  • 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.

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.

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.
