Why not call and get the real recipe? ;)

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 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.

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,

1 ds Lavender bitters
1 twst Lemon peel
3 Clove (for studding lemon peel)
