The Eyrie

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, St. George Terroir
1⁄2 oz Eau de vie of Douglas Fir, Clear Creek
3⁄4 oz Dry vermouth
1⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
1 ds Grapefruit bitters
1 twst Grapefruit peel
Instructions

Stir, strain, up, garnish with a grapefruit twist or a pine or fir sprig.

Notes

I like to make a West Coast / Cascadian Dry Martini with 1 3/4 oz St. George Terroir, 1/4 oz Douglas Fir, grapefruit bitters, and some combination of Vya dry and a more standard dry vermouth to taste. (I call it a Cascadian.) This is a slight elaboration on that.

Either very bland or very bitter depending on the ratio of club soda. Could use a sweetener.

This is sort of a Mediterranean tiki drink. The flavor combination is sensational, but it's a little sweeter than I was hoping. Next time I'm going to try it without the simple syrup. Thanks for a delicious drink!

  • Gran Classico hell yeah
  • Even sweeter than a normal Negro. Also doesn't feel *that* different than just a Negroni. The Gran Classico is a great sub for Campari but make this with London Dry.
  • Made over ice, rocks glass, bitter, sweet, spicy... Makes an outstanding fancy negroni variation — ★★★★★
  • a new favorite. Replaced Gran Classico with Avion d'Or, from the same producer

Verrrrrry interesting. Made with La Gritona tequila, Cocchi's Dopo Teatro, Amer dit Picon from Golden Moon, and homemade creme de cacao. Part of me thinks it's missing something....I almost want it to be a *bit* sweeter, which makes sense. The folks at Golden Moon told me they modeled their Amer after the original Amer Picon and is much less sweet than the current version. Either way, it's already very good.

Black Rock Chiller

1 oz Reposado Tequila
1 oz Branca Menta
1 oz Suze
Instructions

Combine and stir without ice.

Notes

I'm taking a part to mean an ounce, making this drink the same size as Audrey Saunders' Goodnight, Irene, which this drink riffs on.

Tasty, a drink that grows on you. The first sip is reminiscent of toothpaste, then the flavors begin to blend. It’s not a drink for everyone, though.

Notes

The recipe is equal parts Punsch and Bacardi rum, with a teaspoon each lemon and orange juice. I've taken this to mean 1 oz of each.
