Ingredients:
- 1½ ounces Junipero Gin
- 1 ounce house-made All Spice Dram*
- 1/3 fresh pear
- Rosemary sprig from the restaurant’s rooftop garden
Preparation:
Start by cutting the pear into six small pieces. Add sectioned pear,
All Spice Dram and Junipero Gin into shaker tin. Shake all ingredients aggressively. Strain through course and fine strainer. Garnish with large rosemary sprig.
*All Spice Dram is similar to an all-spice berry cordial. The following ingredients are blended together and left to steep for two weeks. Then, the concoction is strained through multiple strainers starting from course all the way to cheese cloth. The final step is to add a basic simple syrup to cut the acid and turn it more into a liquor.
- Bacardi 151
- Dried all-spice berries
- Whole black pepper
- Cinnamon
- Nutmeg
- Star Anise
Dram the Gin! will be available for $10 at District American Kitchen and Wine Bar throughout the spring season. Photo Credit: Kelley Karnes.
