When Kris and I were in Evora last year, the hotel restaurant offered a serving of their local potable, a cordial called poejo made from pennyroyal, which was new to me. It struck me as being similar in spirit to Creme de Violette, which is in one of my favorite cocktails, so used it to mix this up: 1.5oz Hendricks Amazonia gin, 0.5oz Luxardo Maraschino, 0.5oz lemon juice, and 0.5oz of the poejo.

Let's call it an "Aviação"

Tonight's #cocktail is one of my own invention: The Chorister

2 oz honey whiskey
3/4 oz lemon juice
3/4 oz Lillet blanc
1/4 oz crème de cassis
Absinthe to rinse

I raise this glass to all those who are singing multiple (longer) services this week and weekend. The honey and lemon should soothe those tired vocal cords.

Tonight's #aperitivo #aperitif is the aged #Daiquiri

60ml Havana Club 7y
15ml lime juice
10ml simple sirup

Shake&fineStrain in a chilled coupe and garnish with a lime wheel.

I love rum (any kind), I love Daiquiri, this one is so different from the classic one with unaged rum that is in a league of its own.
Highly recommend!

LAGOON WATER

½ oz lime cordial 🍋🟩
¼ oz blue simple syrup 🔵
1½ oz gin
1 dash umami bitters
4 drops saline
top with seltzer

Garnish: orchid
Method: Set soda aside and build drink in glass in the order listed. Add a large rock of ice, add soda, and stir until color is even.

I found this one on the cheerstohappyhour IG channel and had to work my butt off to make it happen ;) The build is quite involved as listed, making blue simple syrup and I also had to make the lime cordial (I'd wanted to for a while anyway). The umami bitters are also very niche, but luckily I'd already gotten them for another cocktail some months back. And finally, the clear ice and maintaining orchids at home are both their own projects spanning days/months :D If you can manage to make it, it's got a five-star look and tastes great on a sunny afternoon!

🔵 Blue simple syrup: combine 1 cup sugar and ¾ teaspoon blue spirulina powder (or food coloring), and stir to incorporate dry ingredients. Once mixed, add one cup water then stir until everything is dissolved.

🍋🟩 I used Jeffrey Morgenthaler's lime cordial recipe: https://jeffreymorgenthaler.com/lime-cordial/
