Y’all know how much I love to #partner with local spirits and I’m happy to bring you another original recipe with my good friends over at @sutlersspiritsco - If you’ve never had it before, the gin itself is considered a contemporary or ‘western’ style gin which means its more citrus-forward than a traditional gin. . This cocktail is a bit of a departure from my usual, spirit forward cocktails because wanted to bring something a little fruitier, vegetal and balanced to the palate, while still letting the Sutler’s Gin shine through all the other complex flavors. Really enjoyed making this one and hope you try it out. (FYI, the juice can be bought off the shelf, no need for a fancy juicer, unless you really want to) •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• THE SIGHTSEER •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ▫️1½ oz. @sutlersspiritco Gin ▫️1 oz. Carrot/Tumeric/Ginger Juice ▫️½ oz. Honey Simple Syrup ▫️½ oz. Ginger Liqueur ▫️¼ oz. Tumeric Cordial ▫️¼ oz. Fresh Lemon Juice ▫️4 Drops @crudebitters Orange Bitters •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Combine all ingredients except the garnish in a shaking tin with ice. Shake vigorously and double strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a fresh carrot leaf (optional). Serve and enjoy!
So I thought its been a while since I’ve posted a pic of my home bar. As I’m sure y’all have noticed, this also happens to be my ‘studio’, R&D station, entertaining space and sometimes even my office. I know it’s nothing crazy compared to what’s out there but it absolutely is one of my favorite places in our home (right up there with the kitchen 😉) - do you have a home bar set up? If so, post it up on your story and tag me!
