Garden Variety

3⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
3⁄4 oz Cassis

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.

Curated this slightly - we assume you're going to have fresh lemons on hand.

Thanks,

Zachary


Arrack commented on 1/26/2014:

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


Zachary Pearson commented on 1/26/2014:

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

Thanks,

3⁄4 oz Drambuie
1 twst Lemon peel
3 Clove (for studding lemon peel)

Rob Marais commented on 1/21/2014:

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.


DrunkLab commented on 1/21/2014:

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.


Zachary Pearson commented on 1/21/2014:

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

Thanks,

Zachary
