GUION COCKTAIL
Well met again. It has been a (long) while since my last post, but hush now child, it's time for a new cocktail! I introduce you to the Guion Cocktail.
Full of flavor and complexity, this is definitely a pre-dinner cocktail. Let's have a look at it:
- 4.5 cl gin
- 4.5 cl sweet vermouth
- 2 dashes orange bitters
- 1 bar spoon of D.O.M. Benedictine ("float")
Stir the first three ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Finally pour the Benedictine over the drink. It won't float though, so don't worry about it sinking.
First things first. This is a beautiful cocktail. Its color is vibrant and very captivating. I could easily smell herbs from both the (dominating) Benedictine and the vermouth. Taste-wise, iiiinteresting. To be honest, for an all-alcoholic cocktail this sure doesn't taste like one! But then again, this is not a "simple" drink to just enjoy in a hurry.
To sum this cocktail up...I could say if you like herbal flavors and something to really think about, the Guion Cocktail is for you!
