I used Aarborg, Amaro Montenegro and Dolin. It was great. I think that next time I'll try a twist of tangerine. Make a double as it does not fill a Nick & Nora. — ★★★★★
  • Nicely balanced before dinner cocktail. Used Dolin dry vermouth. Rate 4.5
  • Made with Aarborg, Dolin, and Lucano Anniversario. Handsome glassy amber color. Nose is cinnamon rolls with orange icing. Herbaceous, and maybe a touch too sweet.
  • Might scale back meletti/split sweetener btw amaro and marschino
  • Light in flavor, but not in body. Well balanced.
  • Made with Maraska and Krogstad: 4.5

Sauternes Corretto

1⁄2 c Pineapple (slices, muddled)
1⁄4 t Tartaric acid powder
4 oz Gin, Plymouth Navy Strength
3 oz Amaro Sibilla
2 oz Apricot liqueur
4 oz Milk (whole, warm)
Instructions

Acidify the muddled pineapple with the tartaric acid, add the remaining liquors, wait 5 minutes, strain into the milk, stir and let sit 5 minutes to curdle. Strain through a damp Chemex filter into a carafe - it's best to do this in the refrigerator overnight. Transfer to a jar and label.

Notes

This makes the Sibilla taste like coffee so that the overall effect is like drinking an espresso then pouring in a glass of good Jamaican rum.
