Châtelaine
2 oz
A wine made from non-colored grape pulp (skin removed), primarily white grapes.
1 oz
A gin that contains no sweetening agents; usually around 40% ABV. Try Monkey 47.
1 oz
Juice from the pomegranate fruit. Most commonly seen as a syrup, known as grenadine. Just use Pom Wonderful brand juice instead of trying to juice one of these bad boys yourself.
0.5 oz
A popular brand of elderflower liqueur, made with wild elderflowers and based with Eau de vie; 20% ABV.
0.25 oz
A syrup made from dissolving granulated sugar (sucrose) in water. Regular simple is made by combining 1:1 sugar:water by mass, rich simple is 2:1 sugar:water by mass although only 1.5 times as sweet as regular. We always use 1:1 syrup unless otherwise noted in the recipe itself.
1 twist
A yellow citrus fruit. The peel is often used as a garnish while the juice incorporated into the drink for a tart flavor profile (citric acid).
Stir all in a shaker filled with ice. Strain into a coupe glass and garnish with a lemon twist. #stir #straight
The key to this simple cocktail is a dry wine that doesn’t smell of cat pee. Taste your pomegranate first, and if excessively sour, and only then, add the St-Germain. Add the simple syrup if your pomegranate juice is unsweetened.
