This combination of absinthe, gin, and bitters give an earthy flavor and brings out the sweetness in the tonic water. You can also substitute lime juice for lemon juice.

It started from a trail and error of what tastes good together.

Since the recipe has very specific ingredients, I have tried variations to see if the recipe can 'opened' up. I have tried both Ransom Old Tom and
Plymouth for the gin; they both work but the Death's Door gives you a better flavor. With the tonic water, I have tried brands with and without corn syrup sweetener. It turns out, the corn syrup sweetener works better.

Tucker commented on 12/21/2014:

Always hate to be negative but not really a fan. In fairness, did not have Death's Door on hand so used Berkshire Mountain Greylock. Not surprisingly, the absinthe dominates. Couldn't see serving as an alternative to a G&T.

  • Very fresh and floral! The lavender may taste like soap if you don't like flowery drinks but otherwise a solid drink. — ★★★★

Dan commented on 6/20/2012:

Moderated slightly to change units to volume. Originally specified as 1/2 part (and I think you meant 1/2 each) lime. Limes are generally about 1 oz. Similarly I change 1/2 "part" grapefruit to 3 ounces, since a whole grapefruit yields about 6 oz of juice.

Wild Flower

1 oz Gin
1⁄2 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
1⁄2 oz Bourbon, Wild Turkey 101
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
Instructions

Shake on ice, strain, enjoy

Notes

Don't get cute and put a Luxardo in it, this is the only drink that de-enhances with such a gem; a large snifter is suggested for serving - full olfactory experience is the point here

  • Strawberry infused elderflower liquor being hard to come by, I just used straight St. Germain, which works just fine. Next time I did it, I would consider muddling a small slice of strawberry, though, as I can see where it w

This is really good; funky, fruity, a little floral, not too sweet. I love this combination of spirits, and never would have thought to put them together on my own. I muddled a little fresh strawberry in place of the infusion. One of my favorite Pisco cocktails so far- thanks!

Super Ego

1 part Bourbon, Wild Turkey 101
1 part Campari (shy)
1 part Aromatized wine, Lillet Rouge
1 ds Bourbon (vanilla infused - see note)
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 Cherry, Luxardo (some syrup, and popped)
Instructions

Shake over ice, strain, add cherry. Heavy old fashioned glass is the vessel of choice.

Notes

Can substitute Old Grand-Dad for Wild Turkey 101.

For the vanilla-infused bourbon, use any brand of vanilla extract that has a bean in it (once empty of the original contents) and then refill it with bourbon. . Repeat for the rest of your life. The vanilla bean/seed will last a long time.

Dan commented on 6/12/2012:

Thanks for posting. Moderated slightly to fit our style guidelines. By "Mix", do you mean to slightly crush the cherry? What glass do you use? How much is "some syrup"? We we converted the units to ounces (1 part = 1 ounce), it would come out to a nice sized drink, and the awkward 1/10 part would be about 1/2 tsp.

take a look, i made some edits based on your suggestions

Made as per this recipe, and it was lovely! However, the vid linked to has 1 oz pours, and a bit more ginger beer, and I'm curious about that, too. Will probably do a side by side, with the video version and this version.
