The Christmas Tree
I’ve invented a cocktail, I call it the Christmas Tree. Well, I haven’t perfected it yet, but when it’s done it’ll be called the Christmas Tree. Really I’m trying to figure out what to do with my Eau de Vie de Douglas Fir.
- Rim a cocktail glass with lemon juice
- In a shaker:
- 2 ice cubes
- 1 oz Eau de Vie de Douglas Fir
- 2 oz Tanqueray Gin
- Shake, strain into glass.
- Garnish with a lemon twist
I use Tanqueray gin because I think of it as having botanicals with more of a coniferous taste than say Plymouth (or the first run of Victoria gin).
It’s not right. I tried something last Christmas but I didn’t write it down. This is close to what I had. Let me know if you can think of any improvements…
