Suffering Fool
Inspired by a classic, this spicy Fall tipple is a blend of NOLET'S Gin and bourbon with ginger and lime, sweetened with honey. We love it scaled-up and batched for game day as well.
1 oz. NOLET'S Silver Gin
1 oz. Bourbon
1 oz. Fresh Lime Juice
0.5 oz. Honey
0.25 oz. Fresh Ginger Juice
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail glass with 0.25 oz. water and shake until honey is dissolved. Add ice and shake vigorously until well chilled. Strain into a Collins glass filled with ice and garnish with an apple, cucumber, or candied ginger.
Apple Cider Fizz
Gin Fizzes are frothy and luxurious in texture and make a real statement when served. We love them because they're simple to customize according to dietary preferences. This Apple Cider Fizz is an excellent Fall cocktail that looks and tastes more complex than it seems.
2 oz. NOLET'S Silver Gin
1 oz. Apple Cider
0.5 oz. Lemon Juice
Dash of Cinnamon
0.25 Heavy Cream (or sub with unsweetened Almond Milk)
1 Egg White (or 1.5 oz. Aquafaba)
1.5 oz. Club Soda (to top)
Demerara Sugar and Cinnamon for the Rim
Before mixing, prepare the glass by combining 1/4 cup of Demerara sugar and 2 tsp. ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Moisten the rim of the glass with a wedge of lemon, and dip into sugar mixture, turning to distribute evenly.
Combine all ingredients but the club soda to a mixing tin without ice. Shake vigorously for about a minute (seriously), add ice, and continue to shake until the outside of the tin frosts up and the liquid inside is cold and frothy. Strain into the sugar-rimmed glass, leaving a little room for soda. Gently pour soda in and spoon remaining froth on top, then garnish with a cinnamon stick!
