Hawaii-Hyogo Pipeline

3 oz Sweet Sake, Nigori (Unfiltered)
3⁄4 oz Dark rum, Koloa
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain, enjoy.

Notes

Sho Chiku Bai used on the original, Drink briskly or keep it cold.

History

Found nigori sake a bit sweet, inspired by how nicely a shot can fortify a PBR,focused sweetness goes great with spicy/salty/tart foods.

Alpine Jewel

1⁄2 oz Gin, Beefeater 24
1⁄2 oz Flavored vodka, 66 Gilead (Canadian Pine)
1 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Antica Formula
1⁄2 oz Amaro Montenegro
1⁄2 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
Instructions

Add all ingredients to mixing glass along with ice and stir until chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe. No garnish

Notes

As you can imagine, this one is for those that like a healthy dose of herbaceousness in their cocktails. 66 Gilead makes their Pine Vodka by distilling fresh pine needles into their whole wheat vodka, "capturing the essence of Canada’s Boreal Forest." You could sub in Clear Creek's Douglas Fir eau-de-vie, I'm sure.

History

Picked up a bottle of 66 Gilead's Pine Vodka and tried several cocktails looking for a good use for it. Settled on this Bijou variant. The combination of pine, herbal liqueur and a zesty, spicy, vegetal amaro makes me think of Alpine Tundra.

  • Made with Clear Creek's Douglas Fir eau-de-vie. Tried one with St. George Terroir Gin and one with Beefeater. I preferred St. George. — ★★★★
  • Made with Clear Creek Douglas Fir Eau de Vie and Uncle Val's botanical gin. Very well balanced, very good.
  • Substitute Bols for the Flavored Vodka
  • Think Cascade Street gin in place of the pine vodka.

I made this with Clear Creek and it definitely worked! I also used Uncle Val's botanical gin, and the botanicals in the gin, the sweet/bitter herbals of the Chartreuse/Montenegro, and the pine flair from the Douglas Fir Eau de Vie were incredibly well balanced.

Voleur de Roses

2 1⁄4 oz Islay Scotch, Laphroaig 10
1⁄4 oz Cherry Liqueur, Cherry Heering
1⁄4 oz Maraschino Liqueur, Luxardo
1⁄4 oz Rose water
1 ds Peychaud's Bitters
1 bsp Simple syrup
Instructions

Shake, strain, garnish with a Luxardo cherry and an edible rose petal.

Notes

If you've never smelled Voleur de Roses, it smells like the most perfect rose laid on a grave. It's all roses at first, but patchouli and white musk erase it over time. I know it's a lot of rosewater, but...

  • Exceptional and delicious. I might try reducing the simple syrup a little. Used Port Charlotte Scotch.
  • I had to use Speyside, so I missed out on the peatiness, but it was still amazing. I'll have to try again with proper Islay scotch for the full effect.
  • Scotch- sweet, peaty, floral

Just received a bottle of rose water for Christmas today and it was cracked open to make this drink.  At full strength, it might have been a bit much for this recipe in the amounts written, but it was still a delicious cocktail that we will try again.

Quite excellent - tastes better than the nose. Syrup seems necessary. Could play with Heering/Luxardo proportions?

The Queen's Drink

1 oz Gin
2 oz Aromatized wine, Dubonnet Rouge
1 sli Lemon
Instructions

In a mixing glass, combine the gin and Dubonnet, stir well. Strain into a rocks glass. Add a lemon slice, and on top of the lemon slice place a large ice cube or a couple normal-sized ice cubes.

Notes

Reportedly the daily tipple of Queen Elizabeth. Supposedly her preference is 30-70 gin to Dubonnet (so, 3/4 oz and 2 1/4 oz, rather than 1 oz and 2 oz).
