This cocktail is always a surprise and delight — kicking off with a strong note of smoke and savory, it reveals layers of botanical and bright orange & citrus notes, like a delicious breakfast!
Breakfast for Dinner
2 oz The Dearborn Gin
1/4 oz North Shore Curaçao
3/4 oz Fresh Lemon juice
1/2 oz Smoked Maple Simple
3/4 oz Egg White
Stir ingredients with ice for at least 20 seconds, then strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice. Garnish with an orange swath expressed over the cocktail & dropped in the glass.
Smoked Maple Simple:
1 cup Maple Syrup
1/2 cup Water
1 bag Lapsang Souchong tea, or equivalent tea leaves
Bring water to a boil, remove from heat, then steep a bag of Lapsang Souchong tea for just a minute before removing it. After discarding the tea bag/leaves, pour the (still very hot!) liquid into a heat safe container, add the maple syrup, and then shake to incorporate. Stores in the fridge for up to 1 month.
