This gin or mezcal version of the Unbeetable Ginger Mocktail is just as wonderful, with a slightly different flavor profile depending on your spirit of choice.
Unbeetable Ginger Mocktail
Earthy and tangy mocktail with a hint of beet sweetness and bite of fresh ginger.
Beet Shrub
Bright pink drinking vinegar with the sweet, earthy flavor of beets and a hint of ginger. Makes beautiful cocktails and mocktails and is delicious just mixed with some plain seltzer.
Pimienta Albahaca Ahumada
This smoky mezcal cocktail has sweetness and herbal flavors from red bell pepper, fresh basil, and amaro, yet is quite refreshing shaken with lime juice and served over ice.
Thyme for Rhubarb Shrubbery
Rhubarb makes a sublime drinking vinegar. Blend with crisp ginger beer and garnish with citrus and thyme for a perfect porch drink during rhubarb season.
Thai Basil Gin Fizz
I bet this would be delicious with a bit of Thai basil muddled into the lime juice and bitters, but I didn’t have any on hand to try it. The flavor from the bitters alone is pretty awesome.
Cherry Gin Fizz
I featured this cocktail at a recent holiday party and it went over really well, even amongst folks who typically don’t love gin. I garnished some of those with rosemary, some with thyme, and some with just the lime.
Two Tone Tavern Tipple
The most popular summer porch drink at the Two Tone Tavern in 2015 has been this simple, refreshing gin cocktail. Good thing we have farty water on tap and fresh mint growing here!
Old Fashioned Milkshake
Blend ice cream, bourbon, and bitters until smooth. Pour into a glass and garnish with luxardo cherry and an orange twist. Enjoy!
Pear Thyme Citrus Fizz
This bubbly, refreshing cocktail was a hit at a Christmas party this year.
