Cocktails.
Here are a few fantastic 100 Mill St cocktails to wet the whistle:
The world’s best martini.
A bold and ridiculous statement – until it’s not. 100 Mill St Gin, as much as you’d like, stirred until chilled, poured into a proper martini glass. Garnished with a grapefruit twist.
Grapefruit mint sorbet.
Make a grapefruit mint sorbet (much easier than it sounds) using 1/3 the sweetener of your choice. Chill gin by stirring. With a spoon, add a dollop of your grapefruit mint sorbet to the glass. It will sink to the bottom – don’t panic. Then garnish with a mint button (the top of a mint stalk where the leaves come together) tied with a grapefruit twist.
Basically a Martini – the Dolin Blanc is key here
2 oz 100 Mill St
1 oz Dolin Blanc
2 Dashes of Orange Bitters
Lemon Twist or Wide Peel Garnish
a Second “Basic” Martini
2 oz 100 Mill St
1 oz Lillet
2 Dashes of Orange Bitters
Lemon Twist or Wide Peel Garnish
“New” French 75
A classic; what makes it “new” – No Sugar
2 oz 100 Mill St
1.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice (have to put some emphasis on real lemon juice)
2-3 maybe 4 Dashes of Orange Bitters
Fill reminder of glass with ice cold Brut Champagne
Garnish with a Lemon Twist
(Just like the traditional French 75, add 100 Mill St, Lemon Juice, and bitter with ice in a shaker. Give a good shake for 20 sec or stir until damn well cold. Pour -strain- into coup/wine glass. Top with Champagne.)
The Alaska
(Thanks to Keith of @pssteak for the inspiration). The Alaska origin dates back to 1913 and Jacques Straub.
