Mission Trip

1 1⁄2 oz Blanco tequila, Espolon
3⁄4 oz Aperol
1 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
1⁄4 oz Lime juice
1 bsp Cherry preserves (Homemade)
Instructions

Add all ingredients to shaker tin, add ice. Shake. Double strain into rocks glass and garnish with lemon peel.

Notes

You may choose to throw in 1-2 fresh sour cherries or a barspoon of Cherry Heering to replace the cherry preserves, although it's highly suggested to seek out some at a farmer's market or make your own! :)

The Beauty Spot

2 oz Gin
1 oz Vermut Rojo
1⁄2 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
Instructions

Combine all ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker or large glass. Stir the mixture thoroughly and strain into a coupe. Garnish with an orange twist.

Notes

Try it with a autumnal gin to gear it more toward the fall season. The original recipe calls for any red vermouth, I've only ever used Dolin Rouge.

History

There's a similar gin drink made with 1/2 oz of dry vermouth, 1/2 oz sweet vermouth, grenadine and orange juice so this may be a variation on that.

  • Use Ramazzotti or Averna in place of Lucano
  • Made with Patrón. Lime and sweet vermouth is an interesting combination.

  • Conceptually interesting but just not that tasty. I might never have had any 2 of rum+lime; s.vermouth; Genepy together. Feels like a very lost Daiquiri. Probably wouldn't make again.

Made with Mount Gay Black Barrel and Dolin Rouge. The flavor improved after resting so might try a longer shake next time. I'll definitely try again with a different vermouth.

  • Perhaps it was the kirsch I used, but this didn't come together for me. Has potential.

Not bad, but not much to it. I added 1/2 oz. Dry curacao and 1/4 squeezed orange for a bit more body, also cherry bitters. Needs something more...

  • Made as written and subbing Gran Classico for Aperol. Not substantially different than an Old Pal. Slightly less good.
  • Easy to drink. Gone before you know it!
  • Very tasty, made with Cuty Sark and Cinzano, which was delicious. Tasted like orange chocolate and cherry, well balanced, slightly bitter.
  • A worthwhile variant. I taste chocolate.

  • Delightful! I may ease up on the Luxardo next time.
  • I've had a few like this one lately, and this is one of the better ones. Many are too lemony, but the mint and coffee bitters I added give it complexity. Good balance.

Bijou des Alpes

1 1⁄2 oz Gin
1 oz Cardamaro
1 oz Genepy, Dolin Genepy des Alpes
2 ds Orange bitters, Regans' orange bitters
Instructions

Stir, strain, coupe.

Notes

I used Death's Door Gin, but feel free to experiment, as different gins will bring out different notes in the Cardamaro and Genepy, as will different bitters.

History

A variation of a bijou with Genepy substituted for Chartreuse and the wine-based Cardamaro subbed for the sweet vermouth.

laerm commented on 3/22/2020:

Too whiskey-sour-like with these ratios. I swapped the bourbon and Swedish punsch and added a spoon of aquavit and found it more interesting.
