  Treat it like it’s springtime 

  Crisp and breezy

  • 1.5oz St. George Botanivore Gin
  • 0.5oz lime juice (fresh would be best, but I only had ReaLime)
  • 3.5oz Fever Tree Tonic Water
  • A couple cubes of celeriac (celery would do, but we happened to be cooking with celeriac)
  • 5 drops Isaan Another Level bitters (bitters, old men)

  Measure liquid into shaker, finely grate celeriac on a microplane into liquid. Give it a few minutes to infuse, then stir with ice and double-strain over rocks.

   

  The warmth is inside me

  • 1oz St. George Dry Rye Gin
  • 0.5oz Hangar One Chipotle Vodka
  • 4oz Fever Tree Ginger Beer

  Pour over ice in a rocks glass. Stir.

  Baelor’s Blessing 

  Pour Dolin Vermouth Rouge over rocks to taste. Float with Laphroaig until desired level of piety is achieved. Dash self against rocks with Fee Brothers West Indian Orange Bitters. Sip and atone by candlelight, maintaining a sleepless vigil.

  Sour September Sling 

  • 1 fl Oz Blueberry Shrub #2
  • 1.5 fl Oz Patron Silver
  • 6 drops Absente bitters
  • 4 raspberries
  • 1 thick slice lemon cucumber (cut into quarters)

  Shake all with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass (allow drupelets through per personal taste) over two ice cubes, top with Pellegrino, stir. Garnish with a fresh slice of lemon cucumber and a couple fresh raspberries.

  Would like to try this w/orange bitters, just didn’t have any.
