Pandan Gin Sour
~~~~~
Recipe:
1.5 oz Gin
1 oz Blanc Vermouth
1 oz Lime Juice
1 oz Pandan Coconut Orgeat
1 Dash Orange Bitters (Optional)
Tumblr media
Combine ingredients into cocktail shaker with two large cubes of ice, one cracked and one whole. Shake for 12 (twelve) to 15 (fifteen) seconds to combine. Double strain into a coupe style glass of your choosing and garnish the rim with a wheel of lime.
Pandan Coconut Orgeat:
2 cups white sugar
1 1/4 cup almond milk (unsweetened and unflavored)
1/3 cup Pandan powder (no sugar added)
1 1/2 tbsp coconut extract
1/2 tbsp almond extract
Combine the ingredients into a medium saucepan and stir together over very low heat. Bring gently up to a simmer and allow the mixture to sit until the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not bring the mixture up to a full boil, as the Pandan powder will cause it to foam up substantially, as can happen with other syrups like honey syrup. Once homogenous, bottle in an air-tight, sterilized bottle and keep in the fridge.

What is Pandan?
Every so often, I come behind my bar to play around with a completely new foreign flavor. In this case, this cocktail is the product of my fascination with Pandan.
Pandan is a tropical grass found throughout Asia, and is commonly used as a mean to flavor local cuisines.
Tumblr media
The flavor of Pandan is quite like a combination of vanilla and coconut, contextualized by the grass-like nature of the plant and the resulting flavor that produces.
It’s delightfully light and complex, especially compared to products that attempted to emulate its component flavors like commercial syrups.
I was introduced to Pandan through a local Asian deli called “Cravings Deli” in Portage, MI. Nestled inside the Pacific Rim Asian food market, this little spot serves up delicious food and boba tea, for which one is the flavors is Pandan and black syrup.
I get that exact order every single time, and it is always amazing.
Since being introduced to this flavor, I elected to utilize it in the context of cocktails by making the above mentioned syrup.
~~~~~
The Pandan Sour is very light and citrusy, but doesn’t lack backbone.
The primary sweetener being a modified orgeat gives the drink the necessary “bass notes” that allow the flavor to pop as it rolls across your tongue.
This low, sweet flavor of the Pandan syrup is cut by bright citrus and given evolution by the herbal notes of the blanc vermouth. I used Dolin Blanc while developing this recipe and it worked phenomenally, though a more robust Blanc vermouth might fair better.
The botanicals of the gin give this melange of flavors a common partner off of which to express themselves, and all told the cocktail that results is deeply smile inducing and pleasant.

15ml dry rose vermouth
Edible rose petals

Pour the vodka, lychee liqueur and vermouth into a large glass or jug. Fill up with ice then stir with a bar spoon until the outside of the container feels very cold. Strain into a martini or coupe glass and garnish with a lychee on a cocktail stick and a red or pink rose petal resting on top

I think cocktails need to be given more unhinged sounding names.
“According to the recipe book, this one is called The Ruination of Mankind.”
“Yeah this is a gin based cocktail, it’s called Edith Keeler Must Die.”
“I’ve prepared a specialty consisting of triple sec and vermouth. I like to call it The Final Insult.”
And so on.
You get the idea.

This is something I've wanted to try for a long time—putting boba in a cocktail. This is an Americano cocktail with lychee tapioca boba for...garnish?

Tomato and tequila go so well together--I know I prefer a Tía Maria over a regular Bloody Mary myself--and I had some leftover juice from a can of tomatoes recently that begged to be made into some sort of cocktail. Instead of going with a Bloody Mary variation, I kept it a little more simple with some tomato juice, pepperoncini brine, dry vermouth, and tequila, and…the result was really good and then made better with a sprinkling of Tajín and some grasshopper salt.
A little unconventional, but still a great way to get a savory cocktail without having to go to too much trouble.
