  • Huge and too sweet. I wonder if just skipping the agave would improve this. I do think there's promise in the flavor combination.

  • A little too much lime. I would adjust lime juice down to 1/2 oz or up the rest. But promising.
  • Excellent!

  • This has some good bones, but needs work. I ended up adding 1/4 oz demerara to try to save it. It was better, but still not great.
  • Smokey and bitter. Maybe the up the lime?

About Face

1 1⁄2 oz Kummel, Gilka
1⁄2 oz Simple syrup
1⁄2 oz Gin, Citadelle
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
3 Raspberry
1 Egg yolk
Instructions

Build in a shaker, adding yolk last and giving it a dry shake. Shake hard quickly then strain into a collins glass. Fill with crushed ice.

Notes

Reminds me of a Golden Age cocktail from the VH days. Combier Kummel works too but has even more caraway and I think it a bit much.

History

Made for the Blackbird Winter 2014/15 menu, flavor combination introduced by Fernando Villa.
