"Mountain Laurel" —————————— Ingredients: • 2 oz gin • 1 oz grapefruit juice • 1/4 oz honey syrup • 1 bar spoon lemon juice • dash cracked pepper • sprig of rosemary Instructions: Shake all ingredients then strain into a coupe. Garnish with a rosemary sprig and cracked pepper. They say it's going to be the summer of the spritz...the "Apollo Spritz" marries the bittersweetness of an Aperol spritz with the French 75. If you prefer something a tad sweeter add a splash of simple syrup.🍊🍾 Ingredients: • 1.5 oz gin • 1/2 oz lychee liqueur • 1 oz grapefruit juice (use ruby red for a sweeter spritz) • 1/2 barspoon rosewater • Prosecco to top Instructions: Shake gin, grapefruit, rosewater and lychee with ice. Strain into a large cocktail glass, top with prosecco and grapefruit twist The "Pink Flag" shows just how much one ingredient, in this case sage, can elevate a cocktail. Another superb selection from @deathandconyc Ingredients: • 2 oz Dry Gin • 1/4 oz Crème Yvette • 1/2 oz Lemon juice • 1/2 oz Pineapple juice • 1/2 oz orgeat • 2 sage leaves Instructions: Muddle sage leaves in shaker. Add remaining ingredients, shake with ice and strain into a chilled coupe. There's no better way to close out #negroniweek than with a sunny "Pink Negroni": • 2 oz. Gin • 1 oz. Campari • 1 oz. Lillet Blanc • 1 oz. Lemon Juice • 3 Dashes Scrappy's Grapefruit Bitters • Garnish w/ Grapefruit Peel Quietly seductive. "The Quill": • 1 oz Barrel Finished @bluecoatgin • 1 oz Dolin Vermouth de Chambéry Rouge • 1 oz Campari • Rinse of absinthe Sip slowly. #negroniweek Ah! Negroni! Where to begin? Legend has it that in 1919 Florence, Italy, Count Camillo Negroni asked his friend, bartender Forsco Scarselli, to strengthen his favourite cocktail – the Americano – by replacing the soda water with gin. Bravissimo! Today I replaced the gin with mezcal to give you the "Mezcal Negroni". More variations to come this week! -T The "Champs Elysées" (cognac, green chartreuse, lemon, simple, angostura bitters) has become a classic since its 1930 appearance in Henry Craddock's Savoy Cocktail Book. The "Du Barry" shares its name with the infamous mistress of the Sun King, Madame du Barry, who scandalized Versailles. Much like the lady, don't let the dainty appearance fool you! ———————— Ingredients: • 1 oz gin • 1/2 oz French vermouth • 1 teaspoon Pernod • dash angostura bitters Instructions: Stir all ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Bluecoat will always hold an honorary space in our home bar. It was the first craft gin we ever tried, and quickly became our go-to dry gin. Its bold blue bottle and smooth taste will always remind us of the city of brotherly love no matter where we are. As our infatuation continues, we’ll be drinking the “Dandelion” all throughout our #BluecoatSummer. Cheers! -N & T ________________________________ The Dandelion: Ingredients: • 1 oz Bluecoat Gin • 1 oz Cointreau • 1 oz Apricot brandy • 1/2 oz lemon juice • 2 dashes cardamom bitters • lemon twist for garnish Instructions: Shake all ingredients with ice. Strain into a chilled coupe and garnish with a long lemon twist.
