I was having a cocktail of cognac, apricot liqueur, and lemon juice, and thinking we could have a game. Make a drink using one of the ingredients in the previous drink. So to start - a drink with cognac, apricot liqueur, or lemon juice.
One more rule: don’t repeat the chosen ingredient - so Ruaidhrigh brought the lemon juice from the first drink into the amaretto sour - next drink can’t use lemon as the one ingredient brought forward.
I have a bottle of Pisco we used to make a dessert, now I have something else to make with it!
Let’s see…I don’t have ideas with the Pisco… Having lime juice, simple syrup and angostura bitters in the same cocktail is making this tougher than I expected.
Wanting to represent Kentucky, I want to take one of those and pair with bourbon, so let’s do a Kentucky Mule.
3 ounces of bourbon
3/4 ounce of lime juice
Around 8oz of Ginger beer (Fever Tree has a decent one for Mules)
I would have gone for something a bit more complex, but I came up blank on a bourbon Cocktail that didn’t have both simple syrup and angostura bitters.
