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.

  • Subbed Torani for Amere Nouvelle. Not much more than sum of parts -quite sweet, chartreuse, and a bit of juniper from the gin. I've never had Amere Nouvelle, but I feel like this needs something with some more mid-tone notes.

Stir, strain, up, coupe, garnish with grapefuit zest and a rose petal

Notes

Dashes of Fernet are from a re-used Angostura bottle, about 1 tsp total.

Qualified for the Finals of the 2012 Diageo Wolrd Class competition. Paulo "made it thinking about mother-in-laws and their sweet/bitter dualities. The lychee comes as subtle perfume, in the best possible way.'

  • Good use of lychee - I had no idea what to expect but was surprised how much I liked this despite it's sweetness and use of Fernet which often overpowers. This is a winner!
  • Excellent. Just a hint of menthol from the Fernet. Used Beefeater and sub'd Thyme liqueur for Lychee. Try with St. Germain or Pear eau-de-vie — ★★★★
