  • Drier style Negroni type drink but that little sweetness of maraschino balances it nicely. A good argument for Gran Classico as a superior bitter.

Seems unbalanced, too dry and sour for my tastes. Next time use 1/4 oz simple syrup or up the chartreuse. 

Agree that the lime dominates a bit too much. I used Beefeater 24 for my first one. I made two other variations that I enjoyed better. 1) Upping the Chartreuse to 1/2 oz and 2) Using a Navy Strength Gin [Bully Boy The Chemistry Gin] (along with the extra Chartreuse).

Lazy Summer Mornings

1 oz Gin
1⁄2 oz Peach liqueur
2 sli Peach
1⁄2 oz Simple syrup (Black pepper, see note)
4 oz Sparkling white wine
Instructions

(Drink is a work in progress)

Muddle peach slices with the simple syrup. add the gin and liqueur and stir until chilled. Double strain into champagne flute or cocktail glass and top with sparking white wine. Garnish with another peach slice.

Notes

Could easily substitute peach puree for fresh peaches.

Black Pepper Simple Syrup
1/4 cup whole black peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar

History

Peach season is quickly approaching and nothing reminds me more of summer than fresh, juicy peaches. I love to add pepper to most of my fruits and thought a drink that does the same would be divine.

1 sli Lemon peel

I prefer to use Hayman's to keep the color of the drink on the lighter side
