The big announcement of the week (besides that wonderful infusion cocktail by Judy Bronson) is that we have a new contest upon us. This month I decided to take it easy on everyone and go with a base spirit theme, and that is gin.
Gin is a spirit that is open to such a variety of interpretations that it is an excellent candidate for November's contest. There are so many ways you can use gin and such a variety of flavors it can be paired with that I think this should be a lot of fun and I'm very interested in seeing what you can do with it.
A couple of notes when it comes to gin cocktails... Because the flavor profile can vary so much from brand to brand, it may be critical to your recipe to note a specific brand. Or, you may want to distinguish that you use a London dry or recommend a few brands that you have found to work well in your recipe. The other point I have to make is that I'm going to be a stickler about originality with this one. There are many, many gin cocktails out there, including some of the great classics, so please do your best to give us something new to taste. Modern twists on classics are not out of the question, however.
Have fun and let's see what you got.
