Grand Stand
No one ingredient is grandstanding in this classic brandy and gin-based, maraschino-influenced sour
Almond Martini
A almond-flavoured Vodkatini that delivers on its name. Best when made with tonka bitters (or vanilla bitters), adding balance and depth of flavour
Apricot Lady Sour
This seemingly soft, fluffy and apricot fruity cocktail hides a most unladylike rum bite

1oz. Gray Whale Gin
1-2/3oz. Dassai 45 Junmai Daiginjo Sake
1/3oz. PF Dry Curaçao
4 dash. The Bitter Truth Cucumber bitters
2 drops. 4:1 Saline
We lacked the cucumber for garnish, so I added the bitters, which helped modulate the sweetness. The saline brought it all together and merged nicely with marine influenced gin. The sake is a good one and di not get lost in shuffle at all.
