  • Made with honey instead of agave. That felt more coherent. Great drink.

Elske Sour #2

2 oz Gin, City of London
3⁄4 oz Sake, Nigori
3⁄4 oz Simple syrup (Umeboshi, see note)
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1 pn Yeast (Toasted bakers yeast)
Instructions

Build in a shaker, add pinch of toasted yeast, shake well and double strain.

Notes

To make the Umeboshi syrup, Blend 6 umeboshi into simple syrup then fine strain.

History

Similar to a plum/ginger sour but I love the added umami and saltiness of the umeboshi and yeast.

  • Love it. It's almost yogurty.
  • Had this at Elske and *loved* it. Made it at home and it was less good but still excellent. Put 3 umeboshi into 4oz of simple. Would do more ume next time. Ume garnish is good.

I'm super excited about replicating this but I think I'm missing a volume for syrup in the umeboshi syrup. I'm assuming that don't want six umeboshi into ¾oz of syrup but maybe I'm being unimaginative.


Banana Farmer

1 oz Navy strength rum, Smith & Cross
1 oz Light rum, Plantation 3 Star
1 oz Crème de Banane, Giffard (giffard ideally)
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 oz Pineapple juice
Instructions

Combine everything with ice and shake. Strain into an appropriate tiki mug or pearl diver glass filled with crushed ice. Probably needs a garnish, but I haven't found something yet. Maybe a slice of frozen banana?

  • Adapt to use CC EDV Douglas Fir instead of bitters/infused simple? Or Zirbenz SPL for sweetness?

I haven't toyed with CC EDV Douglas Fir....yet.  The bitters and simple are just awesome.  I highly recommend them both if you haven't tried them.  No sweetness is needed.  It's been described by many as a "dessert cocktail" or "grapefruit creamsicle".  Extremely popular and sought after.

  • This is pretty good. We added some cocoa shells for garnish. It's a little sweet so we let a jalapeno slice hang out in it for a few minutes to balance it a bit. Very nice. — ★★★★

Negroni in Paradise

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Beefeater (pineapple infused)
3⁄4 oz Campari
1⁄4 oz Amargo-Vallet
3⁄4 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Vermouth di Torino
Instructions

Stir, strain into an old fashioned glass with a large cube or sphere. Garnish with either a large orange swatch, pineapple fronds or a dehydrated pineapple ring.

Notes

For the pineapple infused gin, combine a roughly chopped ripe pineapple with a 750ml bottle of Beefeater either for (a) 24-48 hours in a non-reactive container, or (b) 2 hours at 135 degrees via sous vide. Also works well with Plantation Stiggin's Fancy Pineapple Rum.

Wanted to try again my own recipe today. But had no citrus, nor white choc' liqueur and boler's at home:
Chartreuse verte, 2 dashes bittermen's orange cream citrate bitter, 2 dashes torrefied cocoa nib tincture, and 1 dash cheseapeek bay bitters from bitter end. Grappa is pushed front by the ingredients. Lovely...
