Kind of a pisco sour with elderflower instead of simple syrup... me likey.


Seemed like it could use a little more sweetness, the .5 St Germain was not enough to balance the oz of citrus


La Perique

1 oz Rye (Rooibos-aromatized)
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Dry vermouth
Instructions

Shake, strain, up.

Notes

It obviously won't be the same as redistilling rye with rooibos, but infusing rooibos tea in rye works well here.

Fargo commented on 3/09/2014:

Practically a Blood and Sand with vermouth... scanty.


The Pipe

3⁄4 oz Rye (rooibos-aromatized)
3⁄4 oz Aquavit (caraway-forward)
3⁄4 oz Rosato Vermouth
3⁄4 oz Dry sherry
1⁄2 oz Demerara Rum, Lemon Hart 151 (or El Dorado 151, as float)
Instructions

Stir, strain, up, float.

Notes

1. It obviously won't be the same as redistilling rye with rooibos, but infusing rooibos tea in rye works well here. 2. I've used both Lillet Rosé and Cocchi Rosa as substitutes for rosé vermouth, to good results.

  • Refreshing - similar character to Negroni Sbagliato. Also good with 1/4 oz Cocchi Americano :) (could see adding up to 1/2 oz if you like it sweeter)

Délit de Fuite

1 oz Gin, St. George Botanivore
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1⁄2 oz Campari
1 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Americano
1 ds Orange cream citrate
1 twst Orange peel
Instructions

Stir, strain, rocks, twist.

Notes

Plantes Vertes suggests a dash of Angostura to balance out her homemade orange cream citrate, which she says is rather sweet, but this may not be an issue with the Bittermens product and depending on your palate. This is a minor variation on Nick Caruana's Herban Botanist, which calls for an ounce of Cynar and no Campari: http://drinkstraightup.com/2013/05/28/variations-the-negroni/

  • Used 1.25 oz St George terroir gin and 5 drops of Bittermens orange citrate bitters. With a dropper, it's hard to know how many drops equal a dash. Will use 6 drops next time. Punchy, bitter taste. Perhaps less Campari? Rate 4
