The Last Word Photo: Ulterior Epicure
I went to our liquor cabinet for a cocktail after work and was dismayed to find no gin. It's been too long (cold weather is to blame) since I've made a non-whiskey cocktail and all we had was an ounce of Junipero. Booze is like women- sometimes you prefer spicy to sweet. After shaking up a shot-glass-sized Aviation to satisfy my taste, I took stock of my favorite gin drinks around town and added a couple bottles of juniper spirits to the shopping list.
Cocktail that inspire me:
- The December Morn (Hendricks Gin, Luxardo Marachino, Cherryy Brandy, Lime, Egg White) - Blackbird.
- The Last Word (Gin, Green Chartreuse, Maraschino, Lime)- Longman and Eagle
- Welcome Back (Broker’s Gin, St. Germain, Lillet, Lemon, North Shore Absinthe) - The Whistler
- 20th Century (Death's Door, Lemon Créme de Cacao White, Lillet) - Violet Hour
- Bonus drink I though was made from gin until I asked- Winter of '75 (based on a French 75, which I prefer with gin, and flavored with pine cone syrup) - Lula
