Tiger Lily

2 oz Gin, Plymouth
1⁄2 oz Lychee liqueur, Gabriel Boudier (Litchi)
1⁄2 oz Chinese five spice syrup
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a single star anise seed.

Notes

For the Chinese 5 spice syrup combine 1 cup each water and demerara sugar with toasted 5 spice ingredients (.5 tbsp cloves, 1 tbsp Szechuan peppercorn & fennel seeds, 2 tbsp star anise, 1 cracked cinnamon stick). Sous vide for 2 hours at 145 degrees, plunge into ice bath, strain and bottle. Add .25 oz overproof vodka if desired to extend shelf life. Alternately use 3 tbsp of quality 5 spice powder. Or there are also several stove top recipes for 5 spice syrup available online.

Bittermelon

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Beefeater (or any juniper forward London dry gin)
1⁄2 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Americano
1⁄2 oz Aperol
1⁄4 oz Honey syrup (1:1)
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1 oz Cantaloupe (juice)
1 ds Saffron bitters, Barkeep
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain into a chilled coupe. No garnish.

Notes

Original recipe used 2 oz white rum (Denizen 3 year) instead of the gin / Cocchi combo, but I prefer the additional botanical complexity of this version. Also works with 2 oz of tequila or (gasp!) vodka in place of the gin / Cocchi.

Curated this slightly - changed a "splash" of tonic to an ounce - it's just a lot easier to recreate that way. Also... is this your drink? If so, it should be listed as an original creation instead of unknown.  Thanks,  Zachary

Great refreshing drink. Americano vibes but with funk from the cynar. Cut the simple back to 1/4 and wouldn't have wanted it sweeter personally.
