Recipe found in David Lebovitz Drinking French book 📖 Meant to be served up, it screamed to me for a tropical dressing using a tiki style tumbler. Pineapple 🍍 front and centre with gong and sweet vermouth backdrop. The Campari added a nice bitterness lightening the overall libation and lingering with the pineapple for several seconds in the aftertaste. 😋 As I sipped it popped into my head this could be a gin version of the Jungle Bird. For some reason this thought further enhanced the enjoyment of the drink. A Is For Ananas 1 oz (30ml) Dry Gin 1 oz (30ml) Pineapple Juice ¾ oz (22.5 ml) Sweet Vermouth ¾ oz (22.5ml) Campari Fresh Mint

It's been awhile since I've posted here; my life has been on fast-forward. That said, I'm still interested in oregano liqueur and have found the following recipe to be delicious: 2 Tequila 1 Lime Juice 1 Oregano Liqueur 1 Banana Liqueur To make the oregano liqueur, steap one jar of oregano in 400g of 95% grain alcohol for 2 weeks. Then strain and add 1000g of 2-water-to-1-sugar syrup. Adjust syrup to taste. This cocktail is fire. I think it's good enough to warrant making the liqueur. That said, there are other flavors that pair well with oregano: mango, blackberry, raspberry, and triple sec. I find rhum agricole or cachaca also pairs well with oregano.

Thank you all for sticking around. We have completed our relocation and we are enjoying a well-deserved holiday in Italy 🇮🇹 It's been a crazy ride trying to work, move between two houses and keep up with everything. It was a hard time as we lost our dog during this time, and this made a mark on my kids. I've also decided to step down from my active bartending job and move to a daytime job. I hope it will help me spend more time with my family and be able to film and engage more with all of you. Once we return from our holiday, I'll set up the studio and return to filming. I can't wait to see you all.
