I didn't think that I would like this one but it was surprisingly good.

1/6 oz Dubonnet

Squeeze a orange peel on top (added after picture was taken)

Gin Smash

4 oz Genever

4 mint leaves

1 tsp powdered sugar

2 tsp water

Muddle sugar, water an mint. Add crushed ice. Add gin.

Night night!

Next up: Dulchin

My first Pisco drink. Kinda reminds me a bit of a margarita except sweeter and not as good. [i think I need to start scaling back on the Apricot brandy/liqueur in drinks.] Despite all its shortcomings, it disappeared very quickly.

2 oz Cesar Pisco

1 oz R&W Apricot Liqueur

1 oz Lime Juice

2 tsp Grand Marnier

1 tsp Grenadine

Cheers to Al! Happy Birthday cocktail buddy!

Yeah, a lot of the drinks work better with a eau-de-vie. Thats what I found for this particular drink at least. I'd recommend the Kuchan stuff or Blume Marillen
