  • 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
1⁄4 oz Coconut liqueur, Clément Mahina Coco
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.

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...

Cassis Party #2

1 2⁄3 oz Blanco tequila

1⁄2 oz Cynar
2 t Orgeat
2 t Cassis
2 t Pepper tincture (Red Kampot infused gin)
2 t Absinthe (green)
Instructions

Mix, shake and strain in coupe

Notes

Red kampot pepper is damn hot and very aromatic.
Combination of orgeat, cynar, absinthe give a very appealing taste.
A bit sweet.

The drink tasted very different all along the test.

Maybe serving on rocks will keep temperature more stable and taste too

History

Wanted something different with tequila using both cassis and cynar

  • Had to make some substitutions but happy with the end result. Lavender / sea salt syrup and rhubarb bitters, cap corso rather than quina.

Tried this one yesterday without the lavender garnish.

Quiet good and interesting.

Rye pairs well with lavender, both mix into something "New".

Will do again
