Pergélisol

1 1⁄4 oz Gin, St. George Terroir
1⁄2 oz Zirbenz Stone Pine Liqueur
1⁄4 oz Amaretto, Lazzaroni
1 bsp Bénédictine
1⁄3 oz Lemon juice
Instructions

Shake, strain, up

History

"Pergélisol" is French for permafrost; I was playing around with Zirbenz and the flavor and scent made me think of the intense greenery still frozen by the winter. I wanted to pair it with herbal and resin-ie flavors, and the St George Terroir did an excellent job of supporting the rest of the ingredients while still maintaining the spruce and bay leaf notes.

This is the least good cocktail using elderflower I've had.  I love this stuff but this is a miss:  too much elderflower or maybe the interaction with orange is wrong.  The original Corpse Reviver #2 is better.

Tart, sweet, wonderful nose where the elderflower and absinthe intertwine. Must shake double long (preferably with absinthe straight from the freezer) as it is best enjoyed as cold as possible.

Was too sweet for me the first time I made it so next time I reduced the Cointreau & St. Germain to 2/3 oz and now is one of my top cocktails.

Storm Watch, Crystal Beach

1 1⁄2 oz Whiskey, McCarthy's
3⁄4 oz Bourbon, Old Grand Dad (Bonded)
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Suze
1 bsp Simple syrup
2 ds Bitters, Fish Sauce Bitters (see note)
1 rinse Pastis, Herbsaint
Instructions

Chill a coupe with ice. Pour in a little Herbsaint like you're making a Sazerac and discard the ice and Herbsaint (though leaving a little is nice). Shake and strain everything else into the chilled glass.

Notes

McCarthy's is Clear Creek's peated whiskey. The bitters were made by a friend and are (evidently) half and half Peychaud's and fish sauce.

Great name. The cocktail is good and interesting, but it is a bit rich--I might have been a little heavy on the agave syrup. When I remake I will cut the syrup back to 1/2 barspoon or less.

Orejas de las Abejas

1 1⁄2 oz Gin
3⁄4 oz Honey syrup (1:1)

Notes

Softer gins seem to work better here. Beefeater & Ford's were okay, but Martin Miller Westbourne was divine.

  • Nice; light; honey; citrus; slightly spicy
  • A slightly spicy gin daiquiri?
  • Nice! I punched it up w/a bit more Ancho and less Gin
Similar cocktails

Very good. I also added a bit more Ancho Reyes and felt that improved it (but I prefer stronger flavors).

Poor, a middle ground between Planters punch and Singapore sling...

sorry you didn't enjoy it. that cocktail combination never really occurred to me as i was constructing the drink--i thought the averna and bitters added a more herbal/spiced flavor undertone than the heavier "tropical" sweetness
