Dan commented on 9/29/2011:

Curated to add quantity of condensed milk, remove coffee quantity from ingredient name, and add reference. Also removed Borden's since I bet any condensed milk will work fine and I don't really see the need for Kindred Cocktails to have to know about Borden's as a brand.

Plymouth Express

1 3⁄8 oz Gin, Plymouth
2⁄3 oz Triple sec
2 ds Orange bitters
4 oz Coffee
Instructions

Make coffee (original recipe used espresso but strong coffee from a French press/cafetiere is fine). Mix all ingredients in cocktail shaker and serve in cocktail glass. No garnish.

Notes

I am yet to try a little chocolate powder or cinnamon in the mixture.

Alternatively, as it has a nice crema, put the chocolate or cinnamon on top.

I found that a little but of salt improved this cocktail remarkably. I used unsweetened cold brew. It could be that some more dilution from icing freshly made espresso or hot coffee would have resulted in a similar improvement to the balance.

Gin Garden

1 3⁄8 oz Gin, Plymouth
2⁄3 oz Cucumber (Peeled. If you don't have a juicer, muddle it.)
1 3⁄8 oz Apple juice (Fresh if possible.)
1 ds Elderflower syrup, Monin
Instructions

Combine ingredients in a shaker with ice, serve in cocktail glass with cucumber garnish.

Depending on the acidity of the apples, you may wish to add simple syrup or lemon juice to taste.

I tasted it at the Plymouth distillery, but with lemon juice in place of the elderflower. They also used a sweet (but not sweetened) bottled apple juice.

Plenty of online recipes add the elderflower.

Ancient Mariner

1 oz Jamaican rum (Appleton 12 yr)
1 oz Demerara Rum (Lemon Hart 80 Proof)
1⁄4 oz Allspice Dram, St. Elizabeth
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Grapefruit juice
1⁄2 oz Simple syrup
1 spg Mint

Shake, strain into ice-filled old-fashioned glass, garnish with mint and lime wedge

Notes

I would start with less allspice dram and add more if you want it- the flavor is strong. Orgeat in place of simple syrup is good.

  • Really good with Appleton 12, El Dorado 12, and 1 tsp allspice dram.
  • Used V/X, and approximated the Lemon Hart by diluting Hamilton 151. Solid tiki offering. Nice mix of citrus and spice. — ★★★★

Its obviously a Big Lebowski reference! "Sometimes the bar eats you; sometimes you eat the bar" says Sam Elliott as he drinks a Sioux City sarsaparilla.

A solid negroni variant. I used 1 3/4 gin, 3/4 elderflower and 1/2 oz campari, orange twist. Light and refreshing. I used Beefeater to help balance the sweet components. 3 1/2 stars.
