Damn you, Stew! You made me go to Sur la Table to get that caramel syrup! Don't you know how easy it is to blow huge wads of cash in that place?... Seriously though, this sounds phenomenal; I can't wait to actually try it. And my mind is racing with other possibilities for the syrup!


Bevx commented on 8/24/2013:

Yup. Phenomenal. Rich and decadent, but not too sweet. A slice of Granny Smith as garnish might be nice, too.



Can't wait to try this one. Does the syrup taste particularly sea salty? I'd rather make my own than buy another bottle at the moment...


Bevx commented on 8/24/2013:

To me, it doesn't taste particularly salty at all. Just the perfect amount to keep the sweet caramel from being cloying. There is a hint of vanilla too... Also, thank you for giving me an excuse to eat a spoonful of caramel sauce.


I didn't pick up on much salt either. A little more might be nice, although the Averna might not be bitter enough to warrant it.

Naval Gimlet

1 oz Lime cordial, Rose's (or homemade - see notes)
Instructions

Stir together. For an authentic shipboard Gimlet, do not add ice.

Notes

To make lime cordial, peel 4 limes, and juice 8 of them to make 1 cup of lime juice. Strain the juice and divide in half. Make a 2:1 simple syrup from half the lime juice, 1 tsp of citric acid and the peels, reducing the syrup slightly until thick. Remove from the heat, let cool, and add the remaining lime juice. Strain again and bottle. For a modern touch, a makrut (kaffir) lime leaf or two can be added to the syrup.

History

McElhone's book calls for equal parts, and I figure that this is a small drink.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is meant with "down" in instructions?


Generally speaking, "down" means chilled and in a rocks/old fashioned glass. Thanks, Zachary
