  • 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

christina in tacoma commented on 6/29/2012:

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.

TrinSF commented on 1/05/2023:

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.

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