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.

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.

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.

  • 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

lesliec commented on 9/10/2013:

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.
