Tried with both angostura and orange bitters, orange preferred. Might use a bit less citrus next time. Overall a lovely and balanced drink.

The Bittermens things are linked to the category Bitters, so I moved the brand to the notes section temporarily.

Weirdly enough, the recipe handwritten by the bartender at the cited link calls for Fever Tree lemonade, which was traded out for their tonic.

Smells of gin and mint garnish. Tastes strongly of gin, but with nice undertones of sweet and tart. Can even pick up traces of the herbelness in the Chartreuse. Ratios are perfect. I really like it.

Corpse Reminder #1

Instructions

Shake ice, liquors and lemon juice until chilled. Strain into a chalice, float a lemon peel and add two dashes of bitters on top of the peel

History

Bitter, sweet-tart, and Cognac-ie enough to "remind" you of a reviver, without the potency

Jinjer King

1 oz Ginger shrub (*homemade)
1 part Egg white
1 1⁄2 oz Tonic water
Instructions

Dry shake Canton, Jameson & egg white for ~10 seconds; add ice and shrub and shake till well chilled. Strain into a (8 oz) glass Irish coffee mug and top with tonic--enough to force the meringue over the lip

Notes

*for any cold-process shrub: mix equal parts fruit/peel/herb with sugar and apple cider/red wine vinegar; let stand in a mason jar at room temp for 2 days, strain and re-jar; refrigerate for two weeks and keep for 6 months +

History

One of my cocktailing buddies is a "Big Ginger" fan (a Minneapolis staple), so we were looking to utilize the same flavor elements but with a fuller body and mouthfeel
