  • Good, though I prefer the varinat that has dry vermouth and is shaken that appears in Paul Harrington's book.

  • Good but not real good. Used WT's Rare Breed (108.2 proof). Perhaps a quality lower proof bourbon? Perhaps expressed orange peel? Rate 3 as is.

2 1/2 oz Maple Rye, Tap 357
1/4 oz Cinnamon Schnapps, Goldschlager
2 ds Bitters, Fee Brothers Old Fashion

BritInNoCal commented on 5/23/2013:

I used Fees Cranberry bitters in place of Angostura, which worked to make a brighter drink.

maestro898 commented on 12/16/2013:

I haven't tried this yet, but it's a great idea! I'm looking forward to this one.

Tucker commented on 11/05/2014:

I make a variation of this with Cornelius Applejack, which is aged in ex-bourbon barrels lending it more of a whiskey profile than a brandy one. Works really well with the maple syrup.

Jardin Féerique

1⁄2 oz Absinthe, Mephisto
1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Death's Door
2 ds Bitters, Bitter Truth Celery
2 t Lemon juice
8 oz Tonic water
Instructions

Put 4 ice cubes into a ~12 oz tall glass. Add absinthe,gin,bitters,lemon juice and swirl around to mix. Top off glass with tonic water. Stir and serve.

Notes

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.

History

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

LUH5147 commented on 2/23/2013:

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. — ★★★★
  • Make with 2 oz gin 1 oz elderflower liqueur

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
