  • Strong, tasty. I didn’t even have the rosemary, but I bet it would go great together.
  • used 2x bourbon - need to try with fresh rosemary — ★★★★
  • Well balanced. Nice bitterness.
  • Paia inn is more Bourbon than Gin
  • Add 1/2 oz of simple syrup to take edge off bitterness
  • Doubled the Bourbon, so 2 parts Bourbon to 1 part everything else. Great drink...
  • nice ballance - woud be better with the rosemary — ★★★★
  • Made with Fighting Cock, which was a little overassertive in an otherwise very tasty drink. — ★★★★
  • An excellent and subtle blend, the Campari taste kept under control.
  • Used good rye instead of bourbon, still good

Very tasty. I was out of Domaine de Canton so used a slightly smaller amount of ginger syrup - say ½ oz. Worked well.

THC

1 oz Gin, Catoctin Creek
2 t Absinthe, Grande Absente
1⁄8 oz Bitters, Fee Brothers Orange
1⁄4 t Bitters, Angostura
Instructions

Pour ingredients over two cubes of ice, swirl, enjoy.

Notes

There is no substitute for the Catoctin Creek Watershed Gin, it is a solid and unique gin from Loudoun County, Virginia and relatively new. The absinthe and bitters brands could likely vary.

History

The gin's slight sharpness with the absinthe and orange bitters is wonderfully complementary and was a surprising perfect match on a splendid Saturday afternoon.

  • Strangely light and bitter . Bit like the best parts of a Martini and a Negroni. I upped the Campari a little second time and added a dash of orange bitters and I preferred that.

Zachary Pearson commented on 5/26/2012:

I cleaned this up a bit - changed Almond syrup, Monin orgeat to Orgeat, Monin. Removed references to fresh juices and mint - KC assumes this already.

Dan commented on 5/30/2012:

Why do you feel the need to filter BG Reynolds? Is the punch that clear with the grapefruit and all? I have not sample Monin, but I understand it to have a strong almond extract flavor, as opposed to the BG Reynolds true almond meat flavor.

BoulderandPebbles commented on 5/30/2012:

While not seeking to create clear punch, I also strain the juice as well to remove big pulp chunks and seeds - personally I don't like the hard bits of almond (or anything that feels that gritty and looks like sand / dirt) in my cocktails - I actually prefer the strongly flavored almond extract-based syrup (but find Fee's too much in this direction) to the subtle, slightly more than simple syrup flavor of the Reynolds for this recipe where the citrus is so forward / bitter. If you don't like that almond extract flavoring, the Reynold is probably a better choice, but a different profile altogether from my perspective.
