Ron-Yki-On Guess

2 oz Rum (Roasted ginger infused)
2 oz Grapefruit juice
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Agave syrup
3 dr Cardamom bitters
Instructions

Shake and strain all but the bitters - float this on top. To shortcut the ginger infused rum, I did a rapid infusion with an ISI cream whipper and fresh ginger

Notes

Please correct if you know better, especially if you are Greg.

Original calls for ginger infused rum; as a shortcut I did a rapid infusion of fresh ginger in an ISI cream whipper. Original has cardamom-sugar rim instead of the bitters.

East Bay Sunset

1 oz Aromatized wine, Lillet Blanc
1 oz Aperol
1 oz Gin, Hendrick's
2 oz Dry white wine
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain, serve

Notes

Substitute dry vermouth for less bitterness, modest minerally white (budget sauvignon blanc) blends well, but less vino or more aggressive gin can tip the balance nicely

History

Tired of Kirs, inspired by summer leftovers including an Unusual Negroni

  • Comes out a beautiful color orange. This is actually much more complex than you'd expect. Strong citrus flavor, and the Aquavit adds that extra layer to the flavor.
  • Used Brennivín. Tastes mostly like orgeat and lime although a tiny bit of caraway can be sensed. Would reduce both next time.
  • Made with Brennivín. Pale pink, but the taste is not so "girly." Good! — ★★★★
