Still Life

3⁄4 oz Kirschwasser
3⁄4 oz Apricot liqueur, Marie Brizard Apry
3⁄4 oz Maurin Quina
3⁄4 oz Orange liqueur, Orangerie
1 bsp Absinthe, Pernod (as float)
Instructions

Shake, strain, float absinthe.

Notes

In progress. Trying to get to a Florodora. Probably subbing Mirabelle for Kirsch and Heering for Quina. Needs rinse of absinthe. This is not as sweet as it seems.

The No Title Cocktail

Instructions

Add gin, vermouth, lime juice, and simple syrup to a shaker, fill with ice, shake vigorously, strain into a chilled coupe glass.
Very gently pour the barspoon of Balsamic into the center, it will settle to the bottom.
Add a dash of black pepper.
A sliced strawberry on the rim makes for an attractive garmish.

Notes

Use Monkey 47 gin.
Use Aged Balsamic Vinegar. I use 3-year Aged. The longer the aged, the better !!

Dan commented on 6/20/2016:

Quite nice. My cassis was rather oxidized and that came through under the Campari. I think it would be better with fresh vibrant cassis or some other berry-family liqueur. Stone fruit -- maybe apricot -- might work too. Without the gin, I think it would be cloying.

The "History" field says it was created by Kal Moore but the "Created by" field says it was created by Mike Gordon. What's up?

mako,

The original idea & recipe was passed along to me by Mike Gordon.  I wrote it down, walked over to The Gresham, and Kal Moore put it all together for the very first time.

HallA commented on 5/29/2022:

Solid three. I think this would be inferior with rum rather than cachaca or with cheap grenadine.

Spare Parts

1 1⁄2 oz Bourbon (or rye)
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Simple syrup
1⁄2 oz Rhubarb liqueur, Art in the Age
Instructions

Shake all components with ice and strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice.

Notes

To make the IPA syrup: combine 12 oz IPA (Delicious IPA by Stone used) with 1 teaspoon orange flower water and 12 oz sugar on the stove and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes

History

Looking for a cocktail to use for craft beer week, tried an IPA simple syrup and played with it.

Curated this slightly: moved the IPA syrup instructions to the notes section to avoid line breakage. Thanks,  Zachary

I like it.  Not sure about the instruction to discard the peel - certainly with Rittenhouse 100 as the rye there's no need to be delicate!
