  • Tasty. I used a 6yr Calvados from Arien Camut. Also, I chose to shake this one.

Very good, cidery drink. Instead of an infused cinnamon syrup, I just used garden-variety cinnamon syrup plus a scant barspoon of allspice dram. I also think this should be shaken.

In-Flight-Cookie

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Aviation
1 oz Ginger liqueur, Domaine de Canton
1 oz Half-and-half
1 T Cookie, Speculoos (*)
1⁄4 t Maple syrup
3 ds Aztec Chocolate bitters, Fee Brothers
4 dr Cardamom bitters, Scrappy's
1 ds Nutmeg
Instructions

Dry shake all but nutmeg to incorporate speculoos. Add ice and shake till chilled, double strain into a lowball glass, and garnish with nutmeg

Notes

*Speculoos is a European cookie butter. It has a light gingerbread flavor.

History

I had a crazy idea to make a winter cocktail using the buttery cookie flavored spread, speculoos. Aviation gin partnered well because it has a light cardamom flavor that goes great with the gingerbread notes in the cookie butter. Although it's not chocolate chip, the combination of "aviation" and cookies reminded me of the old days of fresh baked, inflight snacks on Midwest Airlines

  • Made with Cocchi VdT and Dolin, to spec. Cinnamon on nose. Sip is sweet cherry, a little bubble gum. Could skew the proportions towards dry, but this is pretty tasty.
  • I like 1 1/2 Dry and 1/2 Sweet Vermouth for more balance. Prefer garnished with lemon twist.
