CAPERbayTINI

1 1⁄2 oz Gin
1⁄4 oz Dry vermouth
1⁄4 t Fruit (Caper Juice/Brine !!!!!!!)
Instructions

Shake with ice and strain into a frozen coupe glass.

Notes

(1) The Gin I used is Bombay Blue Sapphire. I very very heavily infused it with Bay Leaves. Which is to say: I put a lot of bay leaves into a glass jar, added some Blue Sapphire, put the lid onto the jar, and stored it in the freezer for at least 6 days (I lost count).

(2) THE WEBSITE DOES NOT HAVE ANY CATEGORY FOR: "the juice/brine that is in a bottle of Capers." What is wanted here is the brine from a bottle of capers.

History

A wild idea and huge sidelight of the Dirty Martini.
Made "dirtier" by using a brine that is even more salty & flavorful than olive jar brine.

BAYviation

1⁄2 oz Maraschino Liqueur, Luxardo
1⁄4 oz Crème de Violette, Rothman & Winter
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
Instructions

Shake with ice and strain into a frozen coupe glass.

Notes

--- The gin is very heavily infused/soaked in Bay Leaves.
--- A week ago my pal Mike G. told me to soak some gin in bay leaves, so I did. I began soaking a small amount of Bombay Blue Sapphire Gin in a large amount of bay leaves.
--- Today I did a taste test ..... WOW !! I didn't realize how quickly the gin would "absorb" the bay flavors. Good Stuff !!!!

History

My favorite cocktail is the Aviation, so it is the perfect choice for this first experiment with the BAY-infused gin.
