Elder Fashioned
There are various iterations of this Gin old fashioned. I think the Death & Co recipe is by far the best. This is a very flavorful, booze forward, easy to make drink. My only note is not to skip on the grapefruit garnish!
Spicy Paloma
When your Paloma isnt hitting hard enough, infuse jalapeño! The best part of infusing the jalapeño and tequila is that you are in control of the level of spice. Tasting the infusion every 4 to 5 minutes will help prevent you from going overboard (or under) with the spice. Not to mention that heat levels vary between jalapeño peppers and sometimes the steeping time can be longer or shorter to achieve the same level of infusion.
Brown Derby
The Brown Derby is a classic cocktail that uses fresh grapefruit juice and honey simple syrup as its sweetener. This refreshing drink is always a hit for grapefruit fans.
