Tart Gin Cooler

I got off nice and early this evening and was craving a big glass of
something cold. This usually means a beer or soda but the cupboards
were bare. I located some tonic getting dusty in the back of a
cupboard then found this recipe. I like a gin and tonic ok, but this
is really good! The addition of bitters is nice. I put a pretty
healthy splash in. I think the Stirrings blood orange bitters would
work as well.

2 oz gin
2 oz pink grapefruit juice
2 oz tonic
Peychaud bitters (to taste)

Lambic Blinker

This is my new favorite! Jamie Boudreau recipe based on the Blinker
Cocktail.

2 oz rye
½ oz Framboise Lambic Liqueur (recipe below)
1 oz grapefruit juice
Shake and strain into a cocktail glass.

Framboise Lambic Liqueur
16 oz Framboise Lambic
16 oz sugar
20 oz vodka
Place lambic in a glass and stir, releasing CO2.
Place lambic in fridge overnight (releasing the rest of the CO2).
Place lambic in a pot on high heat.
Slowly add sugar, stirring all the while.
As the beer heats a head will form; remove from heat.
Skim off head and allow to cool.
When cooled, if any "chunks" of head left, skim off.
Place syrup in bottle and add vodka.
Shake well.
