Not feeling creative with the name today, but this is delicious.
2 oz bourbon (Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond)
1 oz lemon juice
3/4 oz ginger syrup
3/4 oz Giffard Abricot
Shake all together with ice, a coupe would work but it’s summer, everything needs ice right now. But the sky is beautiful in the summer here even when there are not storms!
This is so balanced, it sounds like a lot of lemon but there is 1.5 oz of sweet stuff and bourbon is sort of sweet too, it’s full flavored.
Oh, I feel ya.
Ginger lemonade with tonic water is nice & complex, if you can have that much sugar.
And we made earlier this week a really good non alcoholic drink in the blender, a riff on Brazilian lemonade. Coconut milk, sugar, quartered limes, lots of basil, a little mint and ice in the blender, not too long, strain through a mesh strainer and serve on crushed ice. There is a recipe on NYT but certainly something you could “measure with your heart” as my daughter says.
