  • Had to sub Aperol for grapefruit liqueur, which tasted amazing and tart, but will have to try original recipe too.
  • Very refreshing - nice summer day drink.

Clever, simple, flavorful and approachable, a very nice cocktail. This is a great way to start with either Zubrowka or Genepy as it showcases some of their best characteristics in a tasty concoction without being sour or bitter. I would like to give this a 4.5 because I rate it just one notch off of my favorites, but I will have to settle for a 4.


Gadsden Purchase

1⁄2 oz Simple syrup (see note for recipe)
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
Instructions

Real easy, build in glass, add ice, top soda water, quick roll in small tin and done.

I'll add the recipe for the Watermelon syrup in the notes.

Notes

Watermelon Syrup:

Half of a basketball-sized watermelon (I'll get you some weight measurements soon) cut into inch cubes and blended to a pulp with one jalapeño and fifteen mint leaves.

Fine strain and add one barspoon or roughly one teaspoon of coarse sea salt. Add one pint white granular sugar. Whisk briskly with whisk until combined.

Recipe should produce two quarts of syrup.

Flavor notes to expect and tweak at your leisure:

It's a bit thin and the sugar plays strangely with the low natural sugars in the fruit. Texture is silky foamy beer. Honestly because of added sugar making watermelon flavor feel "pushed," I wouldn't add more sugar to make a 1:1 syrup. Does well in cocktail by playing up agave in both added syrup and tequila. Holds body in soda.

History

The Gadsden Purchase is a 29,670-square-mile (76,800 km2) region of present-day southern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico that the United States purchased via a treaty signed on December 30, 1853, by James Gadsden, U.S. ambassador to Mexico at that time.

My current Chef is from the area and the name stood out to me through Wiki blackholes.

Didn't have the Ristretto, which I understand has a strong flavor, but still very good made with what I had (Tia Maria).

Serve as a digestif with a dessert with mint and nuts, pistachios, or walnuts.  Orange is obviously great in the dessert.  You could substitute an amaretto for the Nocino.  I havent done it, though I believe that it would work.  I used St. George Terroir as the gin, and Amara Amaro for the amaro.
