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
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 pn Yeast (Toasted bakers yeast)
Instructions

Build in a shaker, add pinch of toasted yeast, shake well and double 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
1⁄2 oz Falernum, Velvet Falernum
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
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?

  • Too much going on IMO, but is undeniably tasty.
  • A little tart, minor adjustments and it was delicious.

  • 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.

1 1⁄4 oz Gin, Junipero
3⁄4 oz Luxardo Bitter Bianco
1⁄4 oz Crème de Cacao, Giffard (Blanc)
1 oz Bianco Vermouth, Dolin
3 ds Bitters, Scrappy's Lavender
Instructions

Stir, strain into old fashioned glass with a large cube or sphere. Garnish with a few spritzes of crème de violette from an atomizer.

  • 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...

2 t Orgeat
2 t Cassis
2 t Pepper tincture (Red Kampot infused gin)
2 t Absinthe (green)
Instructions

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
