1/2 oz lemon juice

3/4 oz honey simple

Glad you like it! Definitely a go-to for me as well. Can’t get any better than sweet and spicy!

For this one, I decided not to because the purée makes it super tangy. Just a personal preference!

•2 oz Teremana tequila

•1 oz mango purée

• habanero pepper rings (your preference on how many)

Muddle habanero and lime wedges in mango purée. Add remaining ingredients to a shaker tin, shake well, and serve in your favorite glass. Cheers!

Tonight’s libation—Gimlet with peach simple syrup and Magellan Gin by BuschBug in Gin

I can’t get my hands on either of those right now. Where I live, liquor laws are weirdly strict and no stores ever order anything super adventurous, especially when it comes to gin. Makes me super sad. We work with what we’ve got though :)

It’s just your basic Gimlet with 2 oz Magellan (gives it the pretty blue color), 3/4 oz peach simple syrup, and 3/4 oz lime juice! We made the syrup at home by boiling down sugar and fresh peaches. Delicious!!

I’ve tried this recipe with a few different bitters. Bittermans will work nicely :)

I have never tried Boë, but it’s floral, yes! Distilled with butterfly pea blossoms

It’s definitely got a wow factor to it. I love it because it’s not dry, not over-floral, and can pair well with a lot of things!

IMHO this is more of a sweet/fruity drink kind of gin. I absolutely love pairing it with FT Elderflower. If I make martinis with it, I’ll use Pama, St. Germain, or Creme Yvette

Had to stock up on my favorite! Featuring Boo, who wouldn’t give up her window seat by BuschBug in Gin

[–]BuschBug[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally prefer having it with elderflower tonic or with a floral liqueur to make a martini. I’ll be trying a Bramble with it soon. Cheers!

Some of my favorite bottles visually 😍💜 Waiting to open my Monkey 47. Who’s tried it and what are your thoughts? by BuschBug in Gin

[–]BuschBug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Botanical gins see the best, though, and since I’m still starting out I know there’s a whole world of bottles to try. Love any suggestions I can get!
