1/2 oz gin
1/2 oz lime
1/4 oz maraschino
1/4 oz green chartreuse
1/4 oz syrup

this works. am thinking you can sub lychee or ikea elderflower syrup for the simple syrup. working title “ellipsis, lychee” omg im a dork

…

o-positive (renamed because ‘penta-tonic’ makes it sound like either it contains tonic water, or that its made from five ingredients)

3/4 oz punt e mes
1/8 peach
1/2 oz black rum/rye

so tasty. with a flavorful and/or ripe peach, might be able boost the spirit to proportions equal to the punt e mes.

…

some things i have planned:

experiment #1: infused tequila, pineapple, jalepeno, chardonnay, lemon, agave, black qi mist

experiment #2 (”improved sunrise”): tequila, lillet, triple sec/cointreau/orange shrub. aqua perfecta framboise at the bottom. maybe misted with vodka infused with orange flower water or hangar one mandarin. (am i a whore for st. george now? all it takes is a take-home glass and my pants come off?) maybe a foam of either of those things plus orange juice.

experiment #3: charbay grapefruit (or vodka + grapefruit juice, or maybe i’ll experiment with my own grapefruit infusion), sake (need to visit the tasting room in berkeley), vanilla, pistachio orgeat, lemon

experiment #4: something with mead

experiment #5: rum, kahlua, falernum, triple sec (like picante’s mexican coffee)
