Invented By The Hair Of My Chinny Chin-Chin.

So after coming with this intensely Fernet-Brancatious cocktail, the next day I was tasked with something a little less Brancatious. My first thought was to go for something gin-based, mostly because I think I get really sidetracked by bitters in bourbon. Gin’s a little out of my comfort zone, so it becomes a fun challenge.

Mr. Boston has a lot of good gin cocktails. One I’m surprised I hadn’t already tried because it has a few ingredients I’d been trying to mix into stuff is the “Solomon Sling” (page 95), I guess a variation on a Singapore Sling. It’s six parts gin, three parts lemon juice, two parts simple syrup, two parts kirschwasser, one part Cherry Heering (or the knockoff I used) and one dash Angostura bitters.

It was really elegant, I don’t want to say “surprisingly” so but definitely elegant, like a cocktail you’d get at a cocktail bar.
