28 Oct Cocktail: Instant Crush
Inspired by the flavours and ingredients in our Bittered Sling relationship. Jonathan developed a bitters after my personality, the “Moondog”, and in return, I have developed a cocktail inspired by his favourite flavours, creating a perfectly balanced elixir that we instantly lust after.
Ingredients:
1.00 oz Don Julio Reposado Tequila
0.50 oz Alipus Mezcal
0.50 oz Fernet Branca
0.50 oz Okanagan Spirits Blackcurrant Liqueur
0.75 oz Martini Blanco Vermouth
2 dashes Bittered Sling Plum & Rootbeer Bitters
Method:
Add all ingredients to a mixing glass, add ice and stir until well chilled and diluted – about 15-20 seconds. Using a julep strainer, pour over fresh ice in an old fashioned glass. Garnish with a long peel of orange, pinched into a heart-shape onto the top of the glass, held together with a thin cinnamon twig.
