This cocktail has #Scotch and #Riesling in it. The pineapple juice brings something special out of a good blended Scotch. #Pineapple gives the drink a crisp citrus zest, but also brings a lot of sugar into it – hence the Riesling, to balance it out. To bring this drink back down to earth, we picked some fresh #thyme from my garden and mixed it into a quick and easy simple syrup mixture; that really did the trick.

In honor of #spring, we transformed the #classic Whiskey Smash into a beautiful spring #cocktail with Old Tom #gin and an orange twist. With a bar spoon of #marmalade and the addition of triple sec, this cocktail takes a fresh classic and makes it perfect for sipping on a warm day. The orange and mint pair perfectly with the gin in this cocktail and lemon juice brings everything together with a little kick, as is its wont.

The Negroni gets a lot of attention as everyone’s favorite equal-parts cocktail. If you prefer a #gin drink that’s more #herbal and #refreshing, however, consider the Last Word. It’s made with #gin, green #Chartreuse, and fresh lime, plus #Maraschino liqueur for a touch of sweetness. This #Prohibition-era cocktail is #easy to make since, like the Negroni, all ingredients are added in equal proportion. This also makes it a great option to #batch for larger groups.

The Countess #cocktail is a drink that, in addition to an Earl Grey-infused Lillet Blanc, includes #gin, lemon, and #pomegranate juice, plus sweet #elderflower liqueur. The result is a #refreshing cocktail whose fruity flavor is buttressed by Earl Grey. The Countess is topped with #orange blossom water and flamed #absinthe, producing a mild numbing effect on the palate that can be more simply imitated at home with an absinthe rinse of the glass.

Yellow #Chartreuse usually plays the part of a modifier in a drink, but here, it’s the #star.

The #Negroni is always said to be the cocktail of threes: It should be made with three equal parts, should take three sips to #drink, and you need to try it at least three times before you really enjoy it. Of course, when you can make a #variation that is a little more palatable for your personal taste, you might really fall in love the first time around.
