In a perfect world, I'd write a post on every one of these drinks and who knows, maybe I will one day. But for now, I want to share some of my favorite recipes. I cannot take credit or all of these recipes some I've found online, others are inspired by current cocktails but to get us started, here are some of my favorite drinks to make:
Raspberry Orange Gin Fizz
Now, this was one of the first drinks I made for my girlfriend when she first came to visit me in New York. It was kind of an experiment but I was determined to impress her. Here's how I made it:
- 2oz Gin
-1oz Blood Orange Liquor
-Juice from 1/2 lemon
-1oz Raspberry Orange Peal Syrup (muddle raspberries in a 1:1 simple syrup mixture over medium heat and steep orange peal in the mixture)
-2-3 dashes of orange bitters
-Fill with soda water
Stir all of the ingredients except the soda water together with ice in a mixing glass and pour into a chilled martini glass. Top off the glass with soda water.
Gin Elderflower Sour
Smoking Bee
Honey & Smoke
