Black Bowtie Gimlet

1 1⁄2 oz Gin
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 oz Simple syrup
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 ds Bitters (Five Watt Gin Bitters)
4 dr Squid ink
2 Salt Solution (atomized)
Instructions

Shake gin, lime, simple, bitters and ink. Double strain into a chilled coupe, and spritz twice with salt solution.

Notes

*Five Watt Gin Bitters were used in the original recipe to boost the juniper profile in a softer, more botanical gin against the citric/briney ink. With a London Dry they might not be necessary

History

A complex, interesting twist on a pretty strait built cocktail. More tannic & broader in citrus flavor than a traditional lime-only gimlet. It also has a more daiquiri-esque richness that a gimlet can lack

  • Promising, but for me the falernum takes over even in the small amount specified. Maybe just a rinse?

I made this with Punt e Mes and my Amer Boudtreau (very bitter, high proof). Very good, but a bit too sweet. Suggest reducing Falernum and Amer to 1/4 oz. Maybe try rye.

Veracruz

1 1⁄2 oz Tequila (or Mezcal)
1⁄2 oz Aloe vera liqueur, Chareau
1⁄2 oz Dry white wine (see History)
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Simple syrup
2 ds Hellfire Habanero Shrub, Bittermens (to taste)
1 sli Cucumber (as garnish)
Instructions

Notes

Cooling flavors playing off hot ones.

History

I've used a lot of semi-aromatic, high acid, herbaceous white wines here, to good effect. The original called for Marlborough Sauv Blanc, but I've also had good results with Loire Sauv, Franken Silvaner, and unoaked/modern styles of Verdejo.
