Cocktail Recipe: Fireside Holiday

Our signature fragrance, Fireside balances the natural scents of amber, vetiver, and musk to ignite the holiday spirit. Pair it with this equally evocative seasonal sipper, combining a slight bitterness with warming notes of almond, earl grey, and molasses for a perfect complement to its botanical gin backbone.

Recipe by Lucinda Sterling of Cocktail Courier

Ingredients:

• 1.5 ounces gin
• 0.5 ounces anise-flavored liqueur
• 0.25 ounces amaretto liqueur
• 0.5 ounces Earl Grey concentrate tea (steeped to taste)
• 2 dashes molasses bitters
• Garnish: lemon twist

Instructions:

1. Chill a coupe glass by placing in fridge/freezer, or by filling with ice water and setting aside for 5 minutes.

2. Create garnish by using a channel knife or peeler to peel the lemon in 1x4-inch strips, avoiding as much of the pith as possible. Trim the edges of each strip neatly, and then cut in half lengthwise. Wrap a strip of peel around a straw or skewer to create a curl.

3. Measure and add all ingredients (except for garnish) to mixing beaker.

4. Fill mixing beaker almost two-thirds full with fresh ice and stir for about 30 seconds.

5. Remove coupe glass from fridge/freezer, or if using ice water, empty the glass.

6. Strain contents of mixing beaker using julep strainer into glass.

7. Garnish glass with lemon twist.

Cheers!
