Pegu Club, Sunrise Variation

With all the changes, it's not much of a Pegu Club anymore, but...

1.5 oz gin
0.5 oz cointreau
0.5 oz lime juice
(0.125 oz grenadine)
1 dash angostura bitters

shake, add 1/2 barspoon of grenadine in to glass , serve

Strawberry Hiru

Continuing on the "Fancy Girly Drink" theme with the Butterscotch Stallion...

2 oz gin (used North Shore No. 11)
0.5 oz dark rum (used Ron Zacapa Centenario)
0.5 oz simple syrup

2 strawberries
2 leaves shiso

2 dashes angostura bitters

muddle strawberries and shiso, add syrup, muddle some more. shake with the rest of the ingredients.
this could probably benefit from some citrus. it's a Japanese variation on Boont Strawberry Hill as is.

The Aromatherapy

an attempt to put as much fragrant stuff in one drink as possible. this is pushing the limit and it tastes like potpurri

1.5 oz old tom gin
0.5 oz orange liqueur (Patron Citronage, courtesy of Benjamin)
0.75 oz meyer lemon juice (stolen from the firehouse around the block)
2 dashes celery bitters
1 drop lavender essential oil

shake and serve with lemon twist.

the lavender essential oil is insanely strong.

Shiso Cocktail Revisited

An improved version of the shiso celery cocktail:

1.75 oz Old Tom Gin (used Hayden's in this round)
0.75 oz St. Germain
0.5 oz Lime Juice
3 shakes Celery Bitters
2 leaves green shiso
1 inch Japanese cucumber

muddle shiso and cucumber
add st. germain, muddle more
add in lime juice, gin, celery bitters
shake
