  • Very tart w/eureka lemons w/o simple syrup. We may try it with some sour cherry syrup that is sweeter than the Luxardo. — ★★

  • Too tart or missing something. Not sure how to fix. I added .25 oz of simple syrup. Not better.

Delphine

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Breuckelen Distilling Glorious Gin
1 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Americano
1⁄2 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
1 bsp Absinthe, Letherbee (Barrel aged)
2 oz Club soda
1 sli Tangerine
1 t Sugar, Domino (vanilla infused, see note)
Instructions

Muddle the slice of tangerine (peeled) with the sugar and absinthe in a Collins glass. Add remaining ingredients – except the club soda – and stir a few times. Add the ice, top with the soda, express the peel.

Notes

To make the vanilla sugar, I leave a vanilla bean, split and cut into a few pieces, in the standard container Domino superfine sugar comes in for at least a week.
The Breuckelen is rather grapefruit-forward and on the lighter end. I thought vanilla would go well with it, and Cocchi is always lovely, but this is almost too delicate. I'm open to suggestions.

Wytches' Brew

2 oz Gin
3⁄4 oz Limoncello
1⁄4 oz Calvados
2 ds Fernet Branca
1 ds Absinthe, Pernod
Instructions

Stir, straight up, no garnish

Notes

For the better drink, use softer London dry gin or switch to Plymouth gin.
Aside from Fernet Branca and Pernod Absinthe, my choice were Bulldog / Cuor di Limoncello / Christian Drouin Calvados VSOP.

Chocolate start, cola finish. Skipped the sherry (mine had gone bad), and was thinking an aromatic might be nice. Green Chartreuse?
