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

Rocketry

1 1⁄2 oz Gin
3⁄4 oz Kirschwasser
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Simple syrup (or ~2 teaspoons fine granulated sugar; Shellenberger calls for 8g)
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
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.
