Débarquement

2 oz Gin, Aviation
1 oz Peach liqueur, Edmond Briottet
1⁄4 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1 twst Lemon peel
Instructions

Shake, strain, up and garnish

History

Crème de Pêche and St. Germain meld well, and I knew I wanted to use them in a gin based cocktail--Aviation doesn't "gin-out" the subtler flavors in the drink but still provides interesting Indian sarsaparilla and green cardamom notes

  • Used my still-aging homemade peach liqueur on 7/28/20. Might need a bit simple or more of the liqueur.
  • Too sweet for my taste
  • Gin- sweet, sour

I found this to be… inoffensive. It wasn’t bad but it’s not anything I would be clamoring to make again.

  • A Ramos gin fizz substituting absinthe for gin. I would probably use less orgeat next time.

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.

DrunkLab commented on 8/24/2013:

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.

mahastew commented on 8/24/2013:

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.
