#Repost @keepitcrafted with @get_repost ・・・ Weekends are a time to relax with friends and family, especially on gloomy days like today. As the fall season becomes more and more present, we thought it necessary to come up with a drink to be shared by all, yet still customizable for each imbiber. All the credit goes to @boozedetective, who expertly crafted a punch that combines flavors from around the world to improve your immunity to the impending winter’s cold climate. Showcasing three of @docsspirits products, it’s only fair to name this concoction Doctor’s Orders. It’s boozy as can be, and can be tailored to everyone’s own particular treatment needs—add an apple, blood orange, star fruit, or even top it off with drops of green absinthe. Check out the libation’s details below, and enjoy your weekend as the good doctor says to. - Doctor’s Orders ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2 oz Añejo Tequila @gozatequila 1 1/2 oz Cambeltown Scotch Whisky @kilkerranwhisky 1 1/2 oz Uncouth Vermouth @uncouthvermouth 1 1/2 oz Herbal Liqueur @docsspirits 1 1/2 oz Citrus Liqueur @docsspirits 1/2 oz Red Absinthe @docsspirits 1/2 oz Rose Cordial @portlandsyrups ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Glassware: Small Glass Bowls by @mujiusa; Hiware 600 ml Coffee Server ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Surface: Coffee Table by @fromthesource ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Measure and pour everything into a chilled glass coffee server.

Garnish with a twisted, frozen orange peel, let everyone take a whiff, and pour equal parts into each guest’s bowl. Provide a few garnish options, clink your glasses together, and drink your treatment of choice. - Thanks to: @docsspirits for this week’s supply, and @panzerwolf of @vidaverdenyc, @handyhoo of @gozatequila and @boozedetective of @dearirving for joining the session #keepitcrafted (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqiRGkTFn4C/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bvsx6aycfvl5

📷 by @keepitcrafted ・・・ Sourcing ingredients for experiments with cocktails is one of my favorite parts of the journey. Beyond the mainstream bottles and fruits, each other component requires a search of its own. The search might simply be a walk through the local market, a substantial number of page scrolls on esoteric websites, or even asking a friend who’s visiting to bring along an item that’s unavailable in my own locale. Whether a few minutes or several weeks, the process of searching is full of new conversations, ideas and stories. Plus, once the ingredient is in hand, a new variety of concoctions become possible. Today’s libation has three particularly difficult-to-find ingredients: a rare pear brandy from upstate New York, a funky herbal liqueur from Berlin, and a special orgeat from California. For a delectable Sunday treat, check out the Kräuterblüte and its recipe below. Luckily, if you’re looking for these high quality craft ingredients, you’ll find them much more quickly by asking me where to get them than spending weeks looking on your own! - Kräuterblüte ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1 oz Rare Pear Brandy @harvestspirits 3/4 oz Forest Herbal Liqueur @michelbergerhotel 3/4 oz Navel Orange Juice 1/2 oz Herbal Liqueur @docsspirits 1/2 oz Orgeat @smallhandfoods 1 barspoon Red Aperitivo @forthave_spirits 1 dash Saline ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Glassware: 5.5 Coupe Glass by @libbey ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Coaster: White Marble by Thirstystone ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Shake all ingredients vigorously over ice and double-strain into a chilled coupe glass.

🥃 by @boozedetective 📷 by @keepitcrafted ・・・ “Sweet tooth” is a phrase that’s always bothered me. For one, teeth are very unlikely to taste sweet themselves—I haven’t tried, nor do I know anyone who has, but please report back if you have such experience! And secondly, teeth definitely do not experience sweetness. Alas, I admit sweet tongue and sweet nose (or worse, sweet nostril), don’t flow worth a damn. Just as sweet tooth is a bit misleading but gives all the necessary context, so does this dessert cocktail by @boozedetective. No, it’s not cake, but The Tiramisu Cocktail sure tastes just like it. Check out his bombshell of a recipe. No chewing necessary to imbibe. - The Tiramisu Cocktail ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1 1/2 oz Reposado Tequila @gozatequila 1 oz San Pedro Necta Coffee Syrup @cafegrumpy 1/2 oz Amaro @forthave_spirits 1/4 oz Gum Syrup @smallhandfoods 1/4 oz Orgeat @smallhandfoods 1/2 oz Heavy Cream 1 Splash Green Absinthe @docsspirits 1 Egg Yolk ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Glassware: Silver Trim Leopold Tasting Coupe Glass from @cocktailkingdom ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Coaster: Green Marble from @rejuvenation ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Surface: Coffee Table from @fromthesource ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Begin by lightly applying a wedge of Meyer lemon to the top 1/2” of the rim of a chilled coupe glass, followed by turning it in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Then, rinse the glass with green absinthe from @docsspirits. Now, dry shake the ingredients listed above for 10 seconds, followed by shaking over ice vigorously for 10 more seconds. Quickly double-strain into the glass. To garnish, shave black cardamom over the surface of the concoction. Now, drink your dessert. - Thanks to: @docsspirits for this week’s supply, and @panzerwolf of @vidaverdenyc, @handyhoo of @gozatequila and @boozedetective of @dearirving for joining the session #keepitcrafted (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bojz7g2gnIt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bgfsc83x4cdv

🥃 by @panzerwolf 📷 by @keepitcrafted Having a plan for experimenting on new drinks is often useful, and even necessary—liqueurs, syrups, infusions, and so many more depend on preparation long before the making of a cocktail. Still, some situations are better left spontaneous. This is the mindset that led @panzerwolf and myself to our multi-hour adventures to @unsqgreenmarket; we hand-pick fruits, herbs, honeys and peppers from various farmers that we think could add a new flavor to our Monday Meeting experiments. Hairless kiwis made it to the meeting thanks to @windfallfarms, and it seemed only natural to pair them with applejack and green absinthe. To see how they were composed in one libation, check out the Sweet Mountain Dragon by the very talented @panzerwolf. - Sweet Mountain Dragon ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1 1/2 oz Cornelius Applejack @harvestspirits 1/2 oz Green Absinthe @docsspirits 3/4 oz Meyer Lemon Juice 1/2 oz Cane Syrup 2 dashes Fig & Cinnamon Bitters @mister_bitters 4 Hairless Kiwis ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Glassware: Nick & Nora by @rona5starglass ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Coaster: Green Marble by @rejuvenation ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Begin by muddling your hairless kiwis (stems removed) until completely juiced. Measure and add the remaining ingredients. Fill your shaking tin half full of ice, and shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Double-strain into a chilled Nick & Nora glass, and garnish by clipping a slice of kiwano skin neighbored by a slitted hairless kiwi. - Thanks to: @docsspirits for this week’s supply, and @panzerwolf of @vidaverdenyc, @handyhoo of @gozatequila and @boozedetective of @dearirving for joining the session #keepitcrafted (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BohKpquAVTx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bt2eb14vxt1t
