Section 104: Daisies
The lesson I’ve learned from this chapter is that the more complicated the recipes get, the more someone had to consider all the alcohol styles, ages & brands vs. fruits & sweeteners combos to reach a deliciously balanced cocktail. So this is the part where I step back and follow their recipes. But I Have learned from the previous weeks how to spot an obviously bad internet recipe. Particularly when there’s more than 1 oz. of juice or syrup, or more than 2-3 oz. combined of any kinds of liquor, then something’s up and we’re getting into frat punch territory.
And now for the good part, here are some extended family 👪 relatives of Daisies, Sidecars and the Margaritas of the world:
– Cosmopolitan- of course
2 oz. citrus vodka
3/4 oz. Cointreau
1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
1/2 oz. unsweetened cranberry juice
1/2 oz. simple syrup
Shake with ice and strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a lime wheel
-Champs-Élysées-
2 oz. congnac
1/2 oz. green chartreuse
3/4 oz. fresh lime juice
1/2 oz. simple syrup
1 dash Angostura bitters
Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled coupe. Express a lemon twist over the drink, and set on the edge of the glass.
-Corpse Reviver # 2- another Jet favorite ⭐
3/4 oz. London dry gin
3/4 oz. Lillet blanc
3/4 oz. Cointreau
3/4 oz. fresh lime juice
2 dashes absinthe (either spritzed into the glass first, or shaken with the rest of the party if you don’t have a tiny spray bottle for your absinthe, lol)
Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled coupe.
See you next week!
