Spirit Forward, Herbaceous

Alaska

This citrusy cousin to the Martini is a great spirit-forward sipper all year round. The icy and herbaceous Genepy blends seamlessly with a crisp London Dry, and Bolivar & Orange bitters amp up the aromatics.

Recommended Recipes

Trinity bitters


Black Manhattan

A modern classic, invented in 2015, the Black Manhattan ups the ante by swapping out vermouth for Amaro Averna, an Sicilian digestif that clocks in at 29% ABV. Trinity Bitters adds the requisite Orange and Aromatic bitters, and Cherry Bark Vanilla, the third in the blend, adds a woodsy dryness which helps to further balance this punchy behemoth.

Orange bitters


Citrus Old Fashioned

A gin Old Fashioned is akin to a Martini, but the added body and aromatics added by the syrup and bitters help paint a picture of gin in high definition.

Bolivar bitters


French 75

This cocktails journey began as a few variations inspired by the headlines of World War I until finally settling into the more contemporary version of gin, lemon and sparkling wine that we know today. Around 1915, reports of the powerful French 75 artillery gun gave inspiration to bartenders tinkering with boozy beverages, leading to an initial version made of gin, apple brandy, lemon, and grenadine. It was around 1927 when the the modern version was published by Judge Jr, but even then, the drink was served Collins style with ice. It wasn't until the 80's when the drink made it's way into a flute. Easy variations on this cocktail can be made with different syrups like raspberry or cinnamon, but the key is always make sure the sparkling wine you use is dry and as cold as possible.

Orange bitters


Bijou

Taking it's name from it's jewel toned hue, Bijou is herbaceous, aromatic and lightly bitter. Heirloom Genepy offers a more citrus forward herb profile, which together with Orange bitters, helps brighten this boozy beast.
