Really enjoyed this. The (relatively) huge amount of Angostura balances nicely with the S&C.  Used Jerry Thiomas bitters as garnish; not the best choice as they're the same colour as the rest of the drink!

Zachary Pearson commented on 3/18/2013:

Hmm.... which Falernum do you like here? I'd imagine that it'd need to be shaken to dissolve the stuff. Would the instructions be shake, pour into a copper mug, top with ginger beer and garnish?

The Dillinger

4 oz Gin, Plymouth
1 oz Bianco Vermouth, Dolin
1 oz Salt Solution (pickle brine, see note)
Instructions

Combine ingredients in a glass or shaker with ice, stir until cold, strain into coupe or martini glass. Garnish with a sprig of dill, slice of pickle

Notes

Homemade pickle brine is the salt solution. My brine is vinegar, kosher salt, dill, chili flakes, garlic, black peppercorns. The salty/spicy of the brine is a nice foil for the sweetness of the vermouth and the juniper of the gin. Delicious!

History

I made some homemade pickles that are addicting, we are always trying to figure out ways to incorporate new ingredients to cocktails!

Curated slightly - to fix the line break, I moved the description of the salt solution to the notes section. Do you have a recipe for the brine that you'd like to share?

Ckmdvminatx commented on 3/17/2013:

Thanks for the assist, it is my first time posting here!

Brine is from a recipe on serious eats that I tweaked a little, and makes the most delicious pickles I've ever had!

http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/08/garlic-dill-pickles.html

recipe as I made it:
1 1/2 cups white vinegar, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups filtered water
4 tablespoons kosher salt
8 garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 cup ish of fresh dill cut from stems
2 teaspoons black peppercorns
1 tablespoon red chili flakes

boil water, vinegar and salt until salt is dissolved. Pour over quartered cucumbers, garlic and other ingredients in a mason jar. Refrigerate for 1 week. Voila! Best pickles and brine ever.

Fourth Degree

2 oz Gin, Plymouth
1 oz Sweet vermouth, Noilly Prat
1 ds Absinthe
1 twst Lemon peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir, strain, lemon twist garnish.

Notes

The OP had 2 dashes of orange bitters instead of the absinthe, no lemon twist, an ice ball and olives (see picture). The Savoy calls for 1/3 ea gin, French and Italian vermouth and 4 dashes of absinthe.

  • Used a different recipe * 3/4 oz Gin * 3/4 oz sweet vermouth * 3/4 oz dry vermouth * 1tsp of absinthe It was okay, nice finish, but the taste seemed a little conflicted and unbalanced.

Craig E commented on 3/27/2015:

Savoy and other sources call for a mix of sweet and dry vermouths in their Fourth Degrees, and in much more vermouth-heavy proportions than these.

Bulwer-Lytton

2 oz Gin, Beefeater (Earl Grey-infused)
3 oz Ginger beer
2 ds Lavender bitters
1 wdg Lime
1 wdg Bergamot orange (if available)
Instructions

Build in a highball over ice. Squeeze the lime wedge and drop it in. Give a quick stir and serve. Earl Grey Gin: steep a bag of Earl Grey tea in one cup of gin until infused to your taste, then strain. Note: blanching tea before infusing it removes many of the harsh tannins.

Notes

Named for Victorian novelist Edward Bulter-Lytton, author of the phrase "It was a dark and stormy night" and namesake of a contest for worst opening line. A British take on the Dark 'n' Stormy. Also good with spruce beer subbing for ginger beer.

  • Surprisingly floral and (unsurprisingly) citrus-y, with an almost jasmine tea character. The flavors blend together in a lovely way. Experiment with Earl Grey gin in other recipes

Bob Stinson

12 oz Beer, Pabst Blue Ribbon (ice cold)
1 oz Bourbon, Wild Turkey 101
1⁄4 oz Bitters, Angostura (6-8 dashes)
Instructions

Pour the ice cold beer into a mason jar along with the whiskey and bitters. Stir gently. Drink.

Notes

Bob Stinson was the founding guitarist of The Replacements, the rowdiest, drunkest bar band of its time, until he was kicked out for excessive boozing. Here's a better, bittered boilermaker worthy of the man. Pour yourself one of these, throw on "Bastards of Young," kick back, ponder how much you would have to drink to get kicked out of The Replacements, toast Bob's memory, take a sip, enjoy.

History

I'm proud to be the first person on Kindred Cocktails to specify brand PBR.

This is a wonderful cocktail but it calls for white vermouth, not red.
