Rocketry

1 1⁄2 oz Gin

1 bsp Crème de Violette
1 twst Lemon peel (expressed and discarded)
Instructions

Shake, strain, up, twist.

Notes

Shellenberger redistills his kirsch with chipotle peppers for aromatics; perhaps a chipotle-infused simple syrup here would produce a comparable aroma.

Garden Variety

3⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
3⁄4 oz Cassis
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
3 oz Sparkling white wine
Instructions

Shake, strain, flute, top. Before serving, Shellenberger has the imbiber apply his custom Lilac Vegetal hand sanitizer for aromatics, so perhaps a spritz of lavender would serve a similar function here.

Tastes pretty lifeless as written. I added 15 mL of cynar, which helped spice things up, but it's still missing something.

Thanks Zachary - may need to review again, I had copied the wrong recipe by mistake and had to rewrite

That's easy enough - I can make the changes, but you should have an edit button just below the cocktail.

Thanks,

Quite nice, actually. Especially while listening to vintage cuts by Jim Reeves, Patsy Cline or Chet Atkins. The "Nashville Sound" genre was often referred to locally in Nashville as "Countrypolitan". Frankly, though, I'd stick with the lemon in this.

I agree, I just listed lime in this recipe recipe as Wondrich hadn't indicated otherwise. Patsy Cline a must, though I also enjoy the more contemporary take on the Nashville Sound linked in the notes.

If you've never heard Hem - they were a big deal a few years back - it's lovely dreamy Countrypolitan.

Thanks,

Zachary
