This is interesting, but I made it 1 1/2 gin, 3/4 herbsaint, 1 bsp grenadine and dash of orange bitters. Otherwise I found it basically a licorice martini. My approach softens it, but I wonder if old tom would work better.

  • Very special - the absinthe really ties it together (I floated a bit more on top)
  • A nice cross between a daiquiri and a Monkey Gland. Definitely more the former. Definitely for the better.

I made the pineapple gin by putting the core of one pineapple in 375mL of gin. Let it sit for a week. I’d like to try it with navy-strength next time.

Please Me Rosy

3⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
3⁄4 oz Coffee liqueur, Kahlua
1 oz Lime juice
1⁄3 oz Chinotto (Chinotto soda syrup)
2 ds Lavender bitters, Scrappy's Lavender
2 oz Rose petal (Dried rose buds)
Instructions

Shake long, strain, coupe.

Notes

Sweetness needs to be scaled back a bit.

Nice interacton of chartreuse and coffee.

The syrup is made of chinotto soda (Lurisia): same part soda+same part sugar. No heating. Refrigerated i've been keeping it for one year without issue. Very stable.
It makes also a nice flavored syrup for stirred drinks.
Agave syrup or simple syrup can be used too.
Regarding rose buds, 2 oz makes around 5 to 6 buds.
Rose water is a good sub too (1/3 oz).

applejack commented on 5/28/2020:

Pangolindo,

Looks interesting flavor wise and build wise (lacks a strong base spirit).  Can you be more specific on the brands (coffee liqueur & lavender bitters)?  And recipe for the Chinotto syrup (I assume it's a reduction of the Pelligrino soda)?  And is really 2 oz of dried rose hips?  I have a locally produced rose hip liqueur (Koval) I'm looking to use up but that might be tough to sub given the other ingredients, and just adding more acid is going to blow out the nuances of the other flavors.

Pangolindo commented on 5/29/2020:

Applejack, i've filled the recipe according to your request.

I've made a mistake using the term "hips", because it's "buds" in fact. Corrected...

I've tried the recipe with buds tincture but the freshness of buds get lost. The rose/floral notes are obvious with 5 to 6 buds. But not that much. Coffee tame a lot. 

 

Make sure to strain well since torn rose petals tend to get trough the strainer.

 

I've never tasted hips. And when you talked about acidity i 've understood there was something wrong ;)
