  • Good - the rhubarb and strawberry is a good combo. The age of tequila is not specified- I used a Reposado.

Well balanced sweet/sour, modest alcohol heat, and fruit/bitter. I muddled the sliced strawberries before shake, and used 10 drops of rhubarb bitters. Great color, good nose. I sense the rhubarb bitter is coming through and augmenting the rest.

  • I cut the lime to 3/4 oz. and the simple syrup to about 1/2 oz., nice sweet-tart balance while still tasting the gin.
  • close but lacked the depth needed to keep it interesting. The Greenall's gin faded behind the tart sweetness of the lime juice and pomegranate molasses. A more flavorful gin would likely do better.

Looks a bit brown and mucky but tastes lovely!

A sweet and tart cocktail. The pomegranate molasses is a nice new flavor for me, and the gin used makes a difference. I used a botanical Freeland Spirits blue Gin. It IS brown, but it's a nice autumn color, real pretty with some pomegranate seeds and a sprig of mint.

I removed 1 3/4oz of Yellow Chartreuse, which doesn't appear in the original cocktail and I suspect was a typo. If this was intended, then you might indicate it in the Your Comments section of your Cocktail Book entry.

You know who would really like this? Dan. He loves Creme Yvette... the more the better.

Dan commented on 9/08/2011:

Actually, I've never tried Creme Yvette because I have a 267-year supply of Creme de Violette to use up first. ;)

Dan,

If you dissolved pink Peeps in Creme de Violette, you might have Creme Yvette... you will now have nightmares.

I really like the way the Calvados, Chartreuse, and Creme Yvette combine, but I'm not sure that I care for the gin flavor in the mix- I'll try with less next time, as this was a little boozy-tasting. I used Tanqueray which maybe wasn't the best choice...

Finally tried again, 1.5 Calvados and no gin which I think it is an improvement. Fruity but not cloying. Worth toying with, and if you don't have Creme Yvette (I have a huge bottle to use up) most any floral liqueur would work...

  • I love the East Side, and this is so much better. Top fave! Up the mint and cucumber a bit though.
  • A very simple but solid drink that feels very 2010 to me. Good but unremarkable.
  • Gin- sweet, refreshing
  • Made with cucumber-infused Greenall's gin. Accessible and tasty. Using a more "ginny" gin might help differentiate this from, say, a daiquiri. — ★★★★★
  • A bit too lime dominant for me, a fat pour on the st germain improves it. Maybe reduce gin a touch next time.

Made this with St. George "Botanivore" and lemon juice. Excellent.
I used two full mint leaves but the cucumber overpowers the mint a bit.
Next time, I'll use only one cucumber slice.

I thought this was really refreshing. I'm not a huge gin fan, but this was extremely well balanced. I even used Tanquerey opposed to a couple of our less Juniper-heavy gins we tend to favor. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I intend to have this gin cocktail again this summer.
