  • This is a nice cocktail from Phil Ward. You have to monitor the jalapeno infusing to make sure you don't overinfuse. I've added smoked salt to this as well with good results.

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?

Kindred Cocktails commented on 6/14/2018:

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.

  • Probably a 3.5 - not that much more than the sum of its parts, but I like the parts.

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

Shake, strain, rocks, garnish.

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.
